APOSTOLIC BENEDICTION GRANTED TO THE MANILA UNIVERSITY OF S. TOMAS MAY 18, 1907. Dilectis filiis gratulantes et fausta quaeque ad bonum certamen certandum a Domino adprecantes, juxta preces apostolicam Benedictionem ex animo impertimus. PIUS PP. X. THE TITLE OF PONTIFICAL UNIVERSITY BY POPE LEO XIII. "Quoniam autem de scholis publicis sermo incidit, Lyceum magnum Manilanum a Dominicanis Sodalibus Innocentii X. auctoritate conditum, merita sine laude praeterire nolumus. Quod quia doctrinae integritate praestantiaque doctorum floruit semper, neque exiguas peperit utilitates, non modo ab Episcopis omnibus benevole haberi cupimus, sed in tutelam Nostram Nostrorumque Successorum ultro recipimus. Quare privilegia et honores a Romanis Pontificibus Innocentio X et XI et Clemente XII eidem concessa plenissime comfirmantes, illud, Pontificiae Universitatis titulo augemus, eamdem vim habere volumus quam in ceteris Pontificiis Universitatibus obtinent."
