History
Trinity College of Quezon City
Trinity College of Quezon City was launched through the bequest of the Procter and Gamble stock of the family of Bishop Paul Matthews. Rt. Rev. Lyman C. Ogilby, then Bishop of the Philippine Episcopal Church, initiated the move to set up a Christian college. The seed money was used to purchase the former Capitol City College on 226 Eulogio Rodriguez Senior Boulevard, Quezon City, the current location of the university's elementary and high schools.
Initially there were 1,700 students enrolled. The College offered Basic Education and three collegiate courses - Liberal Arts, Commerce, and Teacher Education. That same year, the first Board of Trustees, headed by Rev. Wayland S. Mandell, was convened, and the First College President, Dr. Arthur L. Carson, was installed. By 1965, the Joint Council of the Church led by Bishop Ogilby of the Philippine Episcopal Church and Bishop Isabelo de los Reyes of Iglesia Filipina Independiente approved the transfer of the collegiate courses to the College’s present location, the Cathedral Heights compound. The Arts and Science Building was the sole structure for all the colleges, until St. Luke’s Hospital School of Nursing merged with TCQC to form a five-year collegiate course in nursing. St. Luke’s Nurse’s Home became part of the college’s expansion, where it provided space for teaching. A medical technology course was later affiliated with Trinity College, and the Graduate School followed in 1985.
From a one-building structure, Trinity College built Wayland Mandell Hall, which houses the Main Library (1982), Noble Gym (1973), Ann Keim Barsam Hall for the Colleges of Education and Business Administration (2003), Health Science Building (2004) for the College of Nursing and Medical Technology, Center for Community and Extension Services (1995), Human Kinetics swimming pool (2002), the Canteen (2003), and the Mary Niven Alston Hostel for the College of Hospitality and Tourism Management (2006).
Many of Trinity's nursing graduates go on to pass the licensure exams in nursing, medical technology, and education. Recently, the College of Nursing placed 1st for the 3rd time among the top performing schools in board exams with a 99% passing rate. All the programs of the College were also accredited very satisfactory by accrediting agencies. The programs in the colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Education, and Graduate Studies were given Level 3, 5 year accreditation by Association of Christian Schools, Colleges and Universities (ACSCU), while the Colleges of Nursing and Medical Technology received Level 2, 3 years from Philippine Association of Accredited Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU).
The University has international programs, such as the International Partnership for Service-Learning and Japan Foundation's Japanology course. It is a beneficiary of the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia (UBCHEA) and an active member of international organizations such as the Association of Christian Universities and Colleges in Asia (ACUCA), Federation of Asia-Pacific Colleges, and Colleges and Universities of Anglican Communion (CUAC).
Naming
In 1963, the Capitol City College was renamed, Trinity College of Quezon City, after Trinity College (Connecticut), USA whose then president was Bishop Ogilby’s father.
In 2006 it became a university and changed its name to Trinity University of Asia, becoming one of the Anglican/Episcopalian universities in Asia.
University seal
The Seal is a modification of the Seal of Trinity College of Quezon City (TCQC). The predominant colors are deep green, metallic gold and white. Green stands for life, gold for royalty and white for purity.
- At the center is a shield, which stands for dignity. The shield bears a triangle with rays emanating from it, symbolizing the Triune God wherein the name Trinity is derived.
- In the triangle is an annulet signifying the vision and allegiance of the two Churches: the Episcopal Church in the Philippines and Iglesia Filipina Independiente to the University, which they jointly established. Inscribed at the center of the annulet are three Hebrew letters representing TUA.
- Surmounting the shield is a Bishop’s miter indicating that the University is a church-related institution of learning.
- Crossed behind the shield are a staff and an ornamental key. The staff or crosier in the form of shepherd’s crook symbolizes the Bishop’s responsibilities toward the University, while the key represents the University’s physical properties and signifies the President’s stewardship.
- The abbreviated Latin inscription surrounding the upper half of the shield reads: “The Seal of Trinity University of Asia”. On the other hand, the English inscription surrounding the upper two-thirds portion of the Seal reads: “Trinity University of Asia”.
- The Roman numerals at the bottom: MCMLXIII (1963) and MMVI (2006), respectively, indicate the year when Trinity College of Quezon City was founded and the year when it became Trinity University of Asia.
- The wavy edges of the Seal represent a body of water.
