The UST Miguel de Benavides Library’s contribution to the commemoration of the 400th year anniversary of the foundation of the University is an exhibit entitled "Lumina Pandit: an Exhibition of Historical Treasures." Why “Lumina Pandit?” “Lumina” is a Latin word which means “light” or “lights;” the words luminary, luminous, derive from it. “Pandit” is also Latin from the verb “pandere,” the basic meaning of which is, to spread, to grow, to expand. Consequently, the University of Santo Tomas can be conceived as the instrument through which light is spread in our land.
