context_page_description: The Central Philippine University is a private research university in Iloilo City, Philippines. Established in 1905 through a benevolent grant of the American industrialist and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller under the auspices of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society, it is the first Baptist founded and second American university in the Philippines and Asia.
  It initially consisted of two separate schools, the Jaro Industrial School and the Bible School, both founded by the American missionary William Orison Valentine.
  In 1913, the Jaro Industrial School began admission of women and started offering high school education. It converted into a junior college in 1923 and in 1936, it became a senior college with the eventual merging of the Baptist Missionary Training School to the college's theology department, a separate theological school for women. In 1953, the college attained university status.
