The Search for Truth Statue in
front of the Administration Building consists of two gigantic nude
figures of a man and a woman depicting mutual partnership in the
quest for truth, knowledge, and the professions. Being naked express
boldness in seeking for the truth. The sculpture which has a
meaningful inscription at its footstall was inspired by Dr. Fernando
A. Bernardo, the first President of the Visayas State College of
Agriculture. The inscription reads as follows:
"Let search
for truth prevail as a dominant activity of university life. For
truth is the guiding light in our paramount mission: the pursuit
of excellence.
A teacher must
foster intellectual curiosity among students and train them in the
art and science of searching for truth to achieve excellence -
whether in the classroom, in the laboratory, in nature, or in
society. He who does less is not worthy of his profession."
