Opening of the school year
Misa de Apertura and Discurso de Apertura
Being the Catholic University of the Philippines, UST opens each school year with the Mass of the Holy Spirit. The mass is officiated by a Dominican father at the Santisimo Rosario Parish. The opening is formally declared by the Apostolic Nuncio or his delegate, in consonance with the status of UST as a pontifical university.[1]
Discurso de apertura consists of a printed extensive scientific paper read by its author at the formal opening of the school year. The annual opening address was initiated on July 16, 1866, discontinued in 1929, and resumed in 1946. The professor or dean assigned the preparation of this academic paper is appointed by the rector of the university a few months prior to the opening of each school year.[1][2]

The Thomasian Welcome Walk (TWW)
Previously called as The Rites of Passage, the Thomasian Welcome Walk is an annual university tradition that seeks to instill a sense of pride and belonging among the youngest members of the Thomasian Family.[16] It symbolizes the linkage between incoming freshmen and their predecessors in the university. The first walked took place in June 14, 2002.[17]
Freshmen from the 19 faculties and colleges of the university, including the high school, pass under historic Arch of the Centuries and walk towards the UST Main Building. Shortly after the symbolic passing is the Eucharistic Celebration—the highlight of the event. A welcome party featuring live bands and other university organizations comes after the mass.[18][19][20]
School spirit and sport traditions
Alma mater
The UST Hymn is the alma mater of the University of Santo Tomas. The lyrics were written by Dean Julio Esteban Anguita, the UST Conservatory of Music's first director. The music was arranged by J.M. Hernandez and was orchestrated by Manuel P. Maramba, O.S.B. Today, only the chorus of the original hymn is being sung and being played.[21]
Lyrics
University of Santo Tomas Hymn |
- Seat of Aquinas, majestic enduring
- the storms of the ages.
- Shrine of our ancient fathers,
- Carved in these isles
- This is the castle imperious.
- This is the home of our sages.
- Blessed by the Cross of the angels,
- Gift of our Mother Spain!
- Deep in her echoing chambers
- Flames of eternal yearning
- Cast their benignant shadows
- athwart this beloved land.
- Keeping the torches of freedom
- and heave forever burning.
- Deep in the heart led by the Saviour's command.
- Chorus:
- God of all nations
- Merciful Lord of our restless being,
- Sweep with your golden lilies;
- This fountain of purest light;
- Trace with the sails of the galleons
- the dream beyond our seeing
- Touch with the flame of your kindness
- the gloom of our darkest night.
- Keep us in beauty and truth and virtues
- impassioned embrace
- Ever your valiant legions
- Imbued with unending grace!

Salinggawi Dance Troupe
Every year, the UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe, the official dance group of the university holds dance competitions in August and dance concerts in March.
Colors and mascots
UST's official mascot is the Growling Tiger. Another mascot, Quster, which stands for Quadricentennial UST Tiger, was specially made for the 400th anniversary of the university. In The Varsitarian, UST students are represented by Tomas U. Santos.
College events and traditions
Part of the University's mission is to holistically develop students to be competent, compassionate professionals, and committed servants of the Church. Through regular recollections, Thomasians are given a different kind of time-out from their classrooms to help them find their spiritual self and God's presence in their souls. Half-day recollections are usually held in the UST Medicine Auditorium while one to three-day long retreats are usually held in the Dominican Retreat House—Caleruega, Philippines in Nasugbu, Batangas.
College insignias
The coat of arms of the older faculties and colleges of the university were designed by Cenon M. Rivera, former director of the Fine Arts department of UST.[30][31] Each college also has a patron saint that was chosen based on the field or profession of the college. The selection is administered by the council of regents of the university.
Roll call
In university events, like the Thomasian Welcome Walk and The Sending-off rights, the roll call of the university colleges is done according to their foundation year instead of the usual alphabetical order. Founded in 1611, the Faculty of Sacred Theology is called and introduced first. Being the youngest, founded in 2009, the College of Tourism and Hospitality Management is called last.
College weeks
- Tourism and Hospitality Management — in August
- Rehabilitation Sciences, Commerce, and Medicine and Surgery — in September
- Accountancy, Theological, Fine Arts and Design, Music, and Nursing — in November
- Pharmacy — in December
- Canon Law — in January
- High School, Arts and Letters, Science, Education, Engineering, Architecture, and Physical Education and Athletics — in February
Christmas celebrations
The Christmas Concert
The UST Christmas Concert features talents from the UST Conservatory of Music, UST Singers, Coro Tomasino, Liturgikon, Conservatory Chorus Class, and the UST Symphony Orchestra. Traditional Filipino and foreign Christmas classics are performed in the event. At the end of every concert, the UST Symphony Orchestra and performers lead the audience in singing some songs such as 'Ang Pasko ay Sumapit.'[42]
The Christmas Concert Gala began in 2003 when the UST secretary-general Fr. Isidro Abaño, O.P., envisioned a musical concert that would bring together world-class Thomasian talents who would perform for UST students, faculty, alumni, friends, and benefactors. Initially, the concert helped raise funds for the various projects of the university, such as scholarship grants of the students of the UST Conservatory of Music, but since 2008, it has also contributed in UST’s heritage-conservation efforts.[42][43] Maricris Zobel, socialite and an art patroness, has been the co-chair of the organizing committee since then. Proceeds of the Christmas Gala has been allotted for the victims of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng in 2009,[44] restoration of various paintings, and construction of the UST Museum of Arts and Sciences Hall of Visual Arts in 2011.[45]
Various organizations like the Belo Medical Group, the San Miguel Corporation, the Enrique Zobel group of companies, and the Singapore Airlines have become presenters of the event.[42][43][46] In 2010, the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs hosted the opening of the concert and the Lumina Pandit, an exhibit for the quadricentennial festivities.[47]
At the ninth Christmas Concert Gala in December 01, 2011, the newly installed Martyr's Carillon at the façade of the Santisimo Rosario Parish was rang by the Professor Raul Sinico, Dean of the UST Conservatory of Music.[42][48]

In the Neo-Centennial Celebration in January this year, the University was also the first to set up a pyromusical in four different structures and buildings. The music and choreography of all the pyromusical events were arranged by Don Miguel Villarosa and the technicals and set-up were done by John Oliver Zeng, alumni of the UST College of Fine Arts and Design, class of 2009. The fireworks off all the pyromusical events were provided by Dragon Fireworks, a local fireworks manufacturer.[57]
