Abstract
The library science program of the University of the Philippines began in 1914, and the institution soon became one of a small number of colleges under the American flag to offer a bachelor’s degree in library science. Twelve years later, the American Library Association’s Board of Education for Librarianship described the program as having “an extensive curriculum,” and by 1929 the program was completely in the hands of Filipinos. This article examines the development of the program in its formative period.
