Album Info:
(DSC09500) Channon Hall: The original home of the College of Theology now Divinity School. Life in the University was interrupted when World War II came. On May 1942, some three weeks after the fall of Corregidor, two Japanese transports anchored in Dumaguete. Silliman was occupied by the Japanese forces and was converted into a garrison. One of its buildings, Channon Hall, became the headquarters of the dreaded Japanese "kempeitai" or military police where many Filipinos were tortured and killed. During the occupation, many members of the faculty and the student body were forced to evacuate to four localities within the province. Under the leadership of Dr. Arthur Carson, then president of Silliman, the remaining members of the faculty continued the operations of the University in the mountains of Negros Oriental. This led to the formation of what was then called the "Jungle University" in Malabo, Valencia - one of the localities in the province. (Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silliman_Un iversity)
