De La Salle University-Manila (DLSU-M, La Salle Taft, or simply La Salle) is a private Catholic university which was established on 16 June 1911 by the De La Salle Brothers on Calle Nozaleda in Paco, Manila at the request of Archbishop Jeremiah James Harty. The University is located on Taft Avenue in the district of Malate in Manila. It offers programs in undergraduate and graduate levels covering various fields in business and economics, engineering, science, liberal arts, education and computer studies.
In 1921, the campus was moved to its present location on 2401 Taft Avenue in Malate. The school originally was exclusively for boys until 1973 when it opened its doors to women. The university draws inspiration from the life and works of the institution's founder, Saint John Baptist de La Salle.
DLSU-Manila is the oldest campus of De La Salle Philippines, a system composed of 18 Lasallian institutions in the Philippines established in 2006 to replace the De La Salle University System. The university has contributed much on the development of the other campuses of the system in the past, and is commonly referred to as the Main Campus or La Salle Main However, usage of the term is often discouraged because all DLSP member schools are independent and are not centralized on the main campus.
The university’s programs are arranged in a trimestral calendar which consists of three regular trimesters of about 13-14 weeks each and a trimestral breaks of about two weeks each. Under this calendar, the subjects for each trimester follow an evenly-paced schedule.
The university’s colors are Green and White, with the color green adopted as a tribute to Ireland, where the first batch of Brothers came from, while white represents the Philippines, pearly white from the "Pearl of the Orient Seas".
The official mascots of the university are also green archers: Gordo, a fat archer, Flaco, a thin archer, and Sally, a lady archer.
