The University of Santo Tomas maintains a tradition of celebrating the Holy Eucharist before the opening of the school year, referred to as the "Misa de Apertura " and just like its fellow universities in Europe the "Misa de Apertura" is immediately followed by "Discurso de Apertura" which is the traditional professorial lecture delivered by a member of the UST Academic Senate. This occasion is obviously colorful and regal since all faculty members are in their respective academic regalia. It is a university tradition of culture a celebration practiced for the last 399 years of UST history.
