The '''Father Saturnino Urios University''' is a [[Catholic]] [[private university]] run by the Diocese of Butuan in [[Butuan City]],


[[Philippines]].
== Early Life ==


==History==
John Guille Millais was the fourth son and seventh child of Sir [[John Everett Millais]], the Pre-Raphaelite Painter and his wife [[Effie Gray]]. He grew up with a wide interest in natural history which embraced horticulture, big game hunting and particularly wildfowl. As a boy he made a collection of birds shot around the Perthshire coast of Scotland where he was brought up. This formed the basis of a lifetime collection of around 3,000 specimens that he later housed in a private museum in Horsham in West Sussex, England. <ref> Birds of the World – Chapter on Great Bird Artists IPC magazines 1969 </ref>
In 1901, the Butuan Parochial School was founded by Fr. Saturnino Urios, S.J. and opened its doors to welcome the first pupils. A low building made of bricks adjacent to the old church was built to house the first pupils who trickled in slowly. When the state started asserting its influence and control over public and private schools, the late Fr. Jose Buxo, S.J. was believed responsible for the government recognition of the parochial school. In 1935, the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (MSC - Dutch Congregation) took over the missionary work from the Jesuits. In 1939, the high school was opened.


In 1990, two concrete buildings were constructed in the main campus. The four-story building is where the Engineering and Technology and Nursing classes are held and the two-story faculty center and chapel. A four-story concrete building was constructed in 1997. This is occupied by the high school during the day and the college in the evening. It has 32 classrooms and 15 spaces for laboratories, library and offices. Adjacent to it is a gymnasium, which can accommodate 5,000 to 6,000 persons. Urios College was born small. From its very modest beginnings, the Butuan Parochial School has grown through the years.
== Working Life ==


From the time she turned out her first high school graduates in 1947 and first college graduates in 1955, Urios College is considered one of the leading institutions in Northern Mindanao. Sprawling along streets of J.C. Aquino (formerly Zamora St.), San Francisco, R. D. Calo and Padre Burgos. It boosts of quality education and Christian formation with complete facilities and helps meet the manpower demand of the Northern Mindanao Region. With the creation of the Caraga Region, Urios College faces more challenge being the only catholic academic institution situated in the city of Butuan, which is the administrative seat of the region.
Millais began his career in the army with the Seaforth Highlanders but after six years he resigned to travel the world. His was clearly a wanderlust based on a desire to see record and paint the natural world. To this end he travelled widely in Europe, Africa and North America. In the New World in the 1880s/90s he explored Canada and Newfoundland and helped map uncharted areas of Alaska. Clearly a clubbable and convivial man Millais founded the [[Shikar Club]] in 1909 a dining club where like minded associates could dine and discuss their adventures in Africa. Members included the famous hunters [[Frederick Selous]], the brother of ornithologist [[Edmund Selous]], Arthur Nuemann and the explorer and game hunter [[Frank Wallace]]. The club still survives and includes the [[Duke of Edinburgh]] amongst its members.


During the Great War (1914 – 1918) whilst in his fifties he served in the secret service of the Royal Navy in Norway and in Iceland. In the period immediately after the War J G Millais wrote and published a book on his life and hunting exploits in Africa and Scotland . ‘''Wanderings and Memories’'' chronicled his passion for big game hunting and also his fondness for Scotland of his childhood. There is also contains a chapter from a famous elephant hunter of the day Arthur Neumann who was a close friend. <ref> Wanderings and Memories J G Millais Longmans and Co., London (1919) </ref>. This edition went to several reprints including an American edition renamed ‘''A Sportsman’s Wanderings’'' <ref> A Sportsman’s Wanderings J G Millais Houghton Miffen Company Boston (1920) </ref>
In 1921 he travelled with his son [[Raoul Millais]] to the southern Sudan and mapped for the first time large areas of Bahr al Ghazal, an exploit which led to a book on the Upper Nile <ref> Far Away Up The Nile J G Millais London (1924)</ref>


==Schools and colleges==
== Artistic Career ==
The university is subdivided into the following programs: the Arts and Sciences Program, the College of Law, the Nursing Program, the Business Administration Program, the Teacher's Education Program, the Engineering and Technology Program, the Computer Studies Program, the Accountancy Program, and the Graduate Studies Program. It also includes a complete preschool, elementary and secondary school units which is now in Archbishop Carmelo Morelos Campus at Libertad this city.


===The College units===
Millais’ is one of the most respected of British ornithologists and bird artists <ref> Birds of the World – Chapter on Great Bird Artists IPC magazines 1969 Unattributed quote</ref> producing between 1890 and 1914 a series of books on birds and other natural history subjects. In the study of ornithology he was renowned for his portraiture of wildfowl and game birds, the subjects of his three most famous works: ‘''Natural History of British Feeding Ducks’'';<ref>Natural History of British feeding Ducks J G Millais (1902)</ref> ''‘British Diving Ducks’'';<ref> British Diving Ducks J G Millais (1913) </ref> and ‘''British Game Birds’''. <ref> British Game Birds J G Millais (1909) </ref>


Graduate Studies:
They rank amongst some of the finest work on wildfowl ever published. Each bird receives individual treatment in text and detailed exact chromolithographs , some of which are by his friend and pre eminent bird artist of the day [[Archibald Thorburn]] (1860 – 1935). Each species is represented by two or three individuals on a plate drawn in attitudes of feeding, resting and courtship.


** Doctor in Management
The books are lavish and with just 400 to 600 original editions published are now prized as examples of a certain type of High Victorian grandeur. Millais’ skills are essentially Victorian as private wealth allowed him to indulge on a grand scale his passions. He was undoubtedly tenacious. His son Raoul Millais spoke of him as an ‘astonishing man and his power of concentration was such that once he took up a subject he never left it until he knew more about it than anyone in the World’ <ref> Raoul Millais: his life and work Duff Hart Davis (1998) ISBN 1-85310-977-0 </ref>
** Doctor of Philosophy Education
This tenacity to get a job done to the best of abilities was never better illustrated in his preparations for ''Mammals of Great Britain and Ireland''(1904)<ref> Mammals of Great Britain and Ireland J G Millais Longman, Green & Co., (1904)</ref> where he spent months with the whaling fleet in the Atlantic in order to study first hand a group of mammals that had hitherto received little attention. The work which appeared in a limited print run in 1904 also contains illustrations and chromolithographs by [[George Lodge]] (1860-1954) and Archibald Thorburn.

It therefore, provides the lens by which the students magnify the reality within himself/herself and the eyes by which he/she sees the world around.

In 1901, the Butuan Parochial School was founded by Fr. Saturnino Urios, S.J. and opened its doors to welcome the first pupils. A low building made of bricks adjacent to the old church was built to house the first pupils who trickled in slowly. When the state started asserting its influence and control over public and private schools, the late Fr. Jose Buxo, S.J. was believed responsible for the government recognition of the parochial school. In 1935, the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (MSC - Dutch Congregation) took over the missionary work from the Jesuits. In 1939, the high school was opened.

In 1990, two concrete buildings were constructed in the main campus. The four-story building is where the Engineering and Technology and Nursing classes are held and the two-story faculty center and chapel. A four-story concrete building was constructed in 1997. This is occupied by the high school during the day and the college in the evening. It has 32 classrooms and 15 spaces for laboratories, library and offices. Adjacent to it is a gymnasium, which can accommodate 5,000 to 6,000 persons. Urios College was born small. From its very modest beginnings, the Butuan Parochial School has grown through the years.

From the time she turned out her first high school graduates in 1947 and first college graduates in 1955, Urios College is considered one of the leading institutions in Northern Mindanao.
