    I picked up this postcard on eBay. My wife has several of these old coloured postcards of Negros so I got this one for her collection. Don't have any information other than it is a school in Dumaguete, it's unused (pretty impressive for a school during that era - that's why I'm wondering if it's actually Silliman). Judging by the architecture it looks like part of Silliman Hall - but I don't know enough to say for sure..It definitely is from the period 1900-1920 judging by the style and comparision with others we have..Any expert opinions on whether it is that world famous university at its infancy? Thanks!:smile:
