Published in 1922, this work serves as a primary account of the administration of Francis Burton Harrison, who served as the Governor-General of the Philippines from 1913 to 1921. Harrison is most notable for his advocacy of "Filipinization," a policy aimed at transferring administrative control and civil service positions from Americans to Filipinos to prepare the nation for self-governance. The presence of the Silliman University Library stamp indicates that this specific volume is part of the historical archives of Silliman University in Dumaguete City. Founded in 1901 during the early years of the American occupation, the university's possession of this text highlights its role as a long-standing intellectual hub and a witness to the evolving political landscape of the Philippines during the 20th century. The book remains a vital resource for understanding the transition from colonial rule toward the independence movement.
