This document, the 2004 Portal, serves as a primary record of Silliman University during its 103rd year of operation. Written in the third person, the yearbook documents the university's progress as it solidified its new century of service following the 2001 centennial. As an institution based in Dumaguete City, the 2004 volume highlights the academic milestones and communal life of the "Sillimanian" during a year of significant national and global shifts. The 2004 edition is historically relevant as it preserves the transition of the university into a more technologically integrated era, capturing the evolution of student organizations, athletics, and cultural performances at the Luce Auditorium. It documents the leadership of the administration and the diverse achievements of the graduating class of 2004, reinforcing the university's enduring mission of Via, Veritas, Vita (The Way, The Truth, and The Life) and its role as a premier center of higher education in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
