This document, the 2005 Portal, serves as a primary record of Silliman University during its 104th year. Written in the third person, the yearbook captures the university’s growth and institutional character during a period of modernization in the mid-2000s. As a landmark institution in Dumaguete City, the 2005 volume reflects the diverse academic, spiritual, and cultural activities that define the "Sillimanian" identity. The 2005 edition is historically significant as it documents the university's continued leadership in various fields, particularly in Nursing, Divinity, and the Performing Arts. It preserves the legacies of the graduating class of 2005, detailing their involvement in campus organizations and community service. The document reinforces the university's enduring commitment to the motto Via, Veritas, Vita (The Way, The Truth, and The Life) and serves as a vital ethnographic record of campus life in the Philippines at the midpoint of the decade.
