At the corner of University Avenue and C. P. Garcia and on the other side of University Avenue two large sculptures of concrete form a symbolic portal to the Campus. Tribute to Higher Education shows disciplines at UP Diliman.

>>> Awarded the National Artist for Visual Arts (Sculpture) in 1976, Napoleon Abueva, is among the foremost Modernist artists in the country. He often experimented with various materials but admitted that he was happiest working with wood. Having served as Dean of the U.P. College of Fine Arts his artworks form a large part of the sculpture collection of the University. His Tribute to Higher Education, which was completed in 1966, are two large concrete sculptures flanking the University Avenue and serve as portals to the Diliman campus. On its surface are symbols representing the various disciplines being offered by the University and images derived from Philippine folklore all in bas relief. Bas relief or low relief is a sculptural technique where the image only projects slightly from the base. (sculptour.wordpress.com/)
