	With the National Center Building at the east side, the UP Sundial will be at the middle of the engineering complex in Diliman. The sundial and the UP Alumni Engineers are the tangible manifestations of Engineering alumni regard and loyalty to their Alma Mater.

	In the early days of the University, a floral sundial stood by the corner of Taft Avenue and Padre Faura streets in the 1920's. When the old Villamor Hall (now the Supreme Court Building) was constructed, a new and much larger one was built in the middle of the ~~Ermita Campus. <ref>''UPAE 1980 Yearbook and Alumni Directory, UPAE,~~ College of Engineering, ~~UP Diliman, Quezon City~~.~~''</ref>~~		The UP sundial’s history is closely linked with that of the College of Engineering, for wherever the college
			went a sundial followed.

	It was ~~designed by Edward R~~. ~~Hyde, an American Civil Engineer~~ and the ~~dean~~ of the ~~College~~ of ~~Engineering that time~~, ~~with~~ the ~~collaboration~~ of ~~Professors Alejandro Melchor and E. P. Angeles.[http://www.engg.upd.edu.ph/history2~~.~~html]~~		The first site for the college was a residential house of the O’Brien family in Ermita. On September 1910 it moved to where the Philamlife building currently stands. They had a small sundial then at the corner of Taft and Padre Faura but upon moving in 1930 to Maria E. Orosa now the current building of the Court of Appeals, a much larger sundial was built. This was in the middle of the Ermita campus.

	The ~~Sundial~~ was at the ~~time considered one~~ of the ~~largest~~ sundial ~~in the whole world~~ with ~~steel arches~~ and a gnomon ~~60 feet long~~. It was ~~bedecked with flowering vines and~~ the ~~surroundings were abloom with flowering shrubs making a very romantic ambiance~~.		The dean of the College at that time was Edward R. Hyde. He had first come to the college in 1920. Mr. Hyde was an American civil engineer who had previously taught at West Point. Aside from being the Dean Mr. E. R. Hyde is also attributed to the designing of the engineering building and the huge sundial which was bedecked with flowering vines and had a gnomon of 60ft in length. Professors Alejandro Melchor and E.P. Angeles, were said to be seen tramping across the campus to inspect the construction of the sundial project which the three of them collaborated in designing. It was said to be one of the largest sundials of its time. However, it was torn down during the commonwealth era to to provide more space for military training which was emphasized at the time.

	However, it was ~~sadly~~ torn down ~~the following decade~~ during the commonwealth era to ~~give way for the ROTC Parade grounds~~ to provide more space for military training which was emphasized at the time.

	When the seat of the UP System transferred to the Diliman Campus, several alumni engineers built a testament of loyalty to their Alma Mater in the form of a giant sundial. The UP Alumni Engineers (UPAE) of 1957 built the UP Sundial on the front lawn of Melchor Hall, to the west side by the corner of Osmena and Roces Avenues in 1958.
