! L-955 gg N the ageless march of the centuries through time and I J. history, there have been great men and great events. But not all fy' these have had the noble qualities that would enable them to resist the slow corrosion M the passing years. Some have shone briejly onb' to become lusterless under the accumulation of the centuries. Others have come down to us with their glory undimmed, the princebf gy? ey' the past to the present. The men and events which are now visible to us in the long per- spective cy' history have all had an injiuence that retains its signiicance in this day. This influence may have been enlarged by future achieve- ment, as the circle in water widens. But these concentric markings that roll endlessly against the shores Q' time have all had their origin in a central source. Perhaps it is for this reason that in a present day we commemorate these men and their achievements, evaluating the gfts they bestowed upon us. 1940 marks three ofthese anniversaries Q' achievement. The jirst commemo- rates thc Spanish prince, Ignatius of Loyola, who was the founder andjirst leader J the Society cyf ffesus. The second anniversary, separated from the first by three centuries, marks the first centennial of dentistry in this country. The third, later still by half a century, is the catalyst that unites the name Loyola with the practice M dentistry through the celebration of the founding W' the Chicago College Q' Dental Surgery, Dental School fy' Loyola University. THE 400th ANNIVERSARY OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS 11 few months before Christopher Columbus saw the green shores cy' the iNe-w klforld, Ignatius fy' Loyola was born in the small province of Guipuzcoa in Spain. Descendant of a noble famibf, he became a page at the court of Ferdinand and Isabella who were shortly to make possible the discovery W' the New World. Later Ignatius became a soldier and was severely wounded at the French attack on Pamplona. fifter a long convalescence during which he had given nzany hours to the thought Q' spiritual ly'e, this Spanish knight renounced his career as a soldier, gave away his possessions and adopted a lQ'e Q' the utmost severity in the service of the sick and the poor. He gathered about him a few followers and, on September 27, 1540, this small band was recognized by Pope Paul III as the Society ey' Yesus whose members are more popularly known as ffesuits.

A s a religious order the Society qffesus belongs to that larger form W' religious lye which has characterized the activity of the Catholic Church from its earlv days. Specyicallv, the Yesuitsform an order cy' priests organized for apostolic work, following a faced spiritual rule and depending for their material support on alms and free will oferings. It may be said that the spirit of the 7esuit Order is a military spirit because its founder was a Spanish knight with the training appropriate in the Middle Ages to that station. As a knight he had been bred in the ideals of chivalnv which denoted two main virtues: an intense loyalty to the person of the leader and an unflinching bravery against the foe. .fit first Ignatius in Loyola wished to call his organization the Company cy' jesus , perhaps because that term remained with him from his military career but more lilzebv because the members cy' this company were to give unfailing loyalty to their Leader and to be His companions in the battles they would wage against His enemies. Through the vows which Yesuits take as members of a religious order, they pledge themselves to copy the character Q' their Leader, to adopt His principles and to judge by His standards. .fftjirst it had been the plan q' Ignatius of Loyola to go with his nine com- panions to the Holy Land, there to labor for the spiritual weyare of the people. Thwarted in this plan, he and his followers put themselves at the disposal cy' the Pope to do his bidding in any critical situation thus becoming soldiers for the defense and propagation of the Faith. I Under the spell cj these lefty ideals Ignatius drew up with the authorization of the Pope a body cy' rules and a constitution that were to give form and direction to the new religious order. This was four 4 centuries ago. The form of government in the Society is a consti- 1 tutional monarchy. The chief commander is elected for life in his Qfice Q' General qt the Order. The supreme legislative assem- blv in the Society is the General Congregation which is summoned by the General when needed or by the Vicar-General in the case of the death of the General when a new one is to be elected. Membership in this General Congregation is drawn from the dnferent provinces cj the Society through local elections of delegates. To this day the constitutions of the early Society remain substantially un- changed. The membership of the new order grew rapidb' and inaugurated 0 I 0 Q0 .
