fonoham 4 I Ignatius knew that the development of the university student into a potential Christian standardbearer would consist primarily in enabling him to acquire, by a process of self-improvement, a well- reasoned Catholic outlook on life. Such an outlook would be founded, in the natural order, on the individual student's posi- . tive understanding of his own human nature and of its relations to fall other beings, it would be based, in the supernatural order, on his scientiHc knowledge of God's revealed truth. To guide the student in the self-acquisition of a well-reasoned Catholic outlook, Ignatius formulated a complete code of liberal education which included a sys- tematic training in the humanities, a com- prehensive understanding of philosophy and the practical arts, and a firm knowl- edge of scientific theology. This code was designed to give the student a means for the effective expression and communication of ideas, a preparation for entrance into the ecclesiastical or civil environment of his choice, and a comprehension of the divinerevelation necessary for giving real significance to all his acquired knowledge. Because Ignatius' concrete object in edu- cation was to produce men who would exert a Christian influence in the particular society in which they live, he insisted that the Jesuit educational system be made adaptable to the changing interests and needs of different eras. If the economic structure of a society requires that men en- gage in occupations which directly serve the material welfare of the members of that society, then the educational system should be equipped adequately to prepare men for such positions. In devising an educational process which was to prepare the university student for entrance into the outside world, Ignatius was careful to provide for the development of the student's personality in such a way that he could take his appropriate place in society with a minimum of adjustment. This formation of the whole manrcapable of adapting himself to his environment has always consisted in the full and harmonious development of the physical and social aspects of his human nature concomitantly with the perfection of the more essential spiritual and individual aspects of that nature.
