2 LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW ҚПП Ш ( | ШЕ dd THE NEW GENERAL OF ug GHEY SOCIETY ‘OF JESUS nnn On the 11th of February, the Very Reverend Wlodimir Ledochowski was elected 26th General of the Society of Jesus. The New General is exceptionally young for the position, being only forty-eight; he is the youngest, in fact, but three, of the twenty-six eminent men who have been called to the Generalate of the Society. In the previous Congregation, eight years ago, he received an appreciable number of the votes, which proves that even then the mem- bers of the Order were impressed by his virtue and ability. During these times of international conflict Father Ledochowski will assuredly find ample scope for the exercise of his brilliant qualities. It is our filial duty and our pleasure to offer the New General our sincere and respectful homage, and to wish him a long and successful term: of office. | The meeting of the Jesuits for the election of their General could not fail to attract the attention of the Press, and of the public through the Press. The serious divisions in Europe arising from the war made the meeting of unusual interest, it was taken for granted that in such a cosmopolitan body as are the Jesuits, contentions and political intrigues would certainly exist. Correspondents are not always fettered by an accurate knowledge of facts, and the public were presented with what perhaps the public expected and desired, that is, a bold diagnosis of the motives and policy of different groups in the Congregation. The fact that the New General had been Assistant of Germany afforded some journalists a sufficient reason for giving a political complexion to the event, and the result of the election was termed a triumph for Germany. The facts, however, form a very simple story. The election was un- usually speedy, and the New General received a substantial majority of the votes. There were no intrigues, there was nothing in fact to support or even suggest an exciting journalistic report. The members met quietly, consulted together harmoniously, voted conscientiously without any reference to nation- ality for the one whom they judged best fitted to discharge the duties of Head of the Order, and received the result with perfect submission. Then they re- turned each to his own country, to continue their work under the direction of the New General. The Assistancy of Germany at the time of the election included the Austrian, Belgian, Galician, Dutch, Hungarian Provinces, as well as the German Province. Why not call the result a triumph for Belgium? Father Ledochowski is by actual birth a Pole from Austrian Galicia, and was born at Loosdorf on October 7th, 1866. Ву immediate descent he belongs to Russia, whence two generations ago his family were exiled. Their adopted nation has found in them staunch and loyal sons. The uncle of the General, Cardinal Ledochowski, is famous for his championship of that nation's rights against those who aimed at destroying its language and national spirit.
