mi gy COLLEGE OF HRT5 HDD SCIENCES Rev. MaTThias B. Marfin, S.J., assisTanT dean of The College of ArTs and Sciences: Rev. Wilfred M. Mallon, S.J., dean. FGUNDED I8I8. 0 NE THING sTands ouT clearly in The educaTional picTure during pracTically The whole Renaissance period. There was slighT arTiculaTion beTween The prepara- Tory or secondary school and The universiTy. The beTTer Type oT Renaissance schools . . . TaughT noT merely grammar and rheToric. buT invaded The universiTy domain and included philosophy in Their curriculum. OTher schools wiTh less compeTenT Teachers . . . only wanTed To equip The sTudenTs wiTh a modicum oT whaT mighT be called 'business LaTin,' ThaT would admiT Them To The universiTy. And The more con- servaTive proTessors in The universiTies cared liTTle wheTher The sTudenTs admiTTed To The faczlltas cz1'fi,s'tlca had masTered The aries tfrivlales ThaT should precede dialecTic. Now here can be seen The conscious JesuiT inTluence on The paTTern oT higher educaTion. The JesuiTs in Their universiTies did noT change The curriculum oT The course oT arTsg The Three-year curriculum embraced Logic, ArisToTle's Physica, and MeTaphysica. The JesuiTs did noT deThrone philosophy Trom iTs place oT eminence in The faczzltavs artlsticcz. BUT consisTenTly and Tenaciously They insisTed ThaT no sTudenT should be admiTTed To universiTy sTudy who had noT compleTed his Training in grammar and rheToric. 'None oT our sTudenTs shall pass on To philosophy unTil he has spenT Two years in rheToric.' All universiTies under The care oT The JesuiTs insisTed on This rule. A graded educaTion in The liberal arTs. The enleiliklzios paideia oT The ancienTs, was aT lasT realized, noT in an isolaTed insTance or Tor a limiTed period oT Time, buT in all Their schools and universiTies ThroughouT Their hisTory.
