gnatius was a man of deep faith and deep curiosity about 'he world. He believed a full education was indeed a search or God's truths in the world. In the words of Fr. Francis Smith, Rector of Santa Clara's Jesuit Community, He didn't think 'he Gospel took people out of the world. He thought the 3ospeI brought you into engagement with the world. The vvorld is God's world: it's not something to be walked away rom. 'he Jesuits today, here at Santa Clara and around the world, carry on in the spirit of Ignatius, taking an active role w the world around them. Undaunted by the world's wjustices, they can be seen as instruments of change in avery corner of the globe - from war-torn Nicaragua to J small university in the heart of the Silicon Valley. lt is ironic 'hat such a traditionally and historically rich community is ound here at the wellspring of tomorrow's technology. Yet 'he Jesuits still believe in the value of a traditional, vell-rounded education. We live in an age of great specialization, where we know more and more about less and less. lt is a real challenge for us just to slow down and get ourselves in a reflective mood because our culture moves at such a pace. Fr. Smith says, A lot of times people think a Jesuit education is an attempt to interject a moral quality to education. But that is just one aspect of it. I think a Jesuit education is an education that looks toward the development of the whole person. To that aim, the Jesuits have projects in the plans to improve Santa Clara. The huge fund drive the Jesuits have begun this year is all aimed at the improvement of the educational opportunities at Santa Clara. Although the amount of money needed would seem staggering to most men, the Jesuits look at it as a necessary goal to reach, in order to improve the University. And the Jesuits have risen to bigger challenges. -Chris Van Hasselt. Jesuits 17
