F\u00e9lix Martin, S.J. The College was intended to be a modern Montreal version of the famous Jesuit College, founded in Quebec City in 1635, which had introduced the renowned cours classique (Classical Studies) to New France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ratio Studiorum, the Jesuit educational system, goes back to the days of Saint Ignatius Loyola. It aimed to educate the whole person: not only mind but also the integrity and good health of both body and soul&#8211;all this to help the student live his life \u201cfor the greater glory of God.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<p>This Jesuit curriculum relied on the classical literature of ancient Greece and Rome as well as on the pedagogical practices arising out of the Christian humanism of the Renaissance. In 1840, the Ratio was up-dated for the 19th century just before the return of the Jesuits to Canada in 1842.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ratio imposed quality time devoted to team sports and to the development of public speaking\u2014as much, in fact, as to religious practice. By the early 1860s, the need became obvious both for a larger chapel and a larger academic hall or theatre. The Church of the Ges\u00f9 was ready for Christmas 1865, and the 300-seat Theatre Auditorium a year later in 1866.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":116,"template":"","meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.10 -
