| | Timothy Valentine - Moral Education and Inspiration Through Theatre |
 | | The Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuit order, was founded by Saint Ignatius Loyola in 1534, with the dual purpose of promoting reform within the Roman Catholic Church, and preaching the Gospel in foreign lands. |
 | | Jesuit education, in general, is intended to help students attain "perfect eloquence," i.e., the cultivation of one's intellectual, ethical, and spiritual potential. |
 | | The Exercises are designed to bring about a transformation of the will, wherein the efforts of the exercitant are directed at achieving the "greater good." From an ethical perspective, this means exercising the proper attitude toward, and use of, all things. |
