1586A draft of the lst Ratio Studiorum is sent by Claudio Acquaviva to all Provinces.

1665At Bordeaux the death of Fr. John Surin, who entered the Society at the age of 15. He was a man of great sanctity and venerated after death as a saint. For 20 years he was cruelly tormented by evil spirits, after exorcizing certain Religious in a convent at Loudon.
1926Letter of Fr. General Ledochowski De Usu Machinae Photographicae. Cameras should belong to the house, not the individual. They are not to be for recreation or time spent on trifles rather than for the greater glory of God.
