The efforts of the Society of Jesus in the field of education seem to be frequently highlighted as one of their defining characteristics. Why are they noteworthy compared to those taken by other religious congregations? Are there any good books on the subject of Jesuit education?
If there is a rise of ₹10 to ₹300 for room rent. Would this mean that inflation has hit 30 times the standard for educational institutions. Or would this mean that the price for all institutions would rise eventually as they would now start pegging the price as per the ratio at JNU. Like example after a year another University looks at its prices and says JNU did a 30x increase, so we are doing the same to adjust to market economy. What is there to stop other universities from increasing their price?
I need to get a signature and a stamp for a scholarship document.
For all the Institute students from Red Rising, we know what houses they belonged to. We can surmise that Lorn and Fitchner were both in House Mars due to their presence at the draft, and it's mentioned in Golden Son that Victra was in House Jupiter.But is there a list for what Institute Houses the other major characters belonged to? For example, what houses were Octavia, Nero, Aja, the Telemanuses, etc. were in?
I have read accounts of academics moving between European universities during the course of their careers, sometimes for political reasons, sometimes by invitation of a powerful patron or monarch. Do we have any accounts of how they were received? Was it seen as a coup to secure the services of a prominent thinker of the time? Or was there resentment among local scholars at the importing of a big name from elsewhere? Do we have evidence that people saw the benefits of bringing new and fresh perspectives to academic work (as we might nowadays)?
Thank you in advance.
" Jesuit universities get millions in donations from alumni, others

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Two Jesuit-run Catholic universities have received the largest philanthropic gifts in their history, while a third has been given $8 million by the owners of the New Orleans Saints football franchise.
Georgetown University in Washington received an $87 million endowment to support medical research at its medical center, while businessman and Fordham University alumnus Mario J. Gabelli donated $25 million to the New York school to expand student scholarships and faculty chairs and to create a new Center of Global Investment Analysis.
The $8 million gift to Loyola University New Orleans from the Gayle & Tom Benson Charitable Foundation, run by the Saints owners, will be used to renovate a former library building to house the Tom Benson Jesuit Center and a chapel.
The Georgetown endowment originated in a $1.2 million charitable trust established by the will of the late Harry J. Toulmin in 1965. His widow, Virginia, managed the trust for the next 45 years and grew it to its current value. She died June 13 at age 84.
The gift will fund the Warwick Evans and Mary Mason Washington Evans Medical Research Endowment in honor of Harry Toulmin's grandparents. Warwick Evans was the first graduate of Georgetown's School of Medicine in 1852 and went on to become a professor of anatomy there.
"Harry really worshipped his grandfather, who was this great man -- successful physician and prominent Washington figure," said Virginia Toulmin in 1997. "Harry was a strong believer in educational institutions, and even though he didn't graduate from Georgetown, Harry loved his grandfather and his grandfather loved Georgetown."
Previously, the largest gift given to Georgetown was $75 million in 2008 from the estate of Robert J. McDevitt, a 1940 Georgetown graduate, which is being used to endow faculty positions across the university.
Gabelli, a second-generation American and the first in his family to attend college, graduated summa cum laude in 1965 from Fordham's College of Business Administration, which wi
