...anniversary of the confirmation of the Constitution of the Society of Jesus, founded by Ignatius Loyola. To commemorate the event, Baltimore's Loyola College last week presented-for the first time in English-a play written by a Jesuit and first produced 331 years ago. The Cenodoxus of Jacob Bidermann, once a great hit, gradually dropped out of sight. But in recent years it has been brilliantly revived in Vienna, Prague, Salzburg, Munich...
