Study Notes
- The Jesuits were regarded as the best educators in Spain and Europe.
- Upon their return to the Philippines, they were allowed to establish colleges like the Ateneo Municipal in 1865 after applying for subsidies from the City of Manila.
- To enter the Ateneo, candidates had to pass an entrance exam covering Christian doctrine, reading, writing, grammar, and elementary arithmetic.
- Jose initially skipped the entrance exam, celebrating his town's fiesta instead before his father decided to send him to the Ateneo.
- Jose adopted the surname Rizal to avoid association with his brother Paciano, who was under suspicion for his involvement with Father Burgos.
- Paciano found Jose a house in Intramuros, but Jose later moved to a lodging outside the Walled City in Santa Cruz, where he met mestizos fathered by friars.
- The Jesuitical system of instruction at Ateneo was advanced, emphasized physical culture and arts, and included vocational courses in agriculture, commerce, and mechanics.
- The Ateneo aimed to mold students' character and will in accordance with Church precepts, with daily masses and prayers.
- Classes were divided into Roman and Carthaginian Empires, with students competing for dignities like Emperor, Tribune, and Centurion through individual contests.
- A fraternity of Mary and Saint Louis Gonzaga existed for students distinguished in piety and diligence, holding public programs with poems and debates.
- The system fostered a spirit of emulation among Ateneo students.
- Jose's first professor was Fr. Jose Bech, described as a man of high stature, lean body, quick gait, and ascetic features, with an uneven humor, and classmates included Francisco G. Oliva, Joaquin Garrido, and Gonzalo Marzano.
- Jose systematized his work, adhering to a fixed daily program to discipline his will.
- Initially at the bottom of the class, Jose quickly rose to become Emperor within a month and obtained excellent marks in all subjects.
- Excited about his progress, he visited his mother in prison to share the news, but learned of her unfair conviction due to a biased judge connected to the friars.
- In his second year, Jose obtained a medal and again visited his mother in jail before her release three months later.
- Her release influenced his studies positively, leading to prizes in quarterly examinations during his third year.
- During that time, Jose enjoyed reading novels like Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo and The Universal History by Cesar Cantanu.
- The family decided to place Jose as an intern or boarding student in the college for the following years.
- In his fourth year, under professor Fr. Francisco Sanchez, a model of rectitude, Jose studied mathematics, rhetoric, and Greek, earning five medals.
- Jose's aptitude for poetry emerged early and continued to develop.
- An incident demonstrated Jose's independence when he confronted Father Lopez, a friend of his father, who wrongly accused him of copying a poem and Father Lopez later apologized.
- In his fifth year, with professors Frs. Vilaclara and Mineves, Jose studied philosophy, physics, chemistry, and natural history, continuing his devotion to poetry under Father Sanchez's guidance.
- He wrote a short story and a dialogue for the collegians' farewell, finding philosophy and physics interesting, but natural history somewhat less so.
- To compensate for his small stature, Jose engaged in gymnastics and fencing, surprising his family with his swordsmanship after graduation.
- Jose also dedicated time to painting and sculpture, learning from Don Augustin Saez and Filipino artist Romualdo de Jesus.
