Professor of rudiments

User:Ergo Sum, what is that? Thanks, Drmies (talk) 23:19, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically, I have no idea. Generally, I believe it was part of the curriculum for younger students in the Ratio Studiorum. Ergo Sum 00:02, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- It's a formal hierarchy: Rudiments (Lower and Upper), then Grammar (Lower, Middle, and Upper), then Humanities, then Rhetoric. It should clarify the meaning that some places renamed "Rudiments" to "Preparatory". (It was also called "Figures" by some others, but that probably doesn't help.) Think "101", if that helps. But since it's secondary school level (vide Georgetown Preparatory School), it's more like "fourth form". Ratio Studiorum should explain this, but currently does not. There are plenty of sources, though.
  That said, the biography (in Donahoe's) that I read said that Brady was "prefect of discipline". I'm not sure which is the more relevant to mention. Think of a "praefectus atrii" as "assistant principal in charge of the dress code and conduct rules", sort of. So Brady taught the introductory level but was also in charge of discpline. Shea 1891, p. 85 has Georgetown's slightly individual take on prefects and Rudiments. For writing this up in general in another article I'd look to other, better, sources on the Jesuit system, though.
