To consult a graphic representation of how this educational Order looked on the map of the world, one may glance into the ninth volume of the _Monumenta Germaniæ Pædagogica_. There Father Pachtler, as in his other volumes of the series, sketches only the German "Assistency" of the Society of Jesus. The five Assistencies of the Order served the purposes of government, by grouping many Provinces together into larger divisions. In 1725, the German Assistency comprised nine out of thirty-two Provinces. The nine in question are those of Flandro-Belgium, French Belgium, the Lower Rhine, the Upper Rhine, Upper Germany, Bohemia, Austria, Poland, Lithuania. The map at the end of Father Pachtler's volume represents all this country, with the towns marked differently, according as they contained either universities of the Order, or colleges, or _convictus_, that is, boarding-colleges, or seminaries, or residences. The chronological order of their rise is presented in a table at the beginning of the same volume, with a note to indicate more in particular the grade or amplitude of each, as being a _Studium Generale_, otherwise called University or Academy, a College or a Gymnasium, as well as the annexes of each, in the shape of one or more _convictus_, one or more Episcopal or Papal Seminaries, a college of nobles, a _convictus_ for poor scholars. By means of this map, a graphic presentation is afforded of one Assistency, from which, by a proper extension, the whole world may be portrayed to the imagination. In 1750, within the limits of this map, there were 217 colleges, 55 seminaries, 73 residences, 24 novitiates, 160 missions, 6 professed houses.[53] The universities here spoken of, otherwise called _Studia Generalia_, or Academies, are quite typical, a special Jesuit development of the mediæval style. An exact and official form, drawn up for the University of Gratz, may be found in the same _Monumenta_.[54] As Father Pachtler remarks, it shows at a glance the inner working of a Jesuit university, and the general system prevailing over the whole Society. He entitles the document: "_Ordnung einer ausschlieschlich von Jesuiten geleiteten Universität_," or "_Einer selbständige Universität, 1658_." The Latin title is: "_Forma et Ratio Gubernandi Academias et Studia Generalia S. J._" It was the compilation of Father John Argento.
