[24] See VOL. XXXIV, pp. 366, 367. This refers rather to what became known afterward as the San Ignacio college than to the college of San José. Of the so-called Jesuit college of Manila, known as Colegio Máximo [i.e., Chief college] de San Ignacio y el real de San José, Archipiélago Filipino says (i. p. 346): "In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries there also existed in Manila the university directed by the fathers of the Society of Jesus, who had arrived in Filipinas for the first time in 1581. It was elevated to a pontifical institution by a bull of Gregory XV in 1621, and given the title of "royal" by royal decrees of Felipe IV the same year, and in 1653. It conferred degrees on the pupils of the colleges of San Ignacio and San José; and there was also in it, in addition to the school for reading and writing, two chairs of theology, one of philosophy, one of rhetoric and the Latin language, one of canons, another of civil law, and from 1740, one of mathematics. It existed until May 21, 1768, when the Jesuits were expelled from these islands by a royal decree of Carlos III, which placed the edifice and the furnishings at the disposal of the State."
