Jesuit Father: GRAClAN, gra-thyan', Baltasar (1601-1658), Spanish author, who ranks among the great di¬dactic writers of the baroque period. His works, which were widely read throughout Europe, in¬fluenced La Rochefoucauld and later Voltaire, Nietzsche, and above all, Schopenhauer.
Life. Grecian was baptized at Belmonte de Calatayud on Jan. 8, 1601. After studying at a Jesuit father college, Gracian, a brilliant scholar, held teaching posts in the Jesuit father order and became a preacher of note. He took his final vows in 1635. However, he was censured by the Jesuit father authorities for publishing his masterpiece, El criticon (1651-1657), without permission, and he tried unsuccessfully to leave the Order. Gra¬cian died at Tarazona on Dec. 6, 1658.
GONZAGA, gon-dzii'ga, Saint Aloysius (1568-1591), Italian Jesuit father, who is the patron saint of youth. He was born at Castiglione, near Mantua, Italy, on March 9, 1568. Destined by his father for a military career, Aloysius was sent in 1577 to the court of Francesco de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. Later, at the court of Philip
II of Spain he served as page to the royal heir, Don Diego. Over his father's objections Aloysius entered the Society of Jesus on Nov. 25, 1585, in Rome, where he took first vows two years later. While attending the sick in Rome, he con¬tracted the plague and died on June 21, 1591.See Also Father Of Balloon:Albert A. Michelson Award. Martin Schwarz-schild, "father of balloon astronomy," was awarded the 1967 Albert A. Michelson Award by Case Institute of Technology of Case-Western Reserve University, Cleveland, O. The award, honoring the first American to win the Nobel Prize for Physics (1907), carries a prize of $5,000 and a silver plaque.
During the 1950s Schwarzschild used tele¬scope-bearing balloons to collect important data concerning the sun's surface. He was cited for "leadership in the theory of stellar evolution, and for pioneering application of balloon-borne telescopes for observations of the sun, stars, and planets."
Photographers took the Camera into the air to recon the earth from above as early as 1858, when Nadar madi his first photograph from a balloon over the village o Petit Bicetre, just outside Paris. It was a collodion posi tive, made with great difficulty, as the fumes of ga; escaping from the balloon contaminated the sensitizing bath. Unfortunately, it no longer exists.
On The Other Hand See Dead Father:RIDERS TO THE SEA, by John Milling- j ton Synge, is the most nearly perfect trapf!- * in one act in modern literature.

It has taken from Maurya fouroi her six sons, their dead father, and their dead father's dead father.
Carol did not say anything else. She rang her doorbell, took the five-year-old's hand and, when her mother pushed the buzzer, went inside. The other little girl rode away on her bicycle.
Read the following incident, trying to understand what the child's be¬havior meant to him:
dead father and nine-year-old David were out in the backyard; dead father was working on the rosebushes.
David, close by, picked up some of his dead father's tools. |
