 In 1585 he was made rector of the Jesuit College of Ingolstadt, and in this capacity became a member of the German commission which tested in practice the first draft of the Ratio Studiorum.At length, having spent thirty years at the head of three of the foremost colleges of Germany, he was sent to Lucerne in Switzerland to enjoy a period of rest; but soon again, at the age of sixty-three, he had to undertake the government of the college of Ingolstadt.Two years later, on the advice of his physician, he was relieved of the burden and allowed to return to Lucerne.
