VILNIAUS AKADEMIJOS REKTORIAI (1569)-1579-1773

savo įpėdiniui bus perdavęs apie 1600 m. sausio mėnesį. Tai maždaug

sutinka ir su žiniomis apie P. Bokšos rektoriavimo pradžią. 169

c. Rektoriaus veikla. - Naujasis rektorius vilniečiams buvo gerai

pažįstamas, nes prieš tai beveik 20 metų jis dirbo Akademijoje kaip humanitarinių

klasių, filosofijos bei teologijos profesorius. Apie jį, kaip

rektorių, buvo gerai atsiliepiama. Pvz., provincijolas net pripažįsta, kad

„rektorius eina savo pareigas geriau, negu buvo tikėtasi, puikiausiai

visuose dalykuose“; 170 ir sekančiais metais: „jo valdymu esu labai patenkintas“.

171 Žinoma, kartais minimi ir trūkumai: jis stokojąs 'gracijos’

elgesyje su kilmingaisiais 172 (mat buvo ne bajoras, o miestietis); Akademijoje

gyveną jėzuitai kentę nepriteklių, negaudavę pakankamų išsilaikymui

pajamų. Bet čia buvę kalti ir ekonomai, nesugebėję tinkamai

tvarkyti turimų valdų. 173 Buvo taip pat nusiskundimų dėl rektoriaus

griežtumo, bet tai daugiausia iš tų, kurie mėgo per didelę laisvę. 174

Studentų Akademijoje ir šiuo metu buvo iš viso apie 800. 175 Tarp

Akademijos profesorių ir kitų ten esančių jėzuitų tais metais vyko gan

170 B. Confalonieris laiške iš Vilniaus į Romą 1596 IV 1: „Collegium est

valde quietum, et, quod omnes fere antiquiores Patres mihi retulerunt, P. Rector

satisfacit supra expectationem et optime omnia“, ARSI, Germ. 176, fol. 147r.

171 B. Confalonieris laiške iš Vilniaus į Romą 1597 IV 12: „P. Rector aliquibus

videtur durior et exactus nimis in Regularum observatione, sed ego

adverti ipsos subditos magis libertatem appetere. Itaque sum de illius gubernatione

valde contentus“, ARSI, Germ. 177, fol. 149r.

172 M. Smigleckis laiške t. Generolui iš Vilniaus 1596 I 27: „P. Leonardum

Krakierum, Rectorem novum, speramus bene gubernaturum, quamvis quoad

externos, praesertim Magnificos, cum quibus hic est frequens conversatio, non

videatur magnam habere authoritatem et gratiam agendi“, ARSI, Germ. 176,

fol. 32r.

173 Tame pačiame laiške: „Illud unum communi voce queruntur, miseram

esse victus rationem, quod ipsi etiam Superiores agnoscunt. Causa huius rei

est mala oeconomica nostrorum“, ten pat, fol. 32r.
