Appreciation
- Anderledy's term is characterized by its brevity, coming as it does after his immediate predecessors' long terms of office. He had to run the Society also from a situation of exile: his headquarter (Curia Generalizia) was at Fiesole (Firenze) and not Rome. This caused much inconveniences to his government.
- In his handling of the Jesuits he was known for great firmness of character. He showed also a modern interest in scientific studies in Jesuit schools.
- In spite of very difficult circumstances - at one point all Jesuit schools of France and Italy were confiscated and their staff sent into exile - the number of members of the Society continued to increase: from 11481 when he was elected, to 13275 in 1892.

Famous quotes containing the word appreciation:
“The aim of life is appreciation; there is no sense in not appreciating things; and there is no sense in having more of them if you have less appreciation of them.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The chief misery of the decline of the faculties, and a main cause of the irritability that often goes with it, is evidently the isolation, the lack of customary appreciation and influence, which only the rarest tact and thoughtfulness on the part of others can alleviate.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“The effect of having other interests beyond those domestic works well. The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one’s appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.”
—Amelia Earhart (1897–1937)
