Introduction

The mission of the Jesuits is to place ‘great emphasis on forming “people for others”. Students are engaged in the process of exploring the distinctive and constructive ways in which their knowledge and talents will best serve society’ (AJCU, 2021). In other words, the Jesuits’ goal of higher education is to nourish students to help others and to make this world a better place to live beyond the boundaries of nations. Similarly, Cardinal John Henry Newman, an impactful Catholic educator in the 19th Century, argued in his most after-sought book, the Idea of a University (Newman, 2008), the aim of a university is to create a true academic community where scholars and students can interact and learn knowledge from each other. I argue that Newman's ideal aims of a university have been achieved by the Jesuit universities with regard to universal knowledge and liberal education. On the contrary, the unique goal of Jesuit higher education on "becoming men and women for others" in the Asian context is essential, but it was not mentioned by Newman.
