Based on an unpublished manuscript of two thick volumes dated 1600 and 1633 entitled «History of the Complutense College of the Society of Jesus» this article analyses the fact that, between the years 1543 and 1633 an extraordinary number of vocations, namely 1190, applied for admission to the Society of Jesus just founded in the already mentioned city of Alcalá, mostly students from the young and open-minded University Complutense, in spite of the fact that the stereotype idea was that the students in those times and in that city were not particularly pious and devotee. The relations between the above mentioned university and the Society of Jesus in general terms, are also dealt with.
