      The author discusses Clavius' crucial role in the fight against the Aristotelian view that mathematics was inferior to natural philosophy. In the end the Company accepted mathematics as a central subject in the Jesuit colleges. The paper contains the text of the \textit{Ordo Servandus in Addiscendis Disciplinis Mathematicis}, written by Clavius.
