Other editors have included P. J. Connolly S.J.(from 1916 to 1950), Fergus O'Donoghue S.J. (2001–2011)[2] and Bruce Bradley S.J.(2011–2021).[3][4]

Founded in 1912, it was seen as a replacement for The New Ireland Review (1894–1911), and the earlier Lyceum (1887–1894). Among the founders were UCD Professors Thomas A. Finlay SJ (Professor of Philosophy and Economics, who also founded the New Ireland Review and Lyceum) and Timothy Corcoran SJ (Professor of Education). Alfred O’Rahilly, who was training to be a Jesuit, was also instrumental in its founding and contributed many articles to it.[5]
