- Even though the intellectual life ought to flourish in every convent, there should be centres where the brothers can devote themselves more especially to study.
- A centre of studies in the Order is a community of brothers who devote themselves resolutely to study full time. It shall have at least three brothers with the necessary qualifications; an adequate library and other facilities, and stable economic resources.
- A centre can be part of another community, namely a conventual community. It may also include brothers from other convents.
- The rights and obligations of each centre of studies of a province, as well as the manner in which it is governed, are to be included in the province’s Ratio Studiorum Particularis, and be approved along with it.
- The Order’s centres of study should maintain a truly scientific standard, and keep in touch with similar institutions and with the university world of the region.
