Canisius College in Buffalo is a Jesuit college, obviously named for St. Peter Canisius.

I had never thought about Faber College, featured in the movie Animal House, but it must be named for St. Peter Faber. Somehow I don't recall anything about it being a Jesuit college in the movie. Yes, they did have toga parties, but the Romans had quit wearing togas long before the Jesuit order was started.

Animal House was about one of the co-writers college years at Dartmouth. Nothing to suggest that he was going for Jesuit in the script. The fictional Faber was supposedly located in Pennsylvania. The film was shot on the campus of the University of Oregon, the only school that would agree to give permission.
