Presidents
Rev. John Kerr 1929 - 1940
The fourth president of the college was Rev Patrick Kerr.
Fr. Kerr was the only President of the College to succeed to the Presidency without having been a member of the teaching staff. Fr. Kerr was born in 1890 and ordained in 1914. Fr. Kerr was an army Chaplain along with Fr. William McNeely attached to Irish battalions during the First World War. At the end of the war and after post-graduate studies, he was made a professor of theology in All Hallows College in Dublin. He was a noted Irish scholar combining the literary language with popular idiom in such a way as to make it a lingua franca for people who individually are familiar with one dialect. Fr Kerr took up his post as President, with some reluctance, in January 1930. During his long tenure, the new wing of the school was built. Fr. Kerr was transferred to Cloghaneely parish in 1944 after 14 years as President. He died in April 1956 at the age of 65.
