Presidents
Rev. Michael Ward 1910 - 1919
The second president of the college was Rev. Michael Ward.
Fr. Michael Ward was born in 1877 and ordained at Maynooth College in 1901. He was appointed to the new college at its inception in 1906. He was an energetic and
meticulous individual with a keen eye for the details of the system in his charge. He succeeded Dr. Maguire as President in 1910, the youngest man ever to hold the office. Statistics published during the period of his presidency suggest that the College held its own among the Diocesan schools of the northern province by way of success and consistency of achievement. Fr. Ward was president during the first gradual growth in numbers helped by the provision of generous scholarships. Fr. Ward was president for nine years before his untimely death at the age of 41 in July of 1919.
