        History

        Loyola College of Montreal opened in 1896, as an English-language branch of the francophone Jesuit classical college Collège Ste-Marie. Loyola College was officially incorporated by an Act of the Quebec Legislature on February 2, 1899.

        The highest administrative officer, the President or Rector was responsible for the operations of Loyola College. He served as Chairman of the Senate and Vice-Chairman of the Board of Governors, and implemented their policies. He was a member ex-officio of all Board committees. The appointment of the President was made by the Provincial Superior of the Upper Canadian (English-Canadian) Province of the Jesuits, following consultation with the College community. The term was normally three years.

        The Presidents and Rectors of Loyola College were:

        Gregory O'Bryan, S.J., President, August 15, 1896 to July 4, 1899
        William Doherty, S.J., President, July 4, 1899 to October 27, 1899
        Gregory O'Bryan, S.J., President, October 27, 1899 to June 23, 1901

        Alexander A. Gagnieur, S.J., Rector, August 10, 1907 to May 4, 1913
        Thomas McMahon, S.J., Rector, May 4, 1913 to August 5, 1917
        Alexander A.Gagnieur, S.J., Rector, August 5, 1917 to March 1, 1918

        William H. Hingston, S.J. , Rector, July 1, 1918 to July 31, 1925
        Erle Gladstone Bartlett, S.J.. Rector, July 31, 1925 to August 9, 1930
        Thomas J. MacMahon, S.J., Rector, August 9, 1930 to July 15, 1935
        Hugh C. McCarthy, S.J., Rector, July 15, 1935 to July 11, 1940
        Edward M. Brown, S.J., Rector, July 11, 1940 to July 4, 1948
        John F. McCaffrey, S.J., Rector, July 4, 1948 to June 17, 1954
        Gerald F. Lahey, S.J., Rector, June 17, 1954 to August 15, 1959
        Patrick G. Malone, S.J., President, August 15, 1959 to August 16, 1974.

        Patrick G. Malone, S.J., was Rector and President of Loyola College, Montreal, during its greatest period of growth and innovation. In August 1959 he was appointed 13th Rector of Loyola College. The college was all-male, with an enrolment of under 800. Two years later the doors of the institution opened to women, and during the next 13 years Malone was the driving force behind an ambitious program of development. Funds were raised for new buildings, additional qualified teaching staff, more sophisticated teaching tools, and greatly expanded curricula. Although Malone was unable to win Loyola an independent university charter, at the time of his resignation in July 1974 the college had an enrolment of 13,000. Following the 1974 merger of Loyola College with Sir George Williams University to form Concordia University, the Office of the President evolved into the Office of the Principal / Rector of Concordia University.
