Right Rev. William Burns (Arts class of 1923) enjoyed a distinguished career as Vicar General to the diocese's Bishop (exercising executive powers) from ca. 1942-1959. He also served on Saint Mary's Senate and as Vice Chancellor ca. 1951-1959. As of 2017, it is not possible to pinpoint these dates more accurately.
Gerald A. Hayes attended Saint Mary's from 1916-1923. He is the founder and first editor for St. Mary's "Tatler" in 1922. He continued on to be the Alumni editor of the Collegian as well as the secretary and president of the alumni. In 1935 he was appointed to the Senate of the college where he was the youngest member to be elected. Additionally Hayes was the coach for the intercollegiate hockey and rugby teams, leading both teams to numerous championships. Hayes obituary found on page 66 of the 1935 Collegian.
