...black-cassocked, shovel-hatted leader. Rev. Spence Burton, Superior General of the Society since 1924, had resigned to accept the suffragan bishopric of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Elected to succeed him was Rev. Granville Mercer Williams, handsome onetime metallurgical engineer. Last week Father Williams resigned a rectorship which he and his assistant Cowley Fathers had made noteworthy for nine years: St. Mary the Virgin in Manhattan...
When the late Dr. Samuel Smith Drury was Rector of St. Paul's School (Concord, N. H.), he was offered two other jobs: the Episcopal coadjutor-bishopric of Pennsylvania, the rectorship of Manhattan's Trinity Church ("one of the most enviable jobs in or beyond the Episcopal Church" which has often proved a stepping-stone to the top-ranking bishopric of New York). St. Paul's is the oldest and biggest of the haughty Episcopal preparatory schools, and its headmastership always ranked high, but Dr. Drury's nolo episcopari enormously increased the prestige...
...strapping man (6 ft. 4 in., 200 lb.), he was crew manager and Skull & Bones man at Yale (Class of 1914), won a Distinguished Service Cross for "extraordinary heroism" as a major in the World War, was chosen Bishop Coadjutor of southern Ohio in 1930 after holding an assistant rectorship in Waterbury, Conn., a rectorship in Worcester, Mass.

In the seven years of his rectorship Monsignor Ryan reorganized and brilliantly rebuilt the only pontifical university in the U. S. Far from viewing a Catholic university as a glorified seminary, he instituted nursing courses, a School of Social Work, expanded the Graduate School to admit 800 students, the University to enroll 3,000 men & women. He upped the University's income...
...served as curate in several small western parishes, was rector of Chicago's Church of the Atonement from 1915 to 1927. This post he liked so well that, in 1924, he refused the bishop coadjutorship of Northern Indiana and the bishopric of Olympia, Wash. After holding the rectorship of St. Stephen's in Providence, he became vicar of the Chapel of the Intercession (one of Trinity's seven offspring) in Manhattan in 1930. Twelfth in a line of rectors dating from 1697, he will get something like $20,000 a year,* considerably more than his superior Bishop Manning (a onetime...
