Rev. John F. O'Hara CSC, who was later to become president of the University and a cardinal in the Catholic Church, was asked in 1916 by Rev. John W.

However, in 1930, the chairman of the United States Shipping Board, Edward Nash Hurley, contributed $200,000 for the erection of a new building to be known as the College of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
