…President of King’s College, the rev.
George McCawley, D.D….
…He was born at St. John, Newfoundland, early in
the century, we believe in the year 1802. When he attained his fifteenth year
he matriculated at King’s College [approx 1817[…he [would] return to preside
over the university…

Having gone to college for the purpose of study,
and not for the indulgence of frivolities, he kept the goal before him and steadfastly
pressed toward it…
…In 1865 he was promoted by the Bishop to the Archdeaconcy

These Honorary offices he resigned in 1874, and the following year he also resigned
presidency of the college…
