McQuaid, Bernard

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.05 sec.

McQuaid, Bernard (John) (1823–1909)

US Catholic prelate. He was a cofounder in 1856 and first president of Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey, before being named bishop of Rochester, New York, in 1868. Regarded as a conservative, he opposed the Knights of Labor as a secret society and led a clerical faction that strongly promoted parochial schools while attacking ‘godless’ public education. McQuaid was born in New York City. Raised in a Catholic orphanage after his parents died, he was ordained in 1848.
