Collins (1896–1981) was a 20th-century Catholic priest who served as the ninth president of St. Ambrose College in Davenport, Iowa from 1956 to 1963. BiographyHe was born and raised in Millersburg,Iowa[1] and was educated at St. Ambrose College. He was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Davenport at Sacred Heart Cathedral in 1929.[2] He was referred to as "Sailor Bill" since he had served in the Navy. He was assigned to the faculty of St. Ambrose College and served as chairman of the business and economics departments on campus before becoming president. From 1953-1959 he was the moderator of the Te Deum, a lecture program that provided adult education in the diocese.[3] He was named the president of St. Ambrose in 1956, the same year that Pope Pius XII named him a Domestic Prelate upon the nomination of Bishop Ralph Hayes.[4] Hoping to get the school back on track financially, Collins raised tuition and temporarily dropped the football program. During his term, East Hall (Rohlman Hall) was constructed. Collins was active in the American Legion and helped found the Council of World Affairs. After he served as president of the college he was assigned as the chaplain at the Kahl Home for the Aged and Infirmed in Davenport. {{s-start}}{{s-aca}}{{succession box |before= Ambrose Burke | title= President of St. Ambrose University | years= 1956–1963 | after= Sebastian Menke }}{{s-end}} References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.sau.edu/About_SAU/Presidents_Office/Past_Presidents.html |title= Past Presidents |publisher=St. Ambrose University |accessdate=2007-03-05 |last= |first= }} {{Roman Catholic Diocese of Davenport|state=collapsed}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Collins, William J.}}2. ^{{cite book|last=Schmidt|first=Madeleine M.|title=Seasons of Growth: History of the Diocese of Davenport|volume=|year=1981|publisher=Diocese of Davenport|location=Davenport, Iowa |page=374}} 3. ^Schmidt, 242-43 4. ^Schmidt, 352 9 : 1896 births|1970 deaths|Roman Catholic Diocese of Davenport|Presidents of St. Ambrose University|American Roman Catholic priests|People from Iowa County, Iowa|People from Davenport, Iowa|Religious leaders from Iowa|Catholics from Iowa |
