Biography
William O'Brien Pardow was born in New York City, the son of Robert and Augusta Garnett (O'Brien) Pardow. His paternal grandfather, George Pardow, was of an old Lancashire family and came to New York in 1772.[1] His maternal grandfather was William O'Brien, an heir of the Earl of Inchiquin, who as a United Irishman was forced into exile, and coming to New York in 1800 established a successful banking business with his brother John. The O'Briens refused the New York agency of the Bank of England, thus sacrificing financial reward for an impractical ideal.
He was President of the College of St. Francis Xavier (1891–1893),[2] the Loyola School (1907–1909) and rector of the Church of Saint Ignatius Loyola in New York.
