Past Presidents
About the Presidents:Prior to the Presidency of Patrick A. Donohoe, S.J., Santa Clara presidents did not serve for a term of more than six consecutive years because the president was also the rector (religious superior) of the Jesuit community and Jesuit regulations limited the number of consecutive years a rector could serve. In 1968, the positions of president and rector were separated and since then presidents have served for as long as the individual and the Board of Trustees chose. Past SCU Presidents:Paul L. Locatelli, S.J. 1988-2008 William J. Rewak. S.J. 1976-88 Thomas D. Terry, S.J. 1968-76 Patrick A. Donohoe, S.J. 1958-68 Herman J. Hauck, S.J. 1951-58 William C. Gianera, S.J. 1945-51 Charles J.
