John A. Mulcahy was a native of Ireland who attended City College of New York and worked his way up to the presidency of the Quigley Company.
He became a Fordham Trustee, who donated $2.5 million dollars in 1968 to create the chemistry building that now bears his name, Mulcahy Hall. The new building doubled the space available to the Department of Chemistry and continued the discipline’s ascent at Fordham, begun 60 years earlier through the efforts of Edward Tivnan, S.J.
At the time of the building’s naming, one of his sons was enrolled at Fordham and another had graduated.
