VICE-PRESIDENTS (ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE): D.R. MACKAY (Brandon College 1947-1967; Brandon University 1967-1972) Donald Ross MacKay was born in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. He came to Brandon College in 1936, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1939 or 1940. From 1940-1947, MacKay served in the Canadian Army Canada and overseas. In September 1947 he was appointed Registrar-Bursar at Brandon College. During his career he also served as University Comptroller, Public Relations Officer, Director of Development, Secretary to the Board of Governors, Secretary of the Board of Directors, Secretary to Senate and Assistant to the President.

As a result, records created during his tenure as Comptroller almost certainly also reflect his responsibilites beyond the Comptroller's Office. Don MacKay died on April 2, 1990.
