Henry Joseph McAnulty, C.S.Sp. (April 25, 1915 – June 10, 1995) was an American Catholic priest. A Spiritan, McAnulty served as the ninth president of Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from 1959 until 1980, and afterwards as university chancellor until his death.
Henry McAnulty was born on April 25, 1915 in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He attended high school at Central Catholic High School in Oakland, graduating in 1932.
McAnulty earned his bachelor's degree at Duquesne University, majoring in philosophy and English with no intention of becoming a Holy Ghost Father. Following his graduation in 1936, however, he entered St. Mary's Holy Ghost Seminary in Norwalk, Connecticut, where he earned a bachelor of divinity. He was ordained a priest in 1940. McAnulty entered the Air Force as a military chaplain during World War II and served for fifteen years, retiring with the rank of lieutenant colonel. (He stayed in the reserves, and was later promoted to the rank of brigadier general; he was the first Catholic chaplain to be accorded such an honor.)
McAnulty returned to Duquesne in October 1958 by the invitation of President Vernon F. Gallagher. He served in the capacity of assistant to the president for less than a year before being appointed president himself.
