  O Mac From that wiki page, possible Headmasters at this time were: (1860 – 1870) Alex Waugh Young was CAI's founding principal and very little is known of him. (1870 – 1915) Thomas Galway Houston, OBE, MA, FRSAI Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland served the school for 45 years, enjoying a long retirement in Portstewart until his death in 1939 at the age of 96. Houston served as a member of the Senate in the Stormont Parliament for Queen's University, Belfast.

  Niall McAuley In a sizeable advertisement for the school, it says A.W. Young had a B.A. and was Andrews’ Scholar, University College, London. Otherwise, detail on him is proving elusive in the newspapers. (Belfast Newsletter, 6 August 1860) ETA: Found another snippet "… late Carpenter and Travers scholar, B.A. of the University of London, and Andrew scholar of University College {London] has lately been appointed Principal…" (London City Press, 10 March 1860) And Mr Young was elected a Fellow of University College London in 1867.
