[5] He remained in this position until becoming the rector of Woodstock College in 1912;[6] he was succeeded as provincial by Anthony Maas.
Unlike his predecessor, Gannon, Hanselman initially remained in the United States while holding the position, rather than move to Rome, due to the fighting of World War I.
