In 1962 Harry was appointed Registrar of RCSI and under his creative thinking, energy and enthusiasm the College was revitalised, upgraded and expanded. To show the College's appreciation for all Harry had done, he was bestowed with an Honorary Fellowship in 1981. A past President of RCSI, Peter McLean, summed up Harry's influence when he said
'Harry O'Flanagan revolutionised our College'.
