History

The office of Secretary and Director was created in 1903 as a change of name for the post of Secretary and Treasurer created by the College's Board of Governors in 1888. As the College had grown, so had the responsibilities of the Secretary and Treasurer, and the change of name was intended to reflect this. The office underwent a further name change in 1911 when it was renamed Director.

Mandate

The Secretary and Director provided administrative support to the Board of Governors and was responsible to the Board of Governors for the day to day management of the College.

Administrative structure

The Secretary and Director was assisted by the office of Registrar. In 1907, following the resignation of the Registrar, the office was reorganised and a number of clerks appointed to assist the Secretary and Director.
