President of Calvin College
- President of Calvin College
The President of Calvin College is the chief executive officer of the school. The office is not as old as Calvin College, which had no need for such a position when it was founded in 1876. When the "Theological School of the Christian Reformed Church" opened in 1876, it had one instructor. As other instructors joined the staff, the title Rector was applied to the person in charge of daily affairs, while the title of docent was applied to all other faculty. When the literary curriculum was added in 1894, the head of the Literary section went by the title of Principal. The office of College President was created in 1918 to replace the office of Principal. The seminary head remained the Rector until 1931, when that title also was changed to Seminary President.
