Biographical / Historical
The University Court and the Senatus Academicus had separate Secretaries until 1918. Following the recommendations of a Joint Committee of Court and Senatus (set up by Sir Richard Lodge in 1916), the position of University Secretary was established. It took over from the Secretaries of Court and Senatus and also oversaw the general secretarial business of the University.
