The position of registrar was officially established in 1886 to handle student admissions and grade records. In 1930, the title of the position became dean of admissions and registrar. In 1942, it became registrar and examiner; the registrar at that time had administrative authority over the Central Office of Records and the newly created Office of Admissions. In 1947, the registrar's position was eliminated, and the directors of the Central Office of Records and the Office of Admissions were placed directly under the chancellor. In 1954, the Central Office of Records was placed within the new Division of Student Affairs; in 1961, it was reorganized and named Office of Records and Registration. Finally, in 1969, the Office of the Registrar and Director of Institutional Research was established and given authority over the Office of Records and Registration. The Office of the Registrar and Director of Institutional Research was eliminated in 1984. The current positions of registrar and director of institutional research, because of much administrative reorganization, are not true successors to the previous office. Records include annual and other reports of the Office of the Registrar and Director of Instiutional Research, 1967-1983; annual reports of the Office of Records and Registration, 1955-1975; annual reports of the Student Aid Office, 1951-1974; and annual reports of the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, 1931-1971.
