POSITION

Position TitleVice-ChancellorStart Date of Position1874End Date of Position2004Description

The Office of Vice-Chancellor was established by the Act of Incorporation No. 20 of 1874 section 2. The Vice-Chancellor was to be elected by Council and at the first Council meeting of 11 December 1874 the Right Reverend Augustus Short, Lord Bishop of Adelaide, was elected as the first Vice-Chancellor.

The terms of office of the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor were fixed by statute (allowed November 1881), and amended as regards the Chancellor in 1912 and with reference to the terms of office of the Vice-Chancellor in 1942.

Until 1948 the position was honorary, and AP Rowe was appointed the first full time salaried Vice-Chancellor in September 1947 (taking up duties in May 1948) at a salary of £2,000 plus a £250 expense allowance.

In January 1975, under the new University of Adelaide Act No. 41 of 1971, the functions of the Vice-Chancellor as the Chief Executive Officer of the University were formally prescribed by Statute.

In August 2004, the title of Vice-Chancellor was changed to Vice-Chancellor and President.
