Biographical history
Although the first president of Dalhousie College, Thomas McCulloch, was appointed in 1838, it wasn’t until 1945 that the Board of Governors determined the specific responsibilities of the Office of the President, wherein the president became responsible for the general supervision of the university, encompassing all areas from the academic program to the student body.
