The Board of Admissions was originally formed in 1917 from a Standing Committee consisting of the President, Dean, Registrar and three professors. In addition to this Committee, an Executive Secretary to the Board of Admissions was appointed in 1922, to be replaced by the Director of Admissions in 1940. For several years the Director of Admissions functioned within the Office of the Academic Dean and later in the Office of the Dean of the Faculty. A separate Office of Admissions was eventually formed in 1975.
