Registrar's office to be located on campus in the Arts' Building

On the death of Havelock Cay, Senate and Faculty decide that Registrar's Office should be located on campus and that preference for the position of Registrar be given to a graduate of the University. One senator remarked that " it might appear strange to have our degrees signed by a man without a degree" (in 31 Mar 1930 Minutes, p 32). Senate hears Committee report on 14 May 1930 that Registrar will be responsible for collecting fees, taking Minutes (University Secretary), tracking property and rents, accounts payable and receivable, students' records, and general supervision of grounds, properties, and buildings. Salary to be $2,000, and Joseph W. Sears is appointed Registrar. (SM 5 (14 May 1930), 34, 38)
