Senatus Academicus
The Senatus Academicus was a governing body of the college that was formally organized in 1845. Originally it consisted of the President, trustees, fellows, professors, and all graduates of the college. It was declared that all of these members would make up the House of Convocation.
By 1847, the Senatus Academicus was defined as being made up of two houses : the Corporation and the House of Convocation. The Corporation was composed of 24 trustees, the President, and the Chancellor. They were responsible for tasks such as managing college funds, appointing professorships, and exercising “the powers of Collegiate Society”. The House was composed of the fellows, professors, and all graduates of the college. Their powers were delegated by the Corporation. These typically consisted of advising and making plans for the college, nominating junior fellows, and naming and endowing scholarships, prizes and medals.
