The Office of the Principal of Sir George Williams University has its origins in the reorganization of the educational program of the Montreal Young
Men's Association (YMCA) in the 1920's, culminating in the establishment of a separate branch called the Montreal YMCA Schools in 1925. The schools
became a separate unit in the Montreal YMCA Metropolitan organization, under the direction of its own Board of Management (which became the Board of
Governors in 1937) and its own executive head, the Principal. In 1926, the Montreal YMCA Schools became a coeducational institution and changed its
name to Sir George Williams College. The Principal was appointed by the Montreal YMCA Metropolitan Board on the advice of the Sir George Williams
College Board of Management. Mr. A. W. Young was the first Principal and his term of office was 1925-1928. In 1948, Sir George Williams College
officially obtained its university charter and the same year a special by-law of the Corporation of Sir George Williams College defined the duties of
the Principal as follows:
The Principal of the College, under the direction of the Board of Governors shall have charge and general control of the work of the College, and
shall attend meetings of the Board of Governors and of Committees of the Board. He shall certify all contracts and all bills for payment. He shall
define the duties of all employees of the College, who shall report to him as the Executive Officer of the Board in such manner as he may direct (art.
VII, sect. 11).
In 1959, the College requested that the Québec Legislature amend its University Charter, changing its name to Sir George Williams University. In
1974, the University merged with Loyola College creating Concordia University. The Office of the Principal of Sir George Willams University
thereafter became the Office of the Rector of Concordia Unviersity.
The Office of the Principal of Sir George Williams College and later, University, played a significant leadership role in the development of the
institution. The Office of the Principal was occupied not only with day to day affairs, but with a strong ongoing vision and guidance for the
development of the fledgling institution. Sir George Williams began as a young, small institution with an unrecognized program, growing dramatically
in the post-war years, and again in the 1960s, along with the increased demand for higher education.
The Principals of Sir George Williams College and University were:
Anson W. Young (1925-1928)
Frederick O. Stredder (1928-1935)
Kenneth E. Norris (1936-1956)
Henry F. Hall (1956-1962)
Robert C. Rae (1962-1968)
Douglass B. Clarke (1968-1969)
John W. O'Brien (1969-1974), became Rector of Concordia University in 1974.
