Under the By-laws of the College drawn up in 1929, two Vice Presidents were to be chosen from among the Fellows of the College. The Senior Vice President, or in his absence, the Junior Vice President, was to undertake the President's duties in the case of the latter's inability or unwillingness to undertake his duties. The Senior Vice President was to be the Vice President who had held office for a longer period. The Vice President assumed primary responsibility for overseas affairs in the early 1980s; prior to this time the College Secretary was responsible for overseas affairs.

The records have been produced by the office of the Vice President and transferred to the Archives by the Administration Department.

The records listed below were transferred in batches to the Archives over a period of years, appraised by the College Archivist 10 years after transfer and disposed of in accordance with Disposal Agreement No 8 between the Archivist and the vice president's secretary. The majority of files have been extensively weeded to remove duplicates and ephemera.

Further accruals are expected.
