Universities

The Chancellor is the titular head of the University - an office which was established in medieval times by the Popes. Historically, the Chancellor had wide powers to make laws, set studies, appoint professors, etc. In modern times, Chancellors of Universities are limited to the general protection of the interests of the University, particularly in connection with the government. A Vice-Chancellor represents the office in actual administration.
