The tradition of leadership at NCSU is rich and varied. The university was originally headed by a President (1889-1934), then a Vice President of the Consolidated University (1934), then a Dean of Administration (1934-1945), and finally a Chancellor (1945-present). This online exhibit, originally created in 1998 and titled "109 Years of Leadership, " traces the tradition back to 1889, when Alexander Quarles Holladay was selected to lead the new North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts.
