Sub-rector

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sub-rector is the historical name for a teacher working at a Latin or scholarly school, later a member of the school administration at the grammar school . The sub- rector was subordinate to the vice-rector and thus to the rector . Since he was in third rank, he was sometimes called Tertius . The assistant teacher subordinate to a sub-rector was called a collaborator ("employee"). As with other teachers, it was often common for sub-rectors and collaborators to also work in church service.

The Athenaeum in Bremen can be used as an example of a typical hierarchy of teachers , where the following teachers existed in the 17th century: Rector, Vice Rector, Sub-Rector and Collaborator. In addition, there were teachers for special disciplines such as the cantor for music lessons or a grammar for ancient language lessons.

The modern equivalent of the sub-rector in the 19th century in Germany is the senior student council at the grammar school.
