+The Rector in this period was the [[Town Council]]'s Supervisor, leaving discipline, moral/religious control and college administration with the Principal.
 In 1665 the Town Council of Edinburgh resolved that the role of Rector should rest thereafter with the Lord Provost of Edinburgh in an ''ex officio'' capacity but in real terms had little or no involvement. By 1838 the then Lord Provost, Sir James Forrest of Comiston, was unclear whether he was the Rector or not.
