Etymology
The word chancellor comes from the old Latin cancellarius, a doorkeeper or secretary who sat behind a wooden screen called cancellus ('lattice' or 'screen'). That's why the title became the name of an important official, and at a university a chancellor is often the ceremonial head while others run the daily work.
