Till All Shall Reach That Happy Shore,
Where Friends And Kindred Part No More.

Proctor Connections?

PROCTOR (Lat. procurator, agent), in a general sense,
one who is commissioned to manage the business of another. In a particular
sense, a proctor is one who is commissioned to transact the business of his
principal in the ecclesiastical or admiralty courts. Hе discharges functions
similar to those of attorneys and solicitors in other courts. In England,
the proctor can be admitted to practice only after a clerkship of seven
years with a senior proctor of at least five years' standing, and he must
produce a certificate of considerable proficiency in classical education.
Before the abolition of the probate and matrimonial courts of doctors'
commons, the proctors were the only persons allowed to practise in them.
(See Doctors' Commons.) Proctors are known in the United States only as
officers of the courts of admiralty, whose duties, authority, and
responsibilities correspond to those of attorneys at law.—The name proctor
is also given in England, and in some American colleges, to university
officers whose duty is to guard morals and order.
