There is a historical distinction between vicar and rector that has to do with collecting tithes. The new article on vicar discusses it, and I have harmonised this article with it. --- Ihcoyc
Peter Ustinov wasn't the Rector at Durham, he was the chancellor. He was previously Rector at Dundee, though.

In the Anglican church, a rector is one type of parish priest, sometimes referred to as a parson.
Just to add, Dundee University is a spin-off from St Andrews and is not even 50 years old. It is NOT an ancient university!
I'm sorry but the age of a universitys charter does not affect its classification as an ancient, Students have been studying at dundee since 1881. because of this and its longstanding roots as part of standrews. It is therefore classed as an ancient
Look at article on ancient university where it is defined as pre-C19. Out of interest, in England, a university founded in 1881 University would be called a Red Brick university. I have modifed the article accordingly. - Op. Deo 09:26, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
Indeed, that is correct, but nonetheless the status of Dundee as the 'child' of St Andrews makes it technically an Ancient. I hope the wording I've settled upon at this juncture should satisfy all parties. Lordrosemount 01:09, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
User:Op. Deo removed the following contribution on 18 Sept 05:
"Rector is the Scots language cognate of the Nordic language rektor."
He did not explain why.
He also, I can only assume by accident, removed the perfectly valid interwiki link sv:Rektor and categories. Could I request that when Users wish to delete part of a contribution, that they do not use revert, but rather manually remove the relevant bit. Otherwise they waste other people's valuable time adding back in the valid bits.-- Mais oui! 18:11, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
Although there is some variation, generally speaking in the Episcopal Church in the USA, a rector is a priest in charge of a parish and a vicar is in charge of a mission. Usage varies a bit, but not so much that it would be appropriate to say a rector is "sometimes" in charge of a parish. "Usually" is more appropriate. Rockhopper10r 20:12, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
Prytanis is not obviously cognate to "rector", so I don't know what the Greek claim is doing in there. Mangoe ( talk) 13:28, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
Is it really necessary to list here all the nations of Europe where "rector" is a recognized term for an academic administrator? It interrupts the narrative and may be more appropriately listed as a footnote. Parkwells ( talk) 18:52, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
The reference to head of schools (Facultades) being rectors is wrong. The head of a school is called Decano (Dean), while Rector applies only to the head of the whole university — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.195.95.182 ( talk) 01:53, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't this be merged with Chancellor (education)? It's the same function largely, just a different name. This article even admits this. Malick78 ( talk) 16:36, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
