The Revd Dr James Duthie took charge of the Seminary in 1860, and played a vital role in raising it to a college. | ||
In 1893 the Seminary was elevated to a Second Grade College affiliated to the [[University of Madras]] with twelve students under the Revd Dr James Duthie as the first Principal. He was succeeded by Mr. J.E. Dennison who was the Principal of the college from 1894 to 1898. After Mr Dennison severed his connection with the South Travancore Mission in 1898 the Revd Duthie nourished the young institution till the arrival of the Revd George Parker who assumed charge in January 1901. | In 1893 the Seminary was elevated to a Second Grade College affiliated to the [[University of Madras]] with twelve students under the Revd Dr James Duthie as the first Principal.

The | The college recorded rapid progress under the Revd Parker's care. The Indian Universities' Act of 1904 introduced the Intermediate Examination course in the place of First in Arts (F.A) Examination course. The Revd Parker built the Science Block for the college in 1908–1910 with a legacy of £1000 from the family of Mr. Septimus Scott and a grant from the government of Travancore. With money donated by the Revd Parker's father-in-law, Mr. E. D. Pochin of Manchester an extensive plot of ground was purchased for the recreation of students. | ||
During the Revd Parker's furlough, the Revd Dr Sydney Cave was in charge of the college from 1909 to 1911. The Revd Parker returned in February 1911 and resumed charge. The Revd R. H. Eastaff who was appointed to assist the Revd Parker arrived on 3 February 1921 and took over as Principal in June, 1921 when the Revd Parker left on furlough. To the Revd Eastaff goes the honour of having started The Scott Christian College and School Magazine which was published every term during his period of service in the college. On the return of the Revd Parker in November 1923 the Revd Eastaff left the college and took charge of the Divinity School in Trivandrum. | During the Revd Parker's furlough, the Revd Dr Sydney Cave was in charge of the college from 1909 to 1911.
