Mr Alexander Campbell was House Steward from 1930 until 1951, when the post was dissolved. He then assumed the position of Secretary and Treasurer to the Board of Management, performing similar functions. Mr Ernest Errington succeeded Mr Campbell on his retirement in May 1960. A memorial plaque for Mr Campbell, who died in 1964, was placed in Crichton Memorial Church in 1965. In 1967 the hospital's administrative staff moved into Crichton House and the building was renamed Campbell House after the late Mr Campbell.
