Scott, Duncan Campbell, 1862-1947 : Duncan Campbell Scott (born at Ottawa, 2 August 1862; died 19 December 1947) was first employed as an Extra Clerk in the office of the Indian Commissioner from December 1879 to March 1880, and then served briefly in the Department of the Interior. He was appointed to a permanent position in the Civil Service by Order in Council, effective 8 October 1880. He served as a Clerk in the Accounts Branch of the Department of Indian Affairs, rising to the position of Chief Clerk in 1893.

In October 1913 he was appointed Deputy Superintendent General of Indian Affairs, a post he held until his superannuation in 1932.

Scott was, at various times, a governor of the Dominion Drama Festival and the Canadian Writer's Foundation, a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature of Great Britain, and president of the Canadian Author's Association, the Ottawa Drama League, and the Royal Society of Canada.
