Best Answer

Historically, there was no position called "chief of staff" till the early 1960s. Most of the duties of such a person used to be filled by the president's private secretary or by his special assistant. The White House staff was much smaller in the era before the rise of cable TV and the internet, and managing the president's schedule and his appearances was evidently easier to accomplish. While a number of presidents had a presidential assistant, he first time a president seems to have had a "chief of staff" was in 1961-62.
