goes on where the other courses leave off—
providing the practical management training that
can take you all the way to the executive suite.

Bfter the article in our Winter,
1990 issue on scientific research at UBC appeared, it
was as if the roof of Cecil
Green Park had blown off in a
rainstorm. Complaints poured in
from every corner of the social sciences and humanities faculties,
from deans on down. "There is
more to research at UBC," they all
said, "than scientific research."
And, of course, so there is. The
scholarly work done in those
departments is altogether as important as that done in the sciences. We knew that!
We did, actually. It had been
our plan all along to publish a
two-part overview article on research in all areas of the university. What we didn't do was to say
so in the Winter, 1990 edition.
Thus the rumpus. Part two of the
article, research in the arts, appears in this issue.
Also appearing is an interview
with Clark Binkley, the new dean
of forestry. In a period when forest
management in B.C. has come
under close scrutiny from all
sides, our influential faculty of
forestry is about to undergo some
changes. Read about them here
first.
We also have pages of photographs from the 75th Anniversary
celebrations, a special book review
section on the 25th Anniversary of
the creative writing department,
and an introduction to the new
members of our Board of Directors, elected by acclamation.
We hope you enjoy the Spring
issue of The Chronicle.

From   the
President
M
hen I began my term as
President of the Alumni Association, I wrote in this
space that the year ahead
held many organizational challenges for us. With the expansion of
the World of Opportunity Campaign and Alumni fundraising
conducted completely through the
Development Office, our role as an
Association entered a period of
change.
And that change, while still in process, has redefined the focus of
our work.
The overall goals of the Association, as articulated by our founders
in 1917, are to keep our members informed about the university, and
support UBC in its pursuit of academic excellence. Over the years
these goals have remained constant, and the Association has become
an important part of university affairs.
In the past, however, we have interpreted our mandate in a very
individualistic way. We have taken the initiative to develop our programs and events as it suited our membership. The results were
commendable. Our divisions and branches programmes grew much
faster than we anticipated, and our other efforts, such as The Chronicle, are popular and widely accepted.
But this past year was a watershed. Organizing events around the
75th Anniversary celebrations made it clear to us that our goals
would be best served by a closer relationship with the university. Not
only could we concentrate our efforts on programs and events that
coincided with the overall objectives of the university, but we could
also enjoy the advantages of coordinating our efforts with other university units. We are now working closely with units within the External Affairs department of the university (Ceremonies, Community Relations, Development Office, International Liaison and others) to
achieve our goals.
The result promises to bring even greater strength to the Association, and provide you, our members, with better services.
It has been a pleasure serving as President of the Association over
the past year. My deepest thanks go to the other members of the Association's Board of Directors, and to Deborah Apps and the Association staff. Without their support and advice, our work over the past
year would have been very difficult. I would also like to extend my
best wishes to Dave Coulson in his coming term as President. His
challenge is to carry on and reinforce this new relationship. If his year
is half as interesting as mine was, it will be very exciting indeed.

Hong Kong Branch Gala
Hhe evening was named "Alumni
and Friends," and both were
out in full force in January in
Hong Kong. Held at the Hong
Kong Hilton, the reception and
dinner was designed to honour
those alumni and friends in Hong Kong
who have donated so generously to
The World of Opportunity Campaign,
and to bring news of the university to
the Far East.
Special guests were The Honourable David Lam, Lieutenant Governor
or B.C. and Deborah Apps, Executive
Director of the Alumni
Association. The event
was co-hosted by David
Strangway and Anthony
Cheng, President ofthe
Hong Kong branch of
the Association.
Guests were treated
to a feast of B.C. salmon,
donated by Dah Chong
Hong distributors, and
to Cedar Creek wines,
donated by the vintner.
Tables were decorated
with flowers from the
UBC Botanical Gardens.
Guests also saw a new
UBC video, Bridge of
Learning, and heard
graduate Gayle Chan
perform on the piano.
The following evening, Deborah
Apps, Athletics'director Bob Hindmarch
and Development Office director Ron
Dumouchelle were guests of the Hong
Kong branch executive at the Hong
Kong Country Club. The purpose of
the meeting was to plan events for the
coming year. Also present was Russell
Mark, president of the Tokyo branch.
Growth in Asia Pacific branch
activity has increased dramatically in
the past two years, and will continue to
be a top priority in Association annual
plans.
Lt. Gov. David Lam greets Dr. and Mrs. Cheng as Alice
Strangway looks on.
AGM&
Dinner, June 13
This year's Annual General Meeting
offers a new, tasty twist for Alumni
and Association volunteers. Set
tables and the good silver will greet
members this year, replacing the
cookies, coffee and rows of hard
chairs that greeted them in the past.
During the meal, members will
hear reports of the past year and
promises for the one to come. There
will also be a special guest speaker
and the announcement of the winners ofthe 1991 Alumni Awards.
The dinner will be hosted by
this year's President, Mel Reeves,
and a highlight of the evening will
be the ceremonial passing of the
presidential gavel from Mel to our
1991 president, Dave Coulson.
Reserve a spot (or a table) now,
because seating at Cecil Green Park
is limited to 100 dinner guests.
'50 Civils Get Hung
No one knows why, but a class picture of Civil
'50 was never hung with the others in the Civil
Engineering building. In September, 1990,
members of the class decided to right the
wrong and have a grad picture produced
and hung. They took photos from the 1950
Totem and had them arranged to replicate
class pictures of the day. At a ceremony at
the Faculty Club in February, Civil '50 grads
Bryan Quintan, Bob Urquhart, Hal Shopland,
John (Cal) Frost and Jim Patterson pose with
Dr. M. Isaacson (in beard) who was presented with the picture which now hangs in
its place of honour at Civil Engineering.

6 Chronicle/Spring 1991 News
UBC Alumni:
Whereabouts
Unknown
Finding a former classmate can be
like looking for a needle in a haystack. But not anymore. Soon a directory of alumni will be available to
help you locate your old friends.
The UBC Alumni Directory,
scheduled for release in the Spring
of 1992, will be a complete and up-
to-date reference on over 95,000
alumni. This volume will include
name, address, phone number and
academic data, pltis business information if applicable, all bound in a
library-quality edition.
The Association has contracted
the Bernard C. Harris Publishing
Company to produce our directory.
Harris will soon begin researching
and compiling the information to be
printed in the directory by mailing
questionnaires to all alumni. If you
prefer not to be listed in the directory, please contact the Association
in writing as soon as possible.
The directory will soon make
finding old classmates as easy as
opening a book. Look for more details in future issues of The Chronicle.
Sports Hall of Fame to Open
Retiring athletics director Bob Hindmarch has a dream: "UBC has an
impressive heritage of sport," he says.
"It is a tragedy that we have not recognized our most outstanding sports
contributors. The solution is obvious.
We need a Hall of Fame."
T-Bird historian Fred Hume is busy
compiling research on the 75 years of
UBC sport, with an eye to selecting
potential inductees to the Hall of Fame,
and to gather material for a book on
sports at UBC. Plans are afoot for a
gala dinner sometime in the fall to kick
off the Hall of Fame.
Alumni with memorabilia or information on potential inductees may call
Fred Hume at 687-2381, or contact
the Athletic Department at 6081 University Blvd. Vancouver B.C. V6T 1W5.
Alumni Receive
1990 Awards
In special events from September to
December, the Alumni Association
presented awards to the 1990 Alumni
award winners. Geraldine Kenney-
Wallace, current president of McMaster University, was presented with the
Alumni Award of Distinction at a dinner in early September, and William
Webber, former dean of medicine and
current associate VP at UBC was presented his Faculty Citation at the
September Ceremony.
Tenor Ben Heppner, Outstanding
Young Alumnus, and First Nations
House of Learning head Verna Kirkness, Honorary Alumnus Award winner, received their awards at events in
November. In December, Blythe Eagles
Volunteer Service Awards were presented at the Volunteer Christmas party
at Cecil Green Park. Winners were
Lewis Robinson, a founding member of
the Geography division (and candidate
for the hockey hall of fame) and Bill
Richardson, who has volunteered
countless hours to the Association.
Subscriptions
In the face of overwhelming costs,
the Association announced in the
last issue that we intended to limit
distribution of The Chronicle to subscribers and to UBC donors. After
discussions with the university, however, we decided that limited distribution, while economically responsible, went against the spirit of our
mandate, which is to keep all graduates informed about UBC.
As a result, we have reverted to
our original policy: Each issue ofthe
magazine will be mailed to UBC donors and all known graduates ofthe
university. Those of you who paid
$25 for your subscription ($15 for
the subscription, $10 for an Association mug), are therefore eligible
for a refund of $15. Since we still
solicit voluntary subscriptions, we
will assume that those who paid are
happy to leave your $15 with us as
voluntary subs. If you do want a refund, we will be happy to send you
one. Please let us know.
Voluntary subscriptions are now
$ 15 in Canada and $20 elsewhere. If
you would like a swell Alumni Association mug, complete with our new
crest, add $10 and we will speed a
mug your way by return mail.

Chronicle/Spring 1991 7 Campaign
The Changing Face of UBC: 10 Major
There will soon be a burst of
construction activity at Point Grey as
building projects funded through The
World of Opportunity Campaign and
the government of British Columbia
begin. In the next few years, the face of
UBC will be changed dramatically.
There are three types of buildings
on campus: permanent, semipermanent and temporary. Permanent
structures, like the Chemistry building,
the Main Library and the Buchanan
building, form the central physical
identity of UBC and represent growth
stages ofthe campus from 1922 to the
present.
Some semi-permanent buildings,
like the Old Administration building
and the Geography building, were built
in the early '30s as a temporary solution
to the needs of a growing institution,
and were meant to last no more than
30 or 40 years. Today, those buildings
are showing their age. Plumbing, heating
and electrical systems in some buildings
are virtually beyond repair.
After World War II, the huge
influx of eturning soldiers created a
demand for classrooms, labs and
dormitories. Surplus wartime huts, or
"Shrum's Slums," as they were
affectionately called, were moved on
campus until permanent buildings
could be built. Nearly 45 years later,
many of these ramshackle huts are
still in use. Finally, with the success of
the World of Opportunity Campaign
and the support of the government of
British Columbia, the days of these
semi-permanent and temporary
buildings are coming to an end.
Old, temporary buildings will be
pulled down and replaced with
permanent structures, and many vacant
sites will be Med. Students and faculty
will no longer be forced to conduct
their work in cramped, Inadequate
spaces. UBC's world class departments
will be housed in world class facilities.
Much of this new construction
is due to the generosity of individual,
foundation and corporate donors, and
the B.C. government with its matching
program. With the contributions of these
donors and the matching plan taken
into account, the Campaign has
collected close to $180 million in
endowments and new building funds.
The new buildings will have a
profound impact on the identity and
the productivity of UBC.
Centre for Integrated
Computer Systems Research
The idea for the centre (CICSR
or "Caesar") was conceived in 1984 by
the heads of electrical engineering and
computer sciences. CICSR will focus
on inter-disciplinary work in computer
imaging and animation, and will conduct
robotics research for industrial
applications. Researchers will also
develop artificial intelligence
applications for remote sensing in the
resource sector. The building will be
located next to the departments of
mechanical and electrical engineering.
Funding for CICSR is made available
by the government of British Columbia.
Advanced Materials and
Process Engineering Building
New materials are being created
daily to meet the needs of industry.
UBC is already a world leader in
materials research and development.
and researchers are currently working
on space-age alloys, electronic materials,
plastics and superconductors. The new
Advanced Materials building will have
high-headroom labs and ultra clean,
vibration-free space for precision work.
Faculty members in metals and
materials engineering, electrical
engineering, chemical engineering,
chemistry and physics will work together
in the new facility, and will foster
collaborative projects with industry and
government. Funding for the building
is made available by the government of
British Columbia.
Forest Sciences Centre
UBC scientists are conducting
leading edge research into forest ecology,
forest genetics and harvesting robotics,
and forestry researchers generate over
$2 million in external funding annually.
The centre will house a wide variety of
forestry-related research projects, and
will involve students and faculty from
agricultural sciences, graduate studies,
applied science, arts, and commerce
and business administration.
PAPRICAN, Forintek and FERIC, private
sector research institutions, will also
be involved. The centre will be built at
the southern end of the campus, near
the Forestry building, and is funded by
the government of British Columbia.
Fletcher Challenge Canada and
Weldwood of Canada have provided
additional funding.
Creative and Performing Arts
President Norman MacKenzie
had a vision of UBC as a centre for
8 Chronicle/Spring 1991 Campaign
Building Projects in the Next Decade
music, theatre and the visual arts in
B.C. Three major projects in support of
the creative and performing arts will
bring his vision to reality:
Chan Centre for the
Performing Arts
A donation from the Chan
Foundation will give UBC and
Vancouver a mid-sized performance
hall, the Chan Shun Auditorium and a
proscenium stage. Located near the
rose garden and the Faculty Club, It
will provide a beautiful setting for UBC's
convocation ceremonies and international
performances;
Morris and Helen Belkin
Art Gallery
The gallery will provide UBC with
the ability to protect and display fine
art in a building that meets international
standards. It will mount major
exhibitions and provide a home for
UBC's own art collection, now scattered
in various locations around campus. It
will also showcase the work of students
i and faculty in studio arts programs.
' Major funding is supplied by the Morris
and Helen Belkin Foundation and the
government of British Columbia;
Creative Arts Centre
The centre will provide studio
space for students and faculty in fine
arts, music and theatre. With facilities
for photography, filmmaking, drawing
and painting, music practice, and
costume design, it will create a multimedia environment where creativity
can flourish. The government of British
Columbia, B.C. Tel and the Royal Bank
of Canada have made significant
contributions to the centre.
Green College
Cecil Green, former UBC student
and co-founder of Texas Instruments,
has donated over $7 million for the
establishment of a residential graduate
college. Outstanding students,
researchers and academics from many
disciplines will work and live together
in an atmosphere of intense research
and cross-disciplinary study. The
College will be built at the northwest
part of the campus, and will incorporate
Graham House, currently used by the
faculty of social work. The College will
be patterned on Green College, Oxford.
David Lam Management
Research Centre
This centre will focus on economic
development in the Asia Pacific region,
working with disciplines across campus.
An important feature ofthe centre will
be the Management Research Library,
which will provide study and classroom
facilities. The centre will be located
adjacent to the Angus building on the
site of the Bus Stop Coffee Shop and
the old university bookstore. A new
restaurant will be built at the same
location as the old Bus Stop. Funding
for the David Lam Management
Research Centre has been provided by
the David and Dorothy Lam Foundation,
Edgar F. Kaiser Jr., L.O.M. Western
Securities and Peter M. Brown, Royal
Trustco Ltd., MacMillan Bloedel Ltd.,
Mr. & Mrs. Robert H. Lee, Geoffrey
Lau, and the government of British
Columbia.
First Nations Longhouse
In response to growing numbers
of First Nations students at UBC, and
to encourage further enrolment, the
Longhouse will provide teaching and
study space in surroundings that reflect
the culture and heritage of First Nations .
people. The Longhouse replicates the
unique Coast Salish style and is meant
to honour the heritage of the First
Nations people who have lived in this
area for thousands of years. Initial
funding for the Longhouse, which will
be located on West Mall across from
the Geography building, has been
provided by Jack Bell and the B.C.
government's matching program.
Sport and Recreation Centre
UBC's winter population of
students and staff now approaches
35,000. The demands on existing
campus recreational facilities have
become overwhelming. The centre will
provide two gyms, dance studios, weight
rooms, racquetball courts and other
fitness areas for the use of students,
faculty and staff. As well, bleachers
and lights will be added to Mclnnes
Field, and the playing field itself will be
upgraded. The War Memorial Gym will
also be upgraded with better seating
and expanded office facilities. UBC
students have committed $5 million to
these projects over a period of five
years.

The Forest for the Trees
The new Dean takes a look around
On June 30, 1990, Robert Kennedy stepped down as dean of forestry. His replacement is 40 year old
Clark S. Binkley, former professor of forestry in the school of forestry and environmental studies at Yale,
and a leading forest economist. Dean Binkley was appointed the Frederick K. Weyerhaeuser Professor
for Forest Resources Management in 1989. The dean spoke with writer Patrick Lewis on January 22.
Chronicle: I'm surprised that there is a school of forestry
at Yale. Is it well established?
Binkley: It is the oldest continuously operated forestry
school in North America (1900) ... but just barely.
Chronicle: Forestry and forest management have become
topics of particular interest to the public in the last decade. What do you think the effect has been on the faculty?
Binkley: I'm going to give you a rather long and discursive
answer. There's a book by Bill McKibben called The End
of Nature. McKibben argues that man has killed nature,
that even the concept of nature is dead. Even wilderness
areas are now bathed in an atmosphere that is man-influenced. It's an interesting book: he lays out his argument
then asks that, given this situation, what do we do?
He comes to two conclusions: either we become what
is essentially a pre-con-
sumer society or we take
responsibility for the stewardship ofthe earth in a
much more serious and
fundamental way than we
have before. He doubts we
can do the latter so he advocates the former.
Let me offer two comments on that. One is that
his argument is wrong. As long as man has been around
nature never existed the way McKibben thinks it did.
There is evidence of humans introducing fire into ecosystems as much as a million years ago. Humans have had
an enormous impact on nature for a long period of time.
The other comment is that there is now a widespread
and growing public understanding about the human impact on nature. Never before have we had a population
that has understood the first law of ecosystems, that everything is connected to everything else, that cutting down
a tree is somehow connected to salmon spawning. Foresters
understand it—they have been managing ecosystems for
a very long time—and some of them were talking about
these things in the 1930s. But nobody listened.
The change that has occurred, this sudden interest in
what foresters have to say after ignoring them for so long,
has rattled the profession. Now people are not only paying
attention but they're asking a lot of questions that we don't
know the answers to. It's a terrific opportunity for every faculty of forestry, but it is particularly good opportunity for
this one.
Chronicle: How is the faculty responding?
Binkley: We're doing several things but there has been one
unifying point that came from my discussions with the faculty: no one liked our curriculum. Nobody liked the way we
were training undergraduate foresters, so we are changing
it. In fact, just before this interview I met with the three
groups who are working on reforming our undergraduate
curriculum.
Chronicle: What was wrong?
Binkley: I think there were a number of things. From one
viewpoint, it was not broadly enough based scientifically,
with not enough ecosystem knowledge going into
it. From another viewpoint, there was not
enough social science in
it. Human concerns,
such as the cultural, economic and business values of forests, and the
questions of professional
and environmental ethics, had been pushed too far outside the curriculum. The
concerns were broad-based. I don't think anybody had
anything good to say about any particular facet ofthe program, so we needed to change. And we are. This faculty is
committed to a major revision.
Chronicle: What is the time frame for the revision?
Binkley: I'll say something now that I'm sure is going to get
me into trouble. One of my frustrations is that things move
so slowly. We have to present a very elaborate proposal to
the Senate and it takes a long time to get that together. I
don't know if it's inappropriately elaborate, but it sure as
hell slows us down, and we don't need to move slowly now.
I'm hoping that the committees will have reports with the
broad outlines of the changes by the end of the academic
year. We need to move very rapidly.
Right now the envisioned curriculum has two major
'To have a great forestry
program you've got to
have a great university"
****************** * * ****************
elements. One is the undergraduate
Bachelor of Science in Forestry, the
professional degree where you get registered by the Professional Foresters
Association and are able to design
harvest plans and so oh.
It's hard to put a single title on the
second major element. I call it a program in conservation just to have a
title to hang on it. It's for people who
are interested in parks and natural
area management, in working for environmental interest groups, or for consulting companies. The requirements
for accreditation as a forestry program
and the requirements to satisfy the
professional standards board in B.C.
are fairly strict. It puts a lot of constraints on people who are interested
In learning about forests but aren't
interested in registering as professional
foresters. And frankly, for many jobs
they don't need to know that much.
I always have to remember that
when I use the term forestry I can get
myself in trouble. I now understand
that the closest synonym to forester in
B.C. is logger. But that's not what I'm
talking about when I use the word.
Forestry is about the stewardship of
forested landscapes so that they can
sustain their productivity over the long
haul. And that's what I think the public, given the choice between living in a
pre-consumer society and being active
stewards of the forest, is going to vote
for. That's what forestry is supposed to
be about and that's what our faculty is
going to be teaching.
Chronicle: Criticism is sometimes levelled at the faculty for being too closely
allied to the forest Industry in the province. Would you like to comment on
that and on the faculty's relationship
with environmental organizations?
Binkley: It's interesting because if you
talk to the guys who run the forest
products industry their big complaint
is that the faculty doesn't pay enough
attention to their needs, that we're irrelevant, that nobody calls us up because we don't work on problems industry is Interested in. And of course
we get the counter claim as well, that
we're in industry's pocket,
I think the truth is that forestry, as
a profession, is feeling pressure because it has been slow to realize that
public expectations have changed. The
industry, the ministry of forests,
foresters, the whole shooting match,
are all under the same intense scrutiny. I think we get blamed for a lot of
things that aren't really our responsibility. I'm much more interested in
creating a vision of the future than
working over the past.
What the faculty ought to be doing
here is creating the scientific context in
which reasonable policy decisions can
be made. Environmental interest ^-oups
have a big stake in those policy decisions, and it's important that the work
we do includes all the stake holders.
Chronicle: Is it fair to ask the new Dean
where his faculty ranks in comparison
with other forestry faculties?
Binkley: It's fair to ask, and I'll even
answer it, but you may want to be
skeptical about it.
Forestry research and education,
but particularly education, faces the
same crisis in leadership that the profession does. There are great expectations of what we need to do to change,
but there aren't any exemplars of what
we ought to become. Right now I don't
think there is a leading forestry faculty.
To have a great forestry program
yotiVe got to start with a great university. Forestry faculties draw on other
faculties and you can't have forestry
sitting off by itself. If it is, it can't be a
great program. Botany, zoology and, in
fact, anthropology and sociology departments are central to what we do.
We have to be able to draw on the
faculty members in those departments,
if not for teaching then for their expertise to figure out what it is we ought to
be teaching. Not that many universities can have a preeminent forestry
program.
At UBC we are blessed with an
outstanding university and an opportunity to do something important. Forestry is important here and people
want the problems figured out, they
want It done right. With support from
the province and the community, we
can figure it out and we can do it right.
The fact that people are expecting
a lot from us gives us a challenge to respond to. We are trying to take the
leadership and set the framework for
the discussions about forest policy in
this province and, indeed, in the world.*

^     _■*» UBC's faculty of arts is to research an increas-

■    disciplinary viewpoint. Scholars in the social
^^^^/   sciences and humanities are expanding the conventional boundaries of their fields and raising
new questions about traditional subjects.    Across the
faculty, research topics are varied and approaches eclectic.
And researchers are receiving recognition for their accomplishments nationally and around the world.
Canada and Abroad
f'~*\ esearchers in the arts are opening up a
/L J world of opportunity for UBC. In the anthro-
/^^ I \ pology and sociology department, scholars
^__^ % investigate subjects ranging from economic
* anthropology to mythology. Patricia
Marchak, sociologist and dean of arts, has conducted extensive research in B.C. fishing and forestry industries, and
anthropologist Richard Pearson has delved into Asian archaeology, winning a Killam Award, two Social Sciences and
Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRCC) awards
and a Guggenheim Fellowship.
To illustrate the breadth of investigation in economics,
department head John Helliwell notes that the work of the
microeconomist ranges "from the construction of abstract
theoretical models to grappling with everyday economic
problems." Distinguished scholars also pursue research in
public finance, economic development, international economics, labour economics, economic history and other
areas.
On the basis of publications and citations, UBC's
economics department is recognized
as the first-ranking research department in Canada, and second
only to the London School of Economics among all universities outside the United States. Research
by faculty members has netted the
department three Fellowships of
the Econometric Society, two major international prizes in economic
history, six Killam or Biely Research
Prizes, and other honours.
Another top-ranking department is geography. The department has received four Killam prizes.
The most recent recipient was Geraldine Pratt for her work on the
nature of urban social geography.
An outstanding contribution by

a UBC geographer is the Cole Harris-edited Historical
Atlas of Canada, funded with a multi-million dollar SSHRCC
grant. "The Atlas transformed our understanding of the
roots of Canadian geography," says head Olav Slaymaker,
who is also acting director of the Sustainable Development
Research Institute (SDRI) and incoming president of the
Canadian Association of Geographers. Also expanding
geography's horizons are Gordon McBean, chair of the
World Meterological Organization's Scientific Committee on
Global Climatic Change; Terry McGee, a world leader in
Pacific Rim urbanization and David Ley who is an expert on
the social geography of Vancouver. Another new area,
interdisciplinary work on censorship, is being pursued by
Klaus Petersen. The department's newest acquisition is
Derek Gregory, "probably the most widely quoted working
geographer in the academic world on social theory and
historical geography," says Slaymaker.
"People are looking back to see where we came from,"
says head of history Richard Unger. "Students are interested in international history, historical relations, diplomacy and politics." The department focuses on European
history, Canadian social history and Asian history. Courses
in the latter area are conducted in cooperation with Asian
studies. The department also plays a major role in the
multidisciplinary international relations program.
'The department of political science includes and has
graduated many distinguished thinkers," says head Donald
Blake. 'That makes it difficult to single out individuals."
Even though it is the smallest social sciences department,
it produced the second largest number of graduates in 1988-
89.
Minister of Justice Kim Campbell and former Prime
Minister John Turner are both political science alumni.
Other outstanding contributors
include former department head
Alan Cairns, "one of Canada's leading experts on Canadian
constitutional matters," now research director of the MacDonald
Royal Commission on the Economic
Union and Development Prospects
for Canada; Kal Holsti, a highly
decorated specialist in international
relations theory and Paul Tennant,
a specialist in local government and
aboriginal politics.
The department is a major force
in research in Canadian politics.
The National Election Study is located here. As well, in conjunction

Asian studies, one of UBC's fastest growing academic
areas, is the focus of much scholarly investigation. In the
department of Asian studies itself, researchers explore
languages, literatures and civilizations. Whether it is
Edwin Pulleyblank's work on the ancient forms of the
Chinese and Indo-European languages or Ashok Aklujkar
and Kenneth Bryant's computer programs in Indian studies, the research activities are many and varied.
Also connected with Asian studies through its work
with the institute of Asian research is the school of community and regional planning (SCARP). In 1990, SCARP
established a Centre of Excellence in International Development, funded by a $6 million grant from the Canadian
International Development Agency (CIDA). Students and
faculty conduct research on Asian planning with partner
institutions in Thailand and are launching similar projects
in China and Indonesia.
atricia Marchak, appointed dean of
arts on July 1, has built a solid and well-
deserved reputation as a thinker, researcher, writer and administrator.
She graduated from UBC with a BA in
English and sociology in 1958, edited The
Ubyssey in 1957-58, then lived for four years in
Vienna where her husband William was posted
with the Canadian Embassy. Back in Vancouver in 1965, she resumed her studies and
completed a PhD in 1970, and taught in Arts
I for two years prior to teaching full-time in the department of anthropology
and sociology.
At the time of her appointment as dean, Marchak was professor and
head of the department of anthropology and sociology. She also sat on the
editorial boards of the Canadian Journal of Sociology and B.C. Studies, was
a member of the B.C. Selection Committee, Cecil Rhodes Scholarship Trust;
chair of the Canadian Studies Committee of the Shastri Indo-Canadian
Institute; member of the Social Sciences Advisory Committee to the Canadian Commission for UNESCO; on the board of directors of the Cedar Lodge
Society; member of the UBC Advisory Committee on Multiculturalism and on
various other community and UBC committees.
As a sociologist, she has acted as past-president of the Canadian
Sociology and Anthropology Association as well as numerous other executive and editorial positions. She was honoured with an "Outstanding Contribution" award by the Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association at
the Learned Societies Conference in 1990.
In addition to more than 60 invited speeches and keynote addresses and
some 40 conference papers to national and international assemblies, Marchak's
publications include Ideological Perspectives on Canada (three editions). In
Whose Interests: An Essay on Multinational Corporations in the Canadian
Context, and Green Gold: The Forest Industry in British Columbia, a winner of
the John Porter Award and named "one of the most outstanding academic
books of the year." Together with other faculty members, she directed
research on B.C. fisheries and co-edited/authored Uncommon Property: the
Fishing and Fish Processing Industries in British Columbia.
Influencing all of Patricia Marchak's activities is a deeply felt belief in the
crucial importance of research in the arts. "We are not teaching 'how to do'
something," she says, "but are ultimately trying to encourage people to think
critically, to be aware of the contexts of information and be broadly
informed. Our hope is that our graduates are constantly reinforming themselves, that 20 or 30 years later, they are still reading, updating and
remodelling their thinking."
Dedicated to training professional planners at the postgraduate level, SCARP offers the largest doctoral program in
community and regional planning in Canada.
Languages and Literature
f"^^^^^ he study of languages and literatures is another
I /   of UBC's strong suits.
" I      "The department of English is one of the larg-
/ est departments on campus," notes head Her-
■^™*^ bert Rosengarten. Some 3500 students take
English 100 in first year. In addition to teaching, faculty
members currently edit three journals, and sit on the
editorial or advisory boards of 23 publications.
Over the last five years, English faculty honours included three Killam Research Prizes; six Senior Killam
Research Fellowships; three Alexander von Humboldt Fellowships; the first Alumni Prize for Research in the Humanities and various SSHRCC awards. Recent books published
Chronicle/Spring 1991 13 by faculty members include W.H. New's
A History of Canadian Literature
and Warren Stevenson's Poetic
Friends: A Study of Literary Relations During the English Romantic
Period.
The study of classics has taken
members of that department far afield.
Hector Williams, first director of the
Canadian Archaeological Institute in
Athens, has been involved in excavations at Mytilene on Lesbos and at
Stymphalos in Arcadia. A recent biog-

raphy of the Roman Emperor Gaius
Caligula by Anthony Barrett was reviewed in the New York Review of
Books, Atlantic Monthly and the New
York Times.
In the small but active department
of linguistics, Patricia Shaw researches
the languages of Northwest Coast
Indians, and Michael Rochemont studies the Bantu language as well as grammar theory. David Ingram received a
Killam Research Prize in 1989 for his
work on language acquisition.
The French department is headed
by two-time Killam recipient Lawrence
Bongie, best known for his 1987 book
The Love of a Prince, an account of
Bonnie Prince Charlie's adventures in
France. In 1983, Bongie's work on 18th
century French studies garnered him
the French government award, Officier
de l'Ordre des Palmes Academiques.
Also noteworthy is Ralph Sarkonak's
two works on 1988 Nobel Prize winner
Claude Simon and Frank Hamlin's work
on place names in the French province
of Herault (winner ofthe Albert Dauzat
prize in 1982).
The Germanic studies department,
encompassing  areas  of study  from
modern German language to Scandinavian literature in translation, is the
first language de-
  partment     on
campus to use
computer-aided
language instruction. Head
Edward Momin
points out the
contributions of
Michael Batts,
_ president of the
International Association of German Studies; Marketa
Goetz-Stankiewicz, who has made
Czechoslovakian playwrights known
in English; and Peter Stenberg who
just published Journey to Oblivion:
The End of the East European Yiddish and German Worlds in the Mirror
of Literature.
Hispanic and Italian studies focus
on Spanish, Portuguese and Italian
language and literature. Head Derek
Carr is a specialist in medieval Spanish literature; Antonio Urrello has
written extensively on Latin American
literature; Marguerite Chiarenza is one
of the best known North American
specialists in Dante studies. Stefania

■^""^ Tees. Over the past five
years, its professors have won nine Killam Research awards. Research runs
the gamut from biopsychology to perception, cognition and environmental
psychology. Of the 44 fulltime people
in the department, more than half receive operating grants from NSERCC,
the Natural Science and Engineering
Research Council of Canada.
Clinical psychology accounts for
one-quarter ofthe research work done
in the department. One of the stars in
this field is Jack Rachman, a Killam
winner working in the area of panic
disorders, obsessions and compulsions.
He is also editor of two journals on behaviour therapy.
"The department probably has the
best developmental psychology group
in the country," adds Tees. Michael
Chandler specializes in cognitive development in children; Killam Faculty
Research Fellowship winner Janet
Werker studies "motherese," how
mothers talk to infants and children;
Tannis Williams looks at television's
effect on young people.
"Over the past ten or 20 years, we
have grown so much. This is an exciting time in the intellectual history of
the department," says Tees.
"Applied ethics is certainly a leaning in the department of philosophy,"
says acting head Howard Jackson. "We
consider questions of environmental,
business and medical ethics." Michael
McDonald was recently named to the
Maurice Young chair in applied ethics
and head ofthe UBC centre for applied
ethics; Peter Danielson is applying
computers to ethical decision making;
Sam Coval and student Peter Campbell
have developed a computer program
that can be used as a tutorial in courses
in the faculty of law.
"Although a small unit of the faculty of arts, the department of religious
studies has a record of distinguished
scholarship," says acting head Donald
Paterson. 'The academic mission of
the department is to examine the
phenomenon of religion and the religious experience in all its aspects." In
recent years, research highlights have
included examination of early Buddhist texts; historical research of early
20th century church unions in Canada and publication of a definitive
concordance of Islam's holy book, the
Qur'an.

A liberal arts education has been the focus of post secondary studies in B.C. since Vancouver College
ran courses as an experiment tn 1899. The UBC Curriculum Committee, struck to develop a broad liberal
arts programme for the new university in 1915, developed English history, geography, economics, philosophy and language courses for the first year of operation in 1915.
Social sciences and humanities programs have maintained a strong presence and have made a huge
contribution to UBC's reputation over the years. The following brief history shows the breadth of scholarly
work done at UBC, but cannot begin to indicate the volume of that work. Original research in the social
sciences and humanities at UBC is on a par with that at the best universities in North America.
f "1 y BC's formative period
I m / in the '20s and '30s
f      m       M     was marked by growth
■     M     and scholarly accom-
\,S^^ plishment. The department of education was
formed, and a new two-year social service diploma was launched. The French
department in the '30s was compared
favourably with the department at Oxford University. Books and articles by
scholars of the day were widely published and were well known.
Faculty made an impression outside academic circles. Carrothers studied currency and monetary economics
and became chairman ofthe provincial
Economics Council, and Angus served
as member of the Royal Commission
on Dominion-Provincial relations.
In 1939, commerce became a
department by itself with E.H. Morrow
as head.
Arts curriculum continued to grow
during the early '40s, and in 1942, the
B.Ed, degree was created. At the same
time, both Slavonic studies and social
work were organized under departments of their own. The faculty of law
was created 1945, and history's Soward was appointed director of a new
international relations program. Soward kept up his scholarly work during this period with the publication (as
co-writer) of Canada in World Affairs -
The Pre-War Years.
Other publishing scholars included
Clark, who wrote Jean Racine, and
Howay, Sage and Angus with their
British Columbia and the United States.
During 1947-48, as returning soldiers swarmed to UBC, more than one
hundred new courses were added to
the curriculum, from Chinese external
policy to courses in post-war reconstruction.
The student population boomed in
the late '40s and early '50s, and by
1951, the schools of commerce, education, home economics, social work and
graduate studies had been established.
The Massey Commission of the
early '50s reported that social sciences
and the humanities were severely underfunded. Later in the decade, however,

increased funding came from the
Humanities Research Council, the Carnegie and Rockefeller foundations, and
the Canada Council. As a result, more
new courses were developed in the literatures of Germany, France and
English speaking Canada, and in biblical literature, Greek history, aesthetics and semantics.
New studies began on various topics
including Native peoples' issues, labour relations and the economy. Also,
UBC's Asian courses burgeoned, with
seminars and research topics devel
oped in many areas. By 1958, nine
Asian studies courses were listed in
the calendar, including advanced
courses in Japanese and Chinese languages.
The school of community and regional planning was established in 1953,
and education (headed by Neville Scarfe)
and commerce became faculties. Other
new departments included economics
and political science, anthropology,
criminology, sociology, philosophy, geography, geology and psychology. By
1957, UBC had become the second

Canada and had an operating budget of $9 million.
As baby boomers reached university age through the '60s and '70s,
UBC, like universities all over North America, experienced another period of
rapid expansion. The school of library science opened in 1961, with
accreditation by the American Library Association three years later. Also in
1961, the department of Asian studies was established, with William
Holland as head. The sixties also saw the establishment ofthe departments
of Hispanic and Italian studies.
Research flourished in the arts during the 1970s, and departments
grew in strength and importance. Social work's Henry Maas wrote the important text, People and Contexts: Social Development from Birth to Old Age;
archeologist Charles Borden excavated at the Musqueam reserve, uncovering matting and basketry dating back 3000 years. Peter Suedfeld, psychology head in the '70s, conducted landmark research in environmental
psychology and sensory deprivation.
Research monies and grants grew during the early 80s. The Bank of
Montreal set up a new commerce chair, the seventh chair in the faculty in
three years. Such chairs involved endowments of between $400,000 and
$900,000. The Max Bell Foundation awarded $628,500 to support projects
in the faculty of law, the Institute of Asian Research (IAR), and the Westwater Research Centre which focuses on water and natural resources management. In 1983, UBC received a $500,000 grant from the Vancouver Foundation for its social sciences and humanities programs.
Asian studies got a further boost in 1986 when a teaching and research
position in Korean studies and a new Indonesian Resource and Policy
Centre were set up with funds of nearly $1 million.
During the mid '80s, budget cuts severely affected many programs.
Courses of study were curtailed in education and commerce, and the existence of an entire school (the school of family and nutritional sciences) was
temporarily thrown into question.
But scholarly work carried on unabated. As the decade drew to a close,
linguist Carolyn Johnson debunked the myth that blind children learn language more slowly than sighted children, and Nancy Waxier-Morrison, professor of sociology and social work, with her colleagues, found that single
working women have a better chance of surviving breast cancer than married women. Researchers at the Child Study Centre, in conjunction with
Douglas College, conducted a joint nation-wide study of employer attitudes
to child care. It was arguably the first time a Canadian university and community college had collaborated in research.
Arts research and scholarly work has been a dominant feature of UBC's
history, and will gain even more prominence in the next century.*

The Museum of Anthropology
he UBC Museum of Anthropology is internationally known for its innovative
architecture, unique display techniques and extensive collections. Staffed
permanently by 17, including five joint appointments with the dept. of anthropology and sociology, the museum provides the largest museum training
program in the country, from
undergraduate to the PhD level.
In 1989, the Museum of Anthropology received the "Tourist
Attraction of the Year in Canada" award from the Canadian
Travel and Tourist Industry—overall attendance in 1989-1990 was
150.682. Last year, the Museum
opened a new gallery to house a
600-piece European ceramics collection donated by Walter C.
Koerner, the strongest ceramic
collection west of Toronto.
Diversity in the Arts
continued from page 14
"In 1989-90, the family science
program was identified as one of the
best on a per faculty member basis, in
North America," says director Daniel
Perlman of the school of family and
nutritional sciences. Dealing with four
major areas of study—family science,
dietetics, home economics and nutrition—its 14 faculty members published
94 different items between 1987 and
1989. Says Perlman, "I believe that one
can justifiably conclude that the school's
faculty is a productive lot."
Delving into society's trends are
researchers in the school of social work,
the third oldest school of its type in
Canada. At the moment, clinical studies relating to social problems and the
study of social development are predominant. Says Glenn Drover, past
head and professor in the school, "These
are difficult times for social work. The
demand is greater and greater but
political and public support is becoming less and less. It's a real squeeze."
Projects range from Kathryn McCan-
nell's work on child abuse in rural
areas, Frank Tester's study of Northern Arctic Inuit response to post-war
social and welfare services and Sharon
Manson Willms' survey of housing
resources for people with AIDS.
Keeping an eye on the myriad
changes in the world today is the school
of library archival and information
studies, now in its 30th year, notes
director Basil Stuart-Stubbs.
The school's master of archival
studies program is now ten years old.
The only two-year Masters degree
program for archivists in North America, the program's influence is strongly
felt in the archival profession. "It has
changed the standards for archivists
at home and abroad," says Stuart-
Stubbs. Graduates work in broadcasting, libraries, archives, software companies and publications.

16 Chronicle/Spring 1991 75th Anniversary Celebrations
U t>C/ letter people frolicked over fields and down boulevards, visitors
ate barbequed salmon in front of the bookstore, and faculty and staff
pedalled used computers and old books at the S.U.P.E.R. Sale.
What was it? UBC's 75th Anniversary year celebrations. And what a
celebration it was! People came from as close as Point Grey and as far
away as England. How many came? It's impossible to count, but two
events show the tip of the iceberg: 200,000 people came for Open
House, and 5,000 showed up for the S.U.P.E.R. Sale.
The year began with a mass student display of the letters, "UBC" in
February (see the cover of our Spring, 1990 issue), followed by Open
House in March, Discover Summer and Homecoming in September. In
between there were over 400 events and celebrations including a festival
of sports, plays and fine art displays and the Pacific Coast Music Festival
which brought over 3,500 high school musicians to campus for a two day
event.
Homecoming included reunions and a Gala Great Trekker Dinner, this
year honouring Pierre Berton. The Great Trek Relived gathered members of the classes of 1916-27, including 27 men and women who
walked in the Great Trek. They retraced the Great Trek by bus, then
settled in at Cecil Green Park for lunch and a reception.
Also during Homecoming, the Association honoured 75 outstanding
UBC grads. Over 250 alumni and friends drank tea and ate cake on the
back lawn of Cecil Green Park, and applauded these alumni.
The next few pages show a sampling of the good times had by all.
Homecoming Parade (from top, clockwise):
Engineers being bad, as usual; Nursing taking care;
Pharmacy pushing pills (they threw vials of mints to
the crowd); and Law, chasing an ambulance.
Chronicle/Spring 1991 17 18 Chronicle/Spring 1991 Alumni 75th Anniversary Award Winners
On the afternoon of September 23,
1990, the Association held a tea on the back
lawn of Cecil Green Park to honour 75 illustrious graduates of UBC. Of those 75,
fifty were able to attend and, with family and friends, produced a party 250 strong.

Is this the way
most insurance companies
make you feel?
When you need simple facts
and honest answers, you don't
want to be treated like just
another number. You want personal attention. UBC's Alumni
Association understands. That's
why they endorse a term life and

that deals with people instead of
numbers.

Chronicle/Spring 1991 27 z — Books
The Department of Creative Writing:
A quarter century of poetry, drama and prose
®n 1946, so the story goes, Earle Birney {by then a noted poet) was
offered a position at UBC teaching Medieval Literature. He agreed on
the condition that "I have one course I can believe in, the first stone
in a little shelter for the creative student naked in academia." This first
stone was to be a course in creative writing, unimpeded by the normal
pedagogical demands of the English department.
Whether or not the quote and the circumstances are so much university
apocrypha is not important. What is important is that Birney got his course
and, 17 years later, an entire program to go along with it. Two years after that,
in 1965, the Creative Writing department was formed with alumnus Bob
Harlow named chairman. It was the first autonomous creative writing
department in the world.
In the intervening years (Creative Writing celebrated its 25th anniversary
in 1990), some ofthe bright lights of Can. (and other) Lit. have passed through
the department either as students or as teachers. They include: Jack
Hodgins, Ann Ireland, Daryl Duke, Gary Geddes, Andreas Schroeder, George
Bowering, Lake Sagaris, Dennis Foon, Roo Borson and current head George
McWhirter.
Grads from the department have won the Governor-General's Award, the
Commonwealth Poetry Prize, the Chalmer's and British Playwright's Award,
the Seal First Novel Prize, the CBC Poetry Prize, the Atlantic Monthly's
American Short Story prize, and many others.
When possible (and when we get free copies), The Chronicle includes
reviews of work by Creative Writing grads. In keeping with the 25th anniversary of the department, we present three this issue.
Words We Call Home Linda Svendson, Ed. UBC Press, 1990
ords We Call Home is full of poetry, fiction and plays from 69 alumni
I of the Creative Writing department, drawn from the department's 25
year history.
Collecting this work was no easy task, since early departmental
grad records were incomplete. Using the arcane writers' network, Creative
Writing instructor Linda Svendson has done an excellent job of gathering
material from grads all over the world.
The collection features older works such as "Earthquake" by Jack Hodgins,
and "Wolfbane Fane" by George Payerle, and new works such as Jennifer
Mitton's "The Weepers," and 'The River" by Kenneth Dyba.
There are satisfying stories throughout. Genni Gunn's "On the Road," and
Ann Ireland's "The Doppler Effect" introduce us to intriguing, humorous subjects
while Bill Gaston's "Carp" shows a blacker humour. "Marilyn and the Lucky
Penny" is good storytelling by Jill Mandrake, and Andreas Schroeder gives us
"One Tide Over," a story told in a familiar West Coast setting but with a surreal,
menacing undercurrent. "The Stainless Steel Streamliner" by Geoff Hancock will
appeal to anyone who has taken a journey or worked on the railroad.
There is poetry by Morgan Nyberg, Erin Moure, Cynthia MacDonald, E.G.
Perrault, Heather Spears, George Bowering, Andrew Wreggitt, Elizabeth Gourlay, Cathy Ford, Daphne Marlatt and Florence McNeil. Notable among these are
Spear's "Powell Street Bus, Vancouver," which embodies the plight welfare
recipients, desperate but not without hope, and McNeil's "Ghost Town" which
juxtaposes images of giggling tourists with rugged prospectors. Newer works by
Paul Green, Lake Sagaris, Glen Downie, Dona Sturmanis and Richard Stevenson
stand out with their lean language and concern for social contracts. Anyone who
has heard Robert Bringhurst read his poetry will appreciate "Jacob Singing."
Screen and play writing has been a successful part of the program. You'll
enjoy KicoGonzalez-Risso's "Caution: Contents Under Pressure," and "Last Call"
by Morris Panych.
Contemporary authors Sally Ireland, David Evanier, Karen Petersen, Erin
Moure and others disturb the mainstream fringes, dissatisfied with appearances
and obligations.
UBC's creative writers continue to grow in all directions. This anthology is a
digest of UBC's best literary artists. Kate Eliot
Noble Sanctuary Scot Morison,
Doubleday, 1990. $22.95
reative Writing grad Scot Mori-
j son's (MFA'86) first novel,
' Noble Sanctuary, has made
a big splash. It won the 1988
Alberta New Fiction Competition, was
published and distributed by a large
house, and is landing reviews in papers across the country.
Which is all for the good. In these
times of the TV Avar (at this writing the
US-Iraqi war is still vigorous) and political uncertainty in the Middle East,
Noble Sanctuary allows us a personal
view of some of the issues wrenching
that area.
The novel deals with a Vancouver
real estate salesman who falls in love
with a Palestinian woman studying at
UBC. He is absorbed in the West Coast
good life, drives a Beemer, jogs the
Stanley Park Seawall and drinks good
scotch. She, however, is a committed
Palestinian nationalist. When the Israelis invade Lebanon in 1982, she
flees Canada to return to her beleaguered people. Our hero, smitten but
unrequited, chases her there and seeks
her out. He becomes involved with the
war as a medical aid and, slowly, becomes politicized.
The great failing of the novel is in
the characterizations. The hero, Geoff,
is too much a sexist stereotype, and
much ofthe political message gets lost
as we try to rationalize a poorly sketched,
improbable relationship. But the
strength of the novel is its stark description of conditions in Beirut, and
its clear expression of wrongs perpetrated against the Palestinians. The
topicality of the novel compensates
somewhat for the weak characters,
and helps shed light on the problems
ofthe Middle East. CP
The White Line Daniel David Moses.
Fifth House Publishers, Saskatoon
@his second book of poetry by
Daniel David Moses (MFA'77)
is a finely-crafted sequence of
personal observations. If, as
he states, "vision ... is a contagion that
you catch like a cold" then there is no
immunity from the visual virus in each
poem. For Moses, human existence is
part of the landscape, enduring the
forces of nature and the constraints of
society. His poetry offers unique insight into the traditional Canadian
paradigm of the struggle between
humans and their environment. This
book expands on the beguiling chronicle of seasonal poems found in his first
book of poetry, Delicate Bodies, published in Vancouver a decade ago.
28 Chronicle/Spring 1991 Books
Moses sees contemporary society
as alienating its citizens, and praises
aboriginal cultures for the ways in
which they nurture their members. In
such groups, contact is limited to the
clan and therefore all relationships are
more meaningful. Poems such as
"Grandmother of the Glacier" and "A
Shaman Song Predicting Winter" portray characters with a fierce uniqueness and are resolved by an unfailing
unity. Moses has a deep concern for
equality and this viewpoint permeates
his poetry.
These poems link the spiritual and
physical worlds. The white line can be
seen as representing the umbilical cord
of the astral body. There also appears
to be a preoccupation with reincarnation, especially strong in "Song of the
Worm," "Downtown Temperature," "End
of Night," and many others. One tantalizing example is found in the final
verse of "Grandmother ofthe Glacier":
Her body's been swallowed. Ours may be next.
But even though we throw them in, her words
keep surfacing. May ours too be heard from
again — edging some terminal moraine.
The White Line is a fine addition
to contemporary Canadian poetry.

Canadian Poetry Assoc., Vancouver
UBC Guide to Gardening in B.C. The
Botanical Garden, 1990. $49.95
@his magnificent volume on B.C.
gardening, promised for what
seems like ages, is finally
available. It was worth the wait.
The beauty ofthis book (which, at
nearly 700 pages, is as heavy as a
phone book) is its B.C. perspective.
From soil analysis and pest control
through to landscape design and vegetable growing, B.C.'s micro-climates
are taken into account.
Serious gardeners and weekend
putterers alike will find answers to
their questions in this book, and learn
just about everything there is to know
about plants and how to care for them
in B.C. There is simply nothing like
this book on the market.
The section on tree fruits is especially valuable for its information on
proper pruning techniques, and the
chapter on vegetables will make even
occasional gardeners eager to get
clumps of good, dark earth under their
fingernails.
Copies can be ordered from the
Botanical Gardens by calling (604)
882-2492 or by writing the Gardens at
Ste. 248, 2357 Main Mall, Vancouver,
B.C. V6T 2A2.
I Saw Three Chinas by Molly Phillips BA'29, DipEd'30,
Orca, 1990
oily Phillips was born in China in 1909. The history ofthe land of
j her birth, the tumultuous events that took place there over the last
' 80 years, the story of her parents and her own experiences form
the fabric ofthis book. It is an interesting, instructive read.
Molly's father was an electrical engineer who helped set up the
first power station in Canton, and her mother was a teacher in a mission
school. They left China in 1911, but maintained strong links with the
Chinese community in Winnipeg and then Vancouver. The sense of a
connection was never lost.
Molly Phillips graduated from UBC with a teaching degree at the beginning ofthe Depression. She, along with her fiance, found it difficult to find
work in Canada, but because of her education and background, she was
able to obtain a teaching position in Canton. Her fiance followed later. International events, as well as the budding revolution, made staying in China
impossible. In 1939, on leave to Canada, Molly and her husband were
unable to return to China.
Molly, like her parents before her, did not sever her links with the Chinese community once she was back in Canada. In 1974, after years of applying for permission, she began leading tours to China. The second part of
the book deals with some ofthe far-flung places in China she has visited, the
people she has met, and the different aspects of modem Chinese society. She
deals with such issues as the cultural revolution and the student protests
of 1989. She has a deep admiration for the Chinese people, but acknowledges the immense task that faces them.
Her experiences in the three Chinas ofthe 20th Century make fascinating reading, and provide a unique insight into this huge, complex and ever-
changing country. Dale Fuller
