continue his or her education beyond the level of the secondary school.
A sum of money has been set aside to aid University students who can
offer proof of scholastic ability and financial need. This assistance is
available to regular students in any year and any faculty. Students will
receive 60 per cent, of the total assistance as a bursary and 40 per cent, as a
loan. The loan is repayable commencing one year after the applicant
enters gainful employment, and will not bear interest until that time.
Application forms may be obtained from the Department of Education,
Technical Education Branch, Victoria, B. C., and must be returned by
August 15th, 1946. W$t UnfoersWp

HISTORICAL SKETCH
The creation of a university in British Columbia was first
advocated by Superintendent Jessop in 1877, but it was not until
1890 that the Provincial Legislature passed an act establishing
a body politic and corporate named "The University of British
Columbia." In 1891 this act was amended to require that a meeting of the Senate be held within one month after the election of
the Senators by Convocation. The Senators were elected, but a
quorum did not assemble on the date fixed by the Chancellor, Dr.
I. W. Powell, of Victoria. Thus the first attempt to establish a
university in British Columbia failed.
However, some of the work normally done in a university was
begun in 1894, when an act was passed which permitted the
affiliation of high schools in the Province with recognized Canadian
universities. In 1899 Vancouver High School was affiliated with
McGill University in order to provide First Year work in Arts,
and took the name of Vancouver College. First Year work in
Arts was offered by Victoria High School when it became Victoria
College by affiliation with McGill University in 1902. In the same
year Vancouver College undertook the Second Year in Arts.
In 1906 an act was passed incorporating the Royal Institution
for the Advancement of Learning of British Columbia, which, in
the same year, established at Vancouver the McGill University
College of British Columbia. The scope of the work undertaken
by this college was gradually increased until at the time it was
taken over by the University of British Columbia it was giving
three years in Arts and Science and two years in Applied Science.
When the University of British Columbia opened in the autumn
of 1915, both the McGill University College of Vancouver and
Victoria College, which since 1907 had been a part of it, ceased
to exist.
Definite steps to establish the University were taken by Dr.
H. E. Young, Minister of Education, in 1907, when he introduced
a "University Endowment Act." This act was followed in 1908
by an act establishing and incorporating the University of British
Columbia and repealing the old act of 1890-1. This act, with its
subsequent amendments, determines the present constitution of the
University.
As authorized by an act passed by the Provincial Legislature
in 1910, the Lieutenant-Governor in Council appointed a Site
Commission to decide upon a site for the proposed University. The
Commission held its first meeting on May 25th, 1910, in Victoria,
and after a thorough examination of the Province recommended
the vicinitv of Vancouver. In the autumn the Executive Council Historical Sketch 21
decided to place the University at Point Grey—the site which the
Commission had named as its first choice. In 1911 the Legislature
nassed an act authorizing the Lieutenant-Governor in Council to
grant this site to the University. The grant was increased in 1915,
°j that it now consists of 548 acres at the extremity of Point Grey.
The waters of the Gulf of Georgia form more than half the
boundary of the University campus. A tract of some 3,000 acres
of Government land immediately adjoining the site, and lying
between it and the City of Vancouver, has been set aside by the
Government in order that University revenue may be provided by
its sale or lease.
In February, 1912, the Hon. H. E. Young, Minister of Education called for competitive plans which should include plans in
detail for four buildings to be erected immediately, and a block
plan showing all the proposed buildings on the campus. Messrs.
Sharp and Thompson, of Vancouver, B. C, were the successful
competitors, and were appointed University Architects.
The first Convocation, held on August 21st, 1912, chose Mr.
F. L. Carter-Cotton as first Chancellor of the University. When
he retired at the end of two terms in 1918, Dr. R. E. McKechnie
was elected Chancellor, and served continuously until his death,
May 24th, 1944. On September 18th of that year the Hon. Eric
W. Hamber was elected by acclamation to fill out Dr. McKechnie's
unexpired term, and on March 7th, 1945, again by acclamation,
for the ensuing regular term.
In March, 1913, the Lieutenant-Governor in Council appointed
as first President of the University F. F. Wesbrook, M.A., M.D.,
C.M, LL.D. On his death, October 20th, 1918, L. S. Klinck, Dean
of the Faculty of Agriculture, was appointed by the Board of
Governors as Acting President, and on June 1st, 1919, as President. When he retired, June 30th, 1944, he was succeeded by
Dr. Norman A. M. MacKenzie.
From its opening in 1915 till the Summer of 1925, the University
carried on its work in temporary quarters on part of the site of the
General Hospital in Fairview.
(j0nstruction work was commenced on the Science Building at
tiie permanent site in Point Grey in 1914, but was interrupted
Tq9qUSe °^.war conditions. Work on this building was resumed in
fh i •an<^ *n ^e au*umn of the same year the contract was let for
the Library. These two buildings, which are of stone and are
proof, conform closely to the original plans as prepared by the
architects in 1914. The initial units of these structures, as well
as nine other buildings which are of a less permanent character,
were completed in 1925, and at the beginning or Session 1925-26
e University commenced work in its new quarters. 22 The University of British Columbia
The inauguration of the new buildings was held on October 15th
and 16th, 1925, on which occasion honorary degrees were granted
by the University for the first time.
THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNIVERSITY
The Constitution of the University is governed by the British
Columbia University Act, B.C.R.S. 1936, c. 299, and Amending
Acts, which provide
That the University shall consist of a Chancellor, Convocation,
Board of Governors, Senate, Faculty Council, and the
Faculties; that the Convocation shall be composed of the
Chancellor, the Senate, all persons who became members
of the Convocation prior to the first day of January,
1919, all persons holding academic appointments within the
University and whose names are added to the roll of
Convocation by the Registrar of the University from time
to time upon instructions from the President, and all
persons who have become graduates of the University; that
the Chancellor shall be elected by the members of the
Convocation; that the Board of Governors shall consist of
eleven members—the Chancellor, who shall be the Chairman thereof, the President, three persons elected by the
Senate from among its members, and six members appointed
by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council; that the Senate shall
consist of: (a) The Chancellor, and the President of the
University, who shall be chairman thereof; (b) the deans
and two professors of each of the Faculties elected by
members of the Faculty; (c) three members to be appointed
by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council; (d) the principals
of the normal schools; (e) one member elected by the high
school principals and assistants who are actually engaged in
teaching; (f) one member to be elected by the governing
body of every affiliated college or school in this Province;
(g) fifteen members to be elected by Convocation from the
members thereof; (h) one member elected by the British
Columbia Teachers' Federation.
It is further provided that the University shall be non-sectarian.
The University Act gives the University full powers to grant
such degrees in the several Faculties and different branches of
knowledge as the Senate may from time to time determine. It
reserves for the University the sole right in this Province to confer
degrees, except in Theology, and it expressly enacts that "No other
university having corporate powers capable of being exercised
within the Province shall be known by the same name, nor shall
any such university have power to grant degrees." LOCATION AND BUILDINGS
Location
The University is situated on the promontory which forms the
western extremity of the Point Grey Peninsula. On three sides it
is bounded by the Gulf of Georgia. The site comprises an area of
548 acres, of which approximately one-half is campus. In all
directions appear snow-capped mountains, strikingly rugged and
impressive.
Buildings
The buildings, planned to meet the requirements of fifteen
hundred students, are of two classes, permanent and semi-permanent. The former were designed by the University architects,
Messrs. Sharp and Thompson, the latter by architects of the
Department of Public Works of the Provincial Government. The
permanent buildings have been erected in the location originally
assigned for them; the others in the quadrangle designated as
"unassigned" in the original plan. By utilizing the "unassigned"
area for the semi-permanent buildings, all the locations intended
for future expansion have been left available.
The entire mechanical equipment of these buildings was
designed after a close study had been made not only of present
requirements, but of the ultimate development of the institution.
This consideration accounts for the. fact that only a part of the
present equipment is permanent. After a careful survey of the
whole situation, a forced hot water system was found to present
advantages that made its adoption advisable. Direct radiation with
a system of warmed air supply and extraction for ventilation is
used to take care of the heat losses in the buildings. A separate
system of ventilation is installed for all sanitary conveniences, and
a specially constructed system for fume closets. The various
services throughout these buildings, such as hot and cold water,
distilled water, gas and steam for laboratory purposes, compressed
air, etc, with the necessary apparatus, are all of a modern type.
An attempt has been made to reduce vibration and noise to a
minimum by installing all moving apparatus on floating slabs, with
a further insulation of cork.
Library
The University Library consists of more than 160,000 volumes.
It includes representative works in all the courses offered by the
University, and a growing collection of books in other subjects.
It is notable for its high percentage of the transactions and pro- 24> The University of British Columbia
ceedings of learned societies, and its long runs of scholarly periodicals—the materials essential to research.
It is one of three Canadian Depositories of the Library of
Congress Catalogue, a collection of 1,750,000 printed cards. The
catalogue is kept fully up to date, and between 50,000 and 60,000
new cards, issued each year, are interfiled as received.
The Library also possesses a College Art Teaching Equipment
Set, organized and presented by the Carnegie Corporation of New
York. This consists of about 185 specially selected works covering
the fine and applied arts, and of more than 2,000 reproductions,
photographed or coloured, illustrating these.
Another notable gift to the University, made by the Carnegie
Corporation of New York, is the College Music Set. This now consists of over 1,800 records representing musical development in all
its forms, with reproducing instruments specially designed for a
large auditorium, and a collection of books on musical theory and
history, together with a large number of orchestral scores. The
Set is regularly used for student recitals, and to illustrate lectures
on the appreciation of music.
The Library receives regularly over 900 serial publications.
The book collection is classified throughout on the Congressional
system.
While the Library is primarily for the staff and students of
the University, its resources are available to those of the general
public engaged in research or special study, and who make personal
application to the Librarian for the privilege of its use. Such
persons are known as "extra-mural readers." By order of the
Board of Governors a fee of $1.00 per calendar year is charged
such readers. In addition, they pay necessary mailing costs, a
deposit being required from those unable to call personally for
books loaned.
The Library also administers the book collection of the University
Extension Department. This consists of about 1,600 volumes, and
is increasing as the Department's work develops.
The Extension Department's collection also includes more than
4,000 plays, for the service of dramatic groups and theatre students
throughout the Province.
The Extension Department's book and play collections are available to those who have registered with the Department.
The University is deeply indebted to all who have made gifts to
the Library. These have been both valuable and numerous. Their Location and Buildings 25
number prevents detailed acknowledgment, but recognition should
be made of a number of sets of transactions, and complete or partial
sets of scientific periodicals, given by societies and friends of the
University. The most interesting and valuable of these gifts are
listed in the annual report of the Library to the Senate.
Museums
These consist of (1) the Burnet Collection of South Seas and
other ethnological specimens, housed on the main floor of the
Library; (2) the Geological and Geographical Museum, in Room
116, Applied Science Building; (3) the Zoological Museum, housed
in various rooms of the Applied Science Building.
The Burnet Collection was made by the late Frank Burnet, who
donated it and arranged it in its present home. It contains groups
of artifacts representative of the ethnology and archaeology of
various parts of the Pacific Basin. The largest unit, 1170 catalogued
items, is from the islands of the South Pacific, but Malaysia and
North and South America are also strongly represented. Doors
are open from 4 to 6 hours five days a week throughout the year.
The Geological and Geographical Museum has been developed as
a medium for the visual instruction of students and visitors. It is
closely coordinated with the Department of Geology and Geography, but is used freely by students of sociology and history, as
well as by art students from city studios. The exhibits include the
Dr. H. M. Ami collection of pre-historical artifacts from Les Eyzies,
France; the Buttimer collection of Indian baskets; the Michell
Pierce collection of Eskimo clothing and utensils; the Peach and
Home geological model of the Assynt Mountains, Scotland; suites
of fossils, minerals, birds, and mammals, relief map-models, and
many other things of interest.
The Zoological Museum, containing material representative of
both the vertebrate and the invertebrate fields, is housed mainly in
the northern wing of the Applied Science Building. Owing to lack
of room in the museum, the collection is scattered in hallways and
rooms wherever space can be found. The collection of marine invertebrates of the northeastern Pacific Ocean is one of the largest
extant. A collection of 12 beautifully mounted heads of B. C.
game, donated by Messrs. G. L. and R. J. Pop, hangs on the walls
of Room 100, Applied Science Building, and a fine suite of African
game horns, donated by Mr. W. F. Byers, hangs in Room 120 of
the same building.
The collections are freely available to students and research
institutions. 26 The University of British Columbia
Gymnasium
This building was completed in 1929 and presented to the University by the Alma Mater Society. The playing floor has an area
of 6,000 square feet, and is surrounded on all sides by tiers of
benches which will accommodate 1,400 persons. In the space behind
these seats are located the dressing rooms, drying rooms, locker
rooms, and shower baths. On the main floor of the building are
located the, offices of the instructors in physical education, a training and first-aid room, a store room, and a kitchen. Equipment for
physical education activities and indoor athletics has been provided.
Stadium and Playing Fields
In accordance with the original landscape plan prepared by
Mawson in 1913, the main playing field area, consisting of about
16 acres, is situated east of the East Mall and north of the University Boulevard. Development work was started early in January,
1931, as an aid in alleviating the acute unemployment situation,
and was made possible by funds provided chiefly by subscriptions
from the Faculty, students, and friends of the University. Much
of the labour was obtained through the courtesy of the Relief Department of the City of Vancouver. Twenty thousand cubic yards
of soil and gravel were used to bring the track and field to grade.
In addition to the main playing field of the stadium, there are
three other full-size fields and a number of smaller areas set aside
for outdoor games. Another playing field is being prepared east
of the Brock Memorial Building.
The first section of the grandstand for the stadium was erected
in the summer of 1937 on the west side of the main playing field. It
is a covered, reinforced concrete structure, 126 feet long, and provides seating accommodation for 1,600 spectators. On either side
are two wooden bleacher sections of 500 seats each. The plan provides for the ultimate continuance of the main section around the
field, and for this reason the present bleachers are so constructed
as to be movable. Underneath the present main stand there are
locker rooms, dressing rooms, showers, ticket booths, drying rooms,
and a room for special activities, such as boxing, handball, weight-
lifting, basketball, and fencing. Funds for the construction of the
grandstand were provided through a $40,000 bond issue sponsored
by the Alma Mater Society. The Provincial Government has undertaken to assume the annual charges for interest on the bonds.
Additional Accommodation Provided in 1946
The special activities room in the stadium referred to above was
completed and equipped early in 1946. In addition, an army hut, Location and Buildings 27
located north of the Brock Memorial Building, was supplied to
relieve the congestion in the gymnasium. This hut will be used
primarily for dancing classes and recreational activities.
The Brock Memorial Building
In connection with the celebration of the twenty-first anniversary of the opening of the University in 1936, it was decided
that a memorial be established by general appeal to students,
graduates, and friends of the University throughout Canada. A
committee representing all branches of the University decided
that the memorial should take the form of a student union building,
dedicated to the memory of the late Dean of Applied Science,
Reginald W. Brock, and Mrs. Brock, by whose tragic deaths as a
result of an aeroplane accident the University suffered a great loss.
The original fund for the construction of the building was
subscribed by relatives of Dean and Mrs. Brock, friends of the
University throughout Canada and the United States, alumni
and students of the University, and former colleagues of Dean
Brock. The balance of the amount required to complete construction was provided by the students and the Board of Governors
in cash and through a bond issue of the Alma Mater Society.
Furnishings for the building were provided from a fund raised
over a period of years by the Women's Union Building Committee
of the University.
The building is situated adjacent to the playing fields and
gymnasium. In it are located the offices of the Alma Mater Society
and various clubs and student activities. The building contains,
also, common rooms, lunch and tea rooms, and accommodation for
social activities. In architectural design and exterior finish, it
harmonizes well with the other buildings on the campus.
The Brock Memorial Building was dedicated in January, 1940.
Forest Products Laboratories
The Forest Products Laboratories of Canada, Vancouver Laboratory, which is maintained by the Forest Service of the Department
of Mines and Resources, Canada, occupies three buildings provided
and kept up through a co-operative agreement between the
University and the Dominion Government.
Plan of Campus
The plan at the back of the Calendar shows the buildings which
have been erected and indicates the nature of their construction. 28 The University of British Columbia
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Session
The academic year begins on the first of September and ends
on the last day of August. The Winter Session is divided into two
terms—the first, September to December; the second, January to
May. The Summer Session consists of seven weeks' instruction in
July and August. For Admission to the University, see page 34,
and for Registration and Attendance, see page 36.
Courses of Study
The University offers instruction in each of the four faculties,
Arts and Science, Applied Science (including Nursing), Agriculture, and Law, leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor
of Commerce, Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Home Economics,
Bachelor of Social Work, Bachelor of Applied Science, Bachelor of
Science in Forestry, Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, and
Bachelor of Laws. In the Faculty of Arts and Science a course is
offered leading to a Teacher Training Diploma. Advanced courses
of instruction and facilities for research leading to a Master's
degree are offered in each faculty except Law. Admission to these
advanced courses, or to the privileges of research, does not in itself
imply admission to candidacy for a higher degree.
In the session 1946-47 the University proposes to offer one year
of work leading to a degree in Pharmacy and also work leading to
a degree or diploma in Physical Education.
In each case the details are subject to the consideration of the
Senate of the University. Full information will be issued in a
supplementary bulletin as soon as possible.
Academic Dress
The undergraduate's gown is black in colour and of the ordinary
stuff material, of ankle length, and with long sleeves and the yoke
edged with khaki cord. The graduate's gown is the same, without
cord.
The Bachelor's hood is of the Cambridge pattern, black bordered
with the colour of the degree obtained; the Master's hood is the
same, lined with the distinctive colour. The Bachelor of Arts hood
has a border of University blue; the Bachelor of Commerce hood
differs from that of Bachelor of Arts by the addition of a white
cord; the Bachelor of Education hood has a border of white edged
with a cord of University blue. The hood for the degree of Bachelor
of Home Economics has a border of turquoise, and that for the General Information 29
degree of Bachelor of Social Service has a border of magenta. The
colour for the degree of Bachelor of Applied Science is scarlet red;
for the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture it is maize. The hood
for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Forestry differs from that
of the Bachelor of Applied Science by the addition of a green cord.
University Health Service
In 1925 the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, upon the recommendation of the Provincial Health Officer, appointed a Medical
Health Officer for the University Area.
In the Fall of 1927 the Provincial Health Officer added to the
University Health Service a Public Health Nurse, thus commencing
the continuous operation of a full-time local Health Department on
the campus and University Endowment Area.
In November, 1936, the University Endowment Area became
part of the Metropolitan Health Area under the direction of the
Metropolitan Health Committee, thus affording the University the
extra services and facilities enjoyed by the larger organization,
which provides through its Health Units a Public Health Service
to the entire Greater Vancouver Area. The University Area is
now Health Unit 3A of the Greater Vancouver Area.
The University Health Service is at present housed in Hut No. 2,
just west of the Auditorium Building. The original furniture and
first aid equipment for this office were the generous gift of the
Graduating Class of 1927. |
Functions of the University Health Service
On admission to the University each new student must report
to the Health Service Office to make an appointment for a medical
examination. All ex-service students are required to fill in the
medical history card, obtainable at the office. Such students are
not required to have a University medical examination until at
least nine months after discharge unless special examination is
indicated. Students registered in the Second Year (ex-service
excepted) must report to make an appointment for a re-check
medical examination to determine their capacity for physical exercise. Those students who have been away from the University for
a year or more are also required to report. At the time of the
examination the student is informed of any physical defect, given
advice, and urged to have remediable conditions corrected. Evidence, satisfactory to the medical officer, of successful immunization
against smallpox is required. Preventive vaccinations and inoculations are given by the Health Service.
The Medical Officer is available at specified hours for consultations with students on health problems. 30 The University of British Columbia
One of the most important tasks of the Health Service is the
control of communicable disease. Much valuable time can be
saved the student body by the prompt and immediate application
of preventive measures in checking the spread of communicable
Tuberculosis Control
Because tuberculosis occupies first place as a cause of death of
persons of college age, it is given special attention. Therefore the
University Health Service, with the co-operation of the Provincial
Board of Health, Tuberculosis Division, and the B. C. Tuberculosis
Association through its Christmas Seal fund, provides for a chest
X-ray. This project is of very great value, for when tuberculosis
is diagnosed and treatment instituted before physical breakdown
occurs, the patient is saved from years of invalidism and perhaps
death, and his fellow students are protected from infection.
Rules Governing Communicable and Other Illnesses
Students developing any illness or suffering from any injury
while on the campus should apply for first aid to the University
Health Service. This is particularly required if the student
develops any illness of a communicable nature, including the
common cold.
Students developing any illness or suffering any injury while
at home, boarding house, fraternity house, etc., are required to
report the same to the University Health Service. The development of any communicable disease in a University Student or
any person living in the same house, must be reported by the student
to the University Health Service without delay. Students exposed
to a communicable disease may be permitted, by special order of
the Medical Health Officer, to attend the University for a prescribed
period, despite the exposure.
Such students shall report daily (or oftener, at the discretion
of the Medical Health Officer) to the University Health Service
for such prescribed period. Failure to so report will result in
immediate exclusion from the University.
Students absent on account of illness must report to the Health
Service Office before attending lectures. If a doctor has been
in attendance the student is to bring a medical certificate from
him. If the student is absent from an examination he must present
a medical certificate, which is to be in the Health Service Office
within one day after the termination of the examination period.
The dean of the faculty is notified of absence from classes or exam- General Information 31
inations because of illness. A medical certificate must show the
nature and the period of the disability. Medical report forms may
be obtained from the Health Service Office.
Summer Session
The University Health Service provides a health service for
students attending the Spring and Summer Sessions. Details of
this service may be found in the Announcement of the Summer
Session.
Ex-service students attending the University for the first time
must report to fill in the University medical history card.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
The Programme of Physical Education includes three main
divisions:
(1) Physical Education activity programme.
(2) Intramural sports and recreation. 1^
(3) Professional education in teacher training and recreational
leadership, limited to members of the teacher training class
and members of voluntary instructors' classes.
In September, 1946, the University proposes to begin to give
work in Physical Education leading to a degree or diploma, the
details being subject to the consideration of the Senate.
Physical Education Requirements for Men and Women
Two hours weekly of Physical Education activity courses are
required of all students in First and Second Years except ex-service
personnel and members of military units operating on the campus.
Students who enter with Senior Matriculation or equivalent, with

parents and students on matters pertaining to living conditions,
vocational guidance, and other questions that directly affect the
social and intellectual life of the women students.
Board and Residence
Women
The Dean of Women undertakes the inspection of all accommodation offered for women students. Lists of available boarding
houses and housekeeping rooms may be secured by applying to the
Dean of Women's office. Men and women students are not permitted to lodge in the same house, unless they are members of
the same family or receive special permission from the Senate.
Women students under twenty-five years of age are permitted to
occupy suites in apartment houses only when accompanied by some
older person. Any residence accommodation arranged by women
students for themselves must also meet with the approval of the
-jJean of Women, who should be informed of such plans in advance.
The cost of good board and lodging is from $35 to $40 a month. The University of British Columbia
Room and breakfast can be secured for $20 a month. Meals may
be obtained in the Cafeteria and the Brock Memorial Building $
light refreshments are available at different points on the campus.
For the session 1946-47 there will be accommodation for about
50 women at Acadia Camp. The dining room at the camp is under1
the supervision of a trained dietitian. Accommodation is in single,
double, or triple rooms, and the rates charged are $38 or $40 a
month. Request for reservations should be made to the Dean of
Women's office. Preference will be given to returned service women,

the Fort huts should apply to the Department of Extension at the
University. The charge for room and board is $40 a month, and
about 330 students can be accommodated. Preference will be given
to returned service men.
General Conduct
The University authorities do not assume responsibilities which
naturally rest with parents. This being so, it is the policy of the
University to rely on the good sense and on the home training of
students for the preservation of good moral standards.
ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY
All enquiries relating to admission to the University should be
addressed to the Registrar.
The accommodation for students in the University is limited.
The University, therefore, reserves the right to limit the attendance.
The Faculty of Applied Science reserves the right of selection
and admission of students entering the First Year of the Combined
Course and the Second Year of the Double Course in Arts and
Science and Nursing.
The University reserves the right to limit the registration in, or
to cancel, any of the courses listed. Limitation may be imposed if
the numbers desiring any course are found to be too large for the
lecture rooms and laboratories available for that course, or for Admission to the University 35
the number of instructors in the department concerned, or for the
equipment and supplies which can be obtained. Certain courses
may be cancelled if the numbers of instructors in the departments
concerned prove to be inadequate to offer all the courses listed.
1. Except under special circumstances, no student under the
age of sixteen is admitted to the University. For admission to the
First Year of the course in Nursing (or the Second Year of the
Double Course in Arts and Nursing) a student must be eighteen
years of age, and for admission to the course in Social Work,
twenty-one years of age.
2. Candidates for admission to the courses in the First Year of
the Faculty of Arts and Science or the Faculty of Agriculture
and to the course in Nursing in Applied Science are required to
pass the University Entrance (Junior Matriculation) examination
of the Province of British Columbia or to submit certificates showing that they have passed an equivalent examination elsewhere.
Special regulations are prescribed for admission to courses in
Applied Science, and are given under the heading of Admission in
the Applied Science section of the Calendar.
3. Students who have passed the Senior Matriculation examination are admitted to the courses of the Second Year in the
Faculty of Arts and Science. Students who have partial Senior
Matriculation standing will be granted credit in the First Yei.r in
each subject in which they have made 50 per cent, or over.
4. A student who has a failure in a subject of the University
Entrance examination standing against him will not be admitted
to the University.
5. The University Entrance and Senior Matriculation examinations of the Province of British Columbia are conducted by the
High School and University Matriculation Board of the Province.
This Board consists of members appointed by the Department of
Education and by the University. The requirements for these
examinations are stated in the publication, Requirements for
University Entrance and Senior Matriculation, issued by the University. The courses of study for the various grades in the high
schools are given in the Programme of Studies for the High Schools,
issued by the Provincial Department of Education.
6. Certificates or diplomas showing that a candidate has passed
the matriculation examination of another university will be
accepted in lieu of the University Entrance or Senior Matriculation
examinations if the faculty concerned considers that the examination has covered the same subjects and required the same standards. If, however, the examinations cover some but not all of 36 The University of British Columbia
the necessary subjects, the candidate will be required to pass the
examinations in the subjects not covered.
7. A candidate who wishes to enter by certificates other them a
Matriculation or University Entrance certificate issued in British
Columbia should submit to the Registrar the original certificates.
If he wishes these returned to him, he must present also a copy of
each certificate for record at the University. He should under no
circumstances come to the University without having first obtained
from the Registrar a statement of the value of the certificates he
holds, as these may lack one or more essential subjects, or the work
done in a subject may not be adequate, or, again, the percentage
gained may not be sufficiently high. Moreover, it must be remembered that a certificate may admit to one faculty and not to
another. When an applicant's diploma or certificate does not show
the marks obtained in the several subjects of the examination, he
must arrange to have a statement of his marks sent to the Registrar
by the Education Department or university issuing such diploma
or certificate.
8. A student of another university applying for exemption from
any subject or subjects which he has already studied is required
to submit with his application a calendar of the university in
which he has previously studied, together with a complete statement of the course he has followed and a certificate of the standing
gained in the several subjects.* The faculty concerned will determine the standing of such a student in this University.

1. There are four classes of students:
(a) Graduate students—students who are pursuing courses of
study in a faculty in which they hold a degree, whether
they are proceeding to a Master's degree or not. Students,
however, who are proceeding to a Bachelor's degree in
another course in the same faculty in which they hold a
degree, or in another faculty, will register as undergraduates.
(b) Full undergraduates—students proceeding to a degree in
any faculty who have passed all the examinations precedent
to the year in which they are registered.
(c) Conditioned undergraduates—students proceeding to a
degree with defects in their standing which do not prevent
their entering a higher year under the regulations governing Examinations and Advancement of the faculty in
which they are registered.
(d) Partial students—students not belonging to one of the
three preceding classes. (See 7, below.) 38 The University of British Columbia
2. All students are required to furnish the information necessary
for the University records, to enrol for the particular classes which
they wish to attend, and to sign the following declaration:
'' I hereby accept and submit myself to the statutes, rules, regula.
tions, and ordinances of The University of British Columbia, and
of the faculty or faculties in which I am registered, and to any
amendments thereto which may be made while I am a student of
the University, and I promise to observe the same."
In the information furnished for the University records, students
are requested to state what church they propose to make their place
of worship. This information is available for any of the city
churches desiring it.
3. No registration for undergraduate students of the regular
Winter Session will be accepted after Monday, September 30th,
without the special permission of the faculty concerned, and a
candidate so accepted for registration may be required to take
fewer courses than the regular year's work.
4. The Registrar is empowered to register all duly qualified stu-:
dents. Doubtful cases will be dealt with by the faculty concerned.
5. Students doing work in two academic years will register in
the lower year and fill out their course cards in such a way as to
make clear which courses are required to complete the lower year.
6. Students desiring to make a change in the course for which
they have registered must apply to the Registrar on the proper
form for a "change of course." Except in special circumstances,
no change will be allowed after the second week of the session. If the
application is approved by the faculty concerned, the Registrar
will give the necessary notifications.
7. Partial students, who are not proceeding to a degree, are not
normally required to pass an examination for admission, but before
registering they must produce a certificate showing that they have
satisfied the Dean and the heads of the departments concerned
that they are qualified to pursue with advantage the course of
study which they propose to undertake.
8. Students are required to attend at least seven-eighths of the
lectures in each course that they take. Admission to a lecture or laboratory and credit for attendance may be refused by the instructor
for lateness, misconduct, inattention, or neglect of duty. Absence
consequent on illness or domestic affliction may be excused only by
the dean of the faculty concerned, and medical certificates or other
evidence must be presented. // the absence occurs during the session,
the student must appear in person, with the certificate, at the Uni- Registration and Attendance 39
versity Health Service immediately on return to the University,
and before attendance upon class work. The University Health
Service will examine the person concerned and will immediately
forward the certificate, with report thereon, to the dean of the
faculty. If the absence occurs during the examinations, the
certificate must be sent to the Health Service within one day after
the termination of the examination period. A medical certificate
must show the nature and the period of the disability. Medical
report forms may be obtained from the Health Service office. In
cases of deficient attendance students may (with the sanction of
the dean and the head of the department concerned) be excluded
from the Christmas or the final examinations in a course; but, in
the case of a final examination, unless the unexcused absences
exceed one-fourth of the total number of lectures in a course, such
student may be permitted to sit for supplemental examination.
(See regulation in each faculty in reference to Examinations and
Advancement.)
9. All candidates for a degree must make formal application
for graduation at least one month previous to the Congregation at
which they expect to obtain the degree. Special forms for this
purpose may be obtained from the Registrar's office.
10. All students new to this University (First and other years)
and all students registered in the Second Year must report to the
Student Health Service for a medical examination.

faculties concerned, unless otherwise provided for by special
resolution of Senate.
The award of a medal, prize, scholarship, or bursary is final when
announced by the University.
3. Medals, scholarships, prizes, bursaries, and loans are open to
Winter Session students only, unless otherwise stated, and marks
obtained in Summer Session courses are not taken into account in
awarding them.
4. If the award of a medal, scholarship, or prize is based on an
examination, no award will be made to a candidate who obtains
less than 75 per cent, of the possible marks.
5. To be eligible for a General Proficiency Scholarship a student
must take the full year's course, which must include the required
courses for the year in which he is registered, except that in the
Faculty of Arts and Science and in Agriculture other subjects
may be substituted for the required courses if credit for these has
already been obtained.

of units will be determined on the basis of the required number of
units to be chosen in a manner most advantageous to the students.
6. Unless otherwise specified in the Calendar notice, no student
may enjoy the proceeds of more than one scholarship in the same
academic year, and the scholarships thus relinquished will be
awarded to the candidates next in order of merit. Winners of more
than one scholarship will be given recognition in the published lists.

be given in Senate of any proposed change and that the donor or
his representatives, if living, shall be consulted about the proposed
change.
13. Limited funds are provided from which loans, not to exceed
$100, may be made to undergraduate students who have completed
satisfactorily two years' University work and who can show that they

SCHOLARSHIPS ANNOUNCED BY
THE UNIVERSITY BUT AWARDED BY
OTHER INSTITUTIONS
The Rhodes Scholarships
A Rhodes Scholarship is tenable at the University of Oxford and
may be held for three years. Since, however, the majority of Rhodes
Scholars obtain standing which enables them to take a degree in
two years, appointments are made for two years in the first instance,
and a Rhodes Scholar will be awarded a third year only if he
presents a definite plan of study for that period satisfactory to
his College and to the Rhodes Trustees.
In special circumstances Rhodes Scholars may be allowed, if the
conditions are approved by their own College and by the Rhodes
Trustees, either to postpone the third year, returning to Oxford
for it after a period of work in their own countries, or to spend
it in graduate work at any university of Great Britain, and in
special cases in other parts of the world (excluding, in the case of
Canadian Rhodes Scholars, Canada or the United States).
The value of a Rhodes Scholarship is £400 a year. At most
Colleges, and for most men, this sum is scarcely sufficient to meet
a Rhodes Scholar's necessary expenses for term-time and vacations,
and Scholars who can afford to supplement it by, say, £50 a year
from their own resources are strongly advised to do so. The cost
of the voyage to and from England must be borne by the Scholar.
A candidate to be eligible must be a male British Subject, with
at least five years' residence, with the intention of permanent residence, in Canada. At the time of application the candidate must
be of such an age that he will have passed his nineteenth and not
have passed his twenty-fifth birthday by October 1st, 1947, and
must be unmarried. He must have completed at least two years
at a Canadian university,
A candidate may apply either in the province of residence or
in the province in which he has attended university.
In the election for 1946 (held in the fall of 1945) certain of the
rules regarding eligibility, viz. age, marriage, were eased for candidates who had been in war service. At the time of the University
Calendar going to press it is not known if the same relaxation will
aPply to the 1947 election, and candidates should make enquiry
from the Registrar at the University or the local Secretary of the
Rhodes Trust.
In that section of the Will in which he defined the general type
of scholar he desired, Mr. Rhodes mentioned four groups of qualities,. 82 The University of British Columbia
the first two of which he considered most important:
1. Literary and scholastic attainments;
2. Qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, syn%
pathy, kindliness, unselfishness, and fellowship;
3. Exhibition of moral force of character and of instincts t«
lead and to take an interest in his fellows;
4. Physical vigour, as shown by fondness for and success iii
outdoor sports.
Some definite quality of distinction, whether in intellect, charac
ter, or personality, or in any combination of these, is the most important requirement for a Rhodes Scholarship, and it is upon this that
Committees will insist. Success in being elected to office in student
organizations may or may not be evidence of leadership in the true
sense of the word. Mr. Rhodes evidently regarded leadership as
consisting in moral courage and in interest in one's fellow men quite
as much as in the more aggressive qualities. Physical vigour is an
essential qualification for a Rhodes Scholarship, but athletic prowess
is of less importance than the moral qualities developed in playing
outdoor games. Poverty does not give a special claim to a Scholarship. The best candidate should be appointed regardless of his
financial circumstances.
Each candidate for a Scholarship is required to make application
by October 31st, 1946, to the Secretary of the Committee of Selection
of the province in which he wishes to compete. Full information
may be obtained from Mr. W. T. Brown, c/o Odium Brown Investments Ltd., 470 Granville Street, Vancouver, B. C.
The Exhibition of 1851 Scholarship*
Under the revised conditions for the award of the Exhibition
of 1851 Scholarship in Science, the University of British Columbia
is included in the list of universities from which nominations for
scholarships allotted to Canada may be made. These scholarships
of £350 per annum are tenable, ordinarily, for two years. Scholarship winners with special needs may receive additional money
grants during the period of their tenure. The scholarships are
granted only to British subjects of not more than 26 years of age
who have already completed a full university course and given
evidence of capacity for scientific investigation. The scholarships
are open to graduates of any university who have spent not less
than three years in the study of science. Detailed information may
be obtained from the Registrar's office.

FACULTY
OF
ARTS AND SCIENCE
1946-1947 FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCE
The degrees offered in this Faculty are Bachelor of Arts (B.A.),
Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com.), Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.),
Bachelor of Home Economics (B.H.E.), Bachelor of Social Work
(B.S.W.), Master of Arts (M.A), and Master of Social Work
(M.S.W.). _
In addition, a course is provided leading to a Diploma in
Teacher Training.
COURSES LEADING TO THE DEGREE OF B.A.
The degree of B.A. is granted with Honours or as a General
Course degree. A General Course degree will be granted on completion of courses amounting to 60 units chosen in conformity
with Calendar regulations. No distinction is made between General
Course and Honours students in the First and Second Years,
except as regards prerequisites for later work, but in the Third and
Fourth Years there are special requirements for Honours students.
Students holding the degree of B.Com. from this University may
proceed to the degree of B.A. in one year by completing 15
additional units of work open to students in their Third and
Fourth Years, provided that their additional units are chosen so
as to complete the requirements for the B.A. degree.
It is possible to obtain the B.A. and B.Com. degrees concurrently
in six years on completion of 90 units chosen so as to cover the
requirements for both degrees. Students entering Second Year
Commerce not later than September, 1946, may complete the
double course in five years under the old regulation.
Double courses are offered in Arts and Science and Applied
Science leading to the degrees of B.A. and B.A.Sc, and B.A.
and B.A.Sc. (in Nursing), and in Arts and Science and Agriculture leading to the degrees of B.A. and B.S.A. For the regulations governing these, see the section Double Courses at the end
of the Calendar.
Credits obtained at the Summer Session (see University Summer Session) may be combined with Winter Session credits to
complete the 60 units required for the degree of B.A. The degree
of B.A. will not be granted within three years from Senior
Matriculation nor within four years from University Entrance.
The maximum credit for Summer Session work in any one
calendar year is 6 units; and the maximum credit for work other
than that of the regular Summer and Winter Sessions is 3 units
in each academic year, and 15 units in all subsequent to Senior
Matriculation or First Year Arts. 90 Faculty of Aets and Science
No credit will be granted for work done at other universities
the same academic year in which work has been attempted at th
University, whether in the Summer Session or in the Winter Sessio
or otherwise. Extra-mural work done at other universities prid
to registration at this University may be accepted, if approved
the Faculty, but may not exceed 3 units in respect of any ob
academic year or 15 units in all subsequent to Senior Matriculatior
If a student is granted credit for extra-mural work taken elsewhere
the number of units which he may take at this University withou
attendance at a Winter or Summer Session will be correspondingly-]
reduced.
Pending the establishment of a department of Music in the
University of British Columbia, six units of undergraduate credit
towards a B.A. degree may be granted for music to a student whd
holds at the time of graduation any one of the following diplomas:
Associate of the Toronto Conservatory of Music (A.T.C.M.), Licentiate of McGill Conservatorium (L.Mus.), Licentiate of the Royal
Schools of Music, London (L.R.S.M.), Licentiate of Trinity College
of Music, London (L.T.C.L.), or an equivalent diploma or certificate from other schools of Music which may be accepted by the
University of British Columbia. If the student's work in music is
done concurrently with the usual University work of the Third and
Fourth Years, the credit will be assigned in the Fourth Year; if a
student enters Third Year University having already acquired the
diploma, the credits will normally be assigned evenly between the
Third and Fourth Years. No credits for music will be granted in
the First and Second Years and no student may get credit for music
until the other requirements for the BA. degree have been satisfied.
Candidates for the degree of B.A. are advised to attend at least
one Winter Session, preferably that of the Fourth Year.
Courses are described in terms of units. A unit normally consists
of one lecture hour (or one continuous laboratory period of not less
than two or more than three hours) each week throughout the
session, or two lecture hours (or equivalent laboratory periods)
throughout a single term.
Note 1. Students in any of the affiliated Theological Colleges
who file with the Registrar a written statement expressing their
intention of graduating in Theology will be allowed to offer in each
year of their Arts course, in place of optional subjects set down in

Winter and Summer Sessions; and no other additional work may
be taken in the same academic year.
B. Honours Curriculum
1. Students whose proposed scheme of work involves Honours
courses must obtain the consent of the departments concerned and
of the Dean before entering on these courses; and this consent will
normally be granted only to those students who have a clear
academic record at the end of their Second Year with at least
Second Class standing in the subject or subjects of specialization.
(Cards of application for admission to Honours courses may be
obtained at the Registrar's office.)
*See prerequisite for Chemistry 304 and 305. 96 Faculty of Arts and Science
2. Certain departments offer Honours courses either alone or
in combination with other departments. For Honours in a single
department, at least 18 of the requisite 30 units must be taken in
the department concerned, and at least 6 outside it. For Honours
in combined courses, at least 12 units are required in each of two
subjects. Particulars of these courses are given below.
3. Candidates for Honours, with the consent of the department
concerned, may offer a special reading course (to count not more
than 3 units) in addition to the reading courses offered above under
General Course Curriculum, section 5.
4. All candidates for Honours, at the option of the department
or departments concerned, may be required to present a graduating
essay embodying the results of some investigation that they have
made independently. Credit for the graduating essay will be not
less than 3 or more than 6 units. The latest date for receiving
graduating essays in the Second Term shall be the last day of
lectures; and the corresponding date for the Autumn Congregation
shall be October 1st.
5. Candidates for Honours are required to take at the end of
their Fourth Year a general examination, oral or written, or both,
as the department or departments concerned shall decide. This
examination is designed to test the student's knowledge of his
chosen subject or subjects as a whole, and is in addition to the
ordinary class examinations of the Third and Fourth Years.
6. Honours are of two grades, First Class and Second Class.
Students who, in the opinion of the department concerned, have
not attained a sufficiently high ranking, may be awarded a General
Course degree. If a combined Honours course is taken, First Class
Honours will be given only if both the departments concerned
agree; and an Honours degree will be withheld if either department
refuses a sufficiently high grade.
7. It is hoped to offer the following Honours courses during the
session 1946-47. But if it is found impossible to do so, the University reserves the right to refuse new registrations in any of them.

COURSE LEADING TO THE DEGREE of B.Com.
Students entering the University in the session beginning
September, 1946, and thereafter, who have not completed the
First Year of Arts and Science or its equivalent or who do not hold
an honourable discharge from His Majesty's armed services will
be required to complete a full five years of work as prescribed by
Calendar regulations before being granted the degree of B.Com.
Students who are eligible to enter the Second Year of Commerce in the session 1946-47 as prescribed in the Calendar announcement of 1945-46 or who hold honourable discharge from His
Majesty's armed services will be permitted to proceed to the degree
of B.Com. on completion of courses amounting to 60 units chosen in
conformity with Calendar regulations (i.e. upon completion of four
years of work including First Year Arts and Science or its,
equivalent).
Honours standing will be accorded those students who obtain am
average standing of 80 per cent, in the Fifth Year and 75 per 106 Faculty of Arts and Science
cent, in the Fourth Year, and who do not fail in* any subject taken
in the Fourth and Fifth Years.
For the regulations governing the double course leading to the
degrees of B.A. and B.Com. see the section Double Courses at the
end of the Calendar.
The regulations as to Summer Session credits, number of units
to be taken in any academic year, etc., apply to courses leading to
the degree of B.Com. in the same way as to courses leading to the
degree of B.A.
As the student progresses in his course he will be expected to
do an increasing amount of field work in the business community
available to him. In this way he will learn to work on his own
initiative and will acquire a first hand knowledge of business
practice.
Periodic written reports are an important part of the different
courses, and students are warned that demands upon their time
will be sustained throughout the course.
Students proceeding to the degree of B.Com. are required so
to arrange their courses that they will be registered in Commerce
subjects over a period of at least three years. Any departure from
this regulation must have the approval of the Head of the Department of Commerce and the Dean.
First Year
A course in First Year Arts and Science or the equivalent.
Second Year
The following courses comprising 15 units:
English 200 or 205; Mathematics 201 or 202, or an additional
course in the language taken in the First Year (students who contemplate taking advanced work in Statistics, Economics 435, should
take Mathematics 202); Economics 200; Commerce 191; elective,
3 units, preferably Commerce 251.
Students will not be permitted to register for the Third Year in
Commerce unless they have secured a standing of 60 per cent.
in Economics 200.
In view of the importance which rightly attaches to the capacity
for adequate and clear expression in writing, Regulation 12, on
page 127 of the Calendar, will be rigidly enforced at the end of
the Second Year, and reasonahle legibility in handwriting will be
insisted upon Coi'RSK Leading to the Degree of B.Com. 107

language option will be required to take in the Fourth Year an
additional course in the language selected.
Students in the Fourth Year should not under any circumstances plan to carry more than the prescribed fifteen units of
work. If for any reason they do not enter the Fourth Year with
a complete Third Year they must expect to attend an extra year
in order to satisfy the requirements of graduation.
