Chairman's remarks and related questions
Dr. Strangway referred to the results of the election of a new
Chancellor and Members of Convocation to serve on Senate for the three-year
term commencing September I, 1987, and extended his personal congratulations
to those elected.
In commenting on the enormous success of Open House, Dr. Strangway
expressed thanks and appreciation for the excellent work done by those
involved.
Dr. Strangway stated that the publication "Community Reports",
circulated for the first time this year, was to be circulated annually and
that suggestions for next year's report would be requested at a later date.
Dr. Strangway drew Senate's attention to the "Throne Speech" and stated
that he thought the comments were very positive with respect to universities
and their role in the province.
In conclusion, Dr. Strangway reported that the Universities Council of
British Columbia would no longer exist after March 31, 1987. He stated
that, consequently, there would be a number of issues to be considered in
terms of the interrelationship between the universities and the Ministry.
The Ministry would, however, be establishinq an advisory committee to which
items will be referred.
In response to a query, Dr. Strangway stated that, at the present time,
he did not have any information on how the operating budget for the three
universities was to be allocated. He stated that the position of the three
university Presidents, however, was that for the coming year the allocation
should be basically historical and that within a few weeks, representatives
of the three universities will be meeting to look specifically at developing
a formula which they hoped would become the basis for future allocations. 8951.

Law not Real Estate Law. It was also pointed out that in the description
of the Matthew J. Waterman Prize, Oral Pathology should read Oral Biology.
In response to a guery as to how recipients are to be selected for the
Clark, Wilson Service Scholarship and the Alexander, Holburn, Beaudin &
Lang Service Scholarship, it was explained that there are several service
scholarships available in the Faculty of Law and that the Faculty selects
the top twenty students eligible for these awards. The twenty firms that
are involved in giving these awards are also involved in interviewing the
students and a match is then established between the student and the
appropriate firm. However, the initial selection is made by the Faculty
of Law.
In response to a query concerning the University of B.C. Alumni Southern
California Scholarship, Dr. Williams confirmed that the award could be
made to a student on admission or in any year of university. However, it
would only be given to a 4th year student if that student were continuing
for a further year and whose home is in Southern California or in the
United States.
The motion was put and carried. 8956.

Reports of Committees of Senate  (continued)
Tributes Committee
In response to a query raised at the January 21, 1987 meetinq of Senate
concerninq clarification of the difference between deferring a degree and
declining a degree, Dr. Dennison stated that the Tributes Committee had
discussed this question and concluded that if a person declined it meant
they refused to accept, and if a person deferred, the committee assumed
this meant to put off acceptance until a future time.
Honorary Degrees - report on revised procedures for the selection of
candidates
Dr. Dennison, Chairman of the Committee, presented the following
report, which had been circulated:
"Background
At the November 12, 1986 meeting of Senate, a motion was passed which
instructed the Tributes Committee to prepare a report proposing
alterations to the current procedures for the selection of candidates
for honorary degrees. Further, the Tributes Committee was requested
to examine the general eligibility criteria and to consider a
procedure by which Senate would receive a brief curriculum vitae on
each candidate for an honorary degree.
At the January 21, 1987 meeting of Senate, an interim report was
presented by the Tributes Committee which included a number of
possible approaches to the procedures. Following comments and advice
expressed on the floor of Senate, and the receipt of written
submissions from Senators, the Tributes Committee met to prepare a
final report.
This report is presented in three parts: (a) the criteria used in
selecting nominations for an honorary degree, (b) the composition of
the Tributes Committee, and (c) the procedures used in presenting the
names of candidates to Senate.
1. Criteria
The Committee has heard very few comments respecting the current
criteria. In general, it is felt that these criteria, approved by
Senate, are broad enough to allow for an adequate ranqe of potential
candidates to qualify for nomination. 8957.
March 18, 1987
Reports of Committees of Senate
Tributes Committee
Honorary Degrees - report on revised procedures for the selection of
candidates
'1. Criteria (continued)
The current criteria read as follows:
The award of an honorary degree is a recognition by The
University of British Columbia of distinguished achievement
or of outstanding service.
Nominees should be distinguished scholars, creative artists,
public servants, persons prominent in the community and the
professions, and others who have made significant
contributions to the life of the University, the Province,
or nationally or internationally.
The overriding criteria for the award of an honorary degree
should be excellence, eminence, and accomplishment.
Recommendation  1:   The  Tributes  Committee  recommends  that  the
current criteria for the award of an honorary degree be reaffirmed.
II.  The Tributes Committee
The Committee agrees with several suggestions from Senate members
that the Tributes Committee should be enlarged to include greater
representation from Senate. In its discussion, the Committee agreed
that an additional five members of Senate should be appointed to the
Committee. The addition of five individuals to the Tributes
Committee will raise the membership to seventeen, which is
approximately twenty percent of the total membership of Senate.
With respect to the "constituents" from which the additional members
should come, the Committee felt that the Nominating Committee of
Senate should make this decision in the light of the backgrounds and
expertise of Senate members as a whole.
Recommendation 2: The Committee recommends that the membership of
the Tributes Committee be increased by five. The Nominating
Committee should be responsible for determining the composition of
the new Tributes Committee. 8958.

Reports of Committees of Senate
Tributes Committee
Honorary Degrees - report on revised procedures for the selection of
candidates  (continued)
" III.  The Procedures for Reporting and Recommending Honorary Degree
Candidates to Senate
The Committee was made aware that a range of opinion is held by
Senate members as to how the present procedures might be changed to
ensure that Senate is properly prepared before it votes on the
selection of candidates for honorary degrees. Most Senate members
recognize that confidentiality is paramount, given the fact that
individuals are being considered without their knowledge and that
circulation of papers containing the names of candidates prior to the
final vote involves a risk of premature disclosure before the
decisions of Senate are taken. The consequences could be
embarrassing to the individual or the University. Nevertheless, some
members of Senate have urged that much greater information and prior
notification about proposed honorary degree candidates are necessary
if Senate is to play its proper role in the process.
The Committee believes that a reasonable compromise is possible and
recommends the following procedure.
Recommendation 3: That at the Senate meeting at which the honorary
degree candidates are presented for approval, an in-camera session be
called at the completion of regular business, or at 9.30 p.m.,
whichever is the earlier. At this time, members of Senate will be
provided with background information on the proposed candidates for
degrees as recommended by the Tributes Committee.
A period of time sufficient to allow adequate review of the
information will be given before the Chairman of Senate calls the
closed meeting to order and invites the Chairman of the Tributes
Committee to propose the formal motion that the list of candidates be
approved.
Finally, given that a new Senate will be established in the coming
Fall, the Committee makes the following recommendation.
Recommendation  4:    The  Committee  recommends  that  the  changes
presented in this report be adopted for use after September, 1987."
Recommendation 1.
Dr. Dennison  )  That the current criteria for the award
Mrs. Fulton   )  of an honorary degree be reaffirmed.
In response to a query, Dr. Dennison stated that the Tributes
Committee had a policy of not offering degrees to active Canadian 8959.

politicians and others, such as active members of granting councils.
However, people who had retired from these positions and had made a
significant contribution were certainly included within the realm of
possibilities.   He  did  not,  however,  think  this  policy  should  be
included in the criteria.
The motion was put and carried.
Recommendation 2.
Dr. Dennison   )  That the membership of the Tributes Committee
Dr. Goldberg   )  be increased by five.  The Nominating Committee
should be responsible for determining the
composition of the new Tributes Committee.
Dr. Spencer pointed out that reference to the Nominating Committee
was unnecessary since the role of that committee is to nominate the
members for all Senate committees.
In amendment:
Dr. Spencer   ) That the sentence "The Nominating Committee
Dr. Birch     )  should be responsible for determining the
composition of the new Tributes Committee."
be deleted.
Carried
In response to a query as to whether the Committee had considered
restricting the number of terms a member of Senate could serve on the
Tributes Committee, Dr. Dennison stated that the ex-officio members (the
Chancellor, President, Registrar and Director of Ceremonies) are
permanent members of all Senate committees and that the membership of
the Tributes Committee and all Senate committees is reconstituted by the
Nominating Committee every three years. 8960.

In amendment:
Mr. Mustard   ) That at least one more student be included in

It was again pointed out that it was the responsibility of the
Nominating Committee to make recommendations for the membership of
Senate committees and that all members of Senate would have an
opportunity to make suggestions through their elected representatives on
that Committee.
The amendment was lost.
The motion, which had been amended to read "That the membership of
the Tributes Committee be increased by five.", was put and carried.
Recommendation 3.
Dr. Dennison  )  That at the Senate meeting at which the
Dr. Tennant   )  honorary degree candidates are presented for
approval, an in-camera session be called at the
completion of regular business, or at 9.30 p.m.,
whichever is the earlier.  At this time, members
of Senate will be provided with background
information on the proposed candidates for degrees
as recommended by the Tributes Committee.

review of the information will be given before
the Chairman of Senate calls the closed meeting

Committee to propose the formal motion that the
list of candidates be approved. 8961.

Recommendation 3.  (continued)
In amendment:
Ms. Arthur    )  That the word "the" be deleted from line 7
Mr. Williamson )  in the first paragraph of the motion.
Ms. Arthur explained that by deleting the word "the", the Tributes
Committee would be presenting to Senate information on proposed
candidates, which Senate would then look at, and Senate would determine
the list of candidates for degrees.
Dr. Spencer pointed out that whether the word was deleted or not was
irrelevant as long as the words  "as  recommended by the Tributes
Committee" remained.
The amendment was lost.
Dr. Spencer asked if the intent of the recommendation was that Senate
would vote yes or no on the list, or did the procedure contain within it
the possibility that Senate might delete one or more names from the list
and vote on the remainder, and also, could names be added to the list.
Dr. Dennison stated that the Tributes Committee had decided that the
names would be put forward as a slate on the understanding that it is
within the powers of Senate, if they choose, to vote seriatim. This
would require a vote of Senate and, if approved, that procedure can be
adopted. However, since the list from the Tributes Committee represents
the Committee's final proposals, no further names would be added. 8962.

Dr. Gaskell felt that the procedures outlined in recommendation 3.
would not provide Senate with the kind of information needed to make an
informed decision on candidates for honorary degrees and, further, that
the recommendation did not allow enough time for Senate to look at the
material and make a decision that same evening.
Speaking in favour of recommendation 3, Dr. Goldberg felt that the
Tributes Committee was the appropriate body to provide Senate with as
much information as possible concerning the candidates for honorary
degrees and that, under the revised procedures, more background
information would be available than had been in the past and also there
would be additional time for Senate to review the material provided by
the Committee.
In amendment:

IN MEMORIAM
GEOFFREY CLEMENT ANDREW (1906-1987)
With the passing of Geoffrey Andrew, this University has lost one of its
last links with the great period of its expansion which occurred after
the Second World War. Geoffrey Andrew was an active witness to U.B.C.'s
transformation from a small provincial university to a major national
centre for teaching, research and public service.
Born in Bayfield, Nova Scotia, Professor Andrew was educated at the
Kings College of Dalhousie University, and at Balliol College, Oxford.
After a teaching career at Upper Canada College, he came to The
University of British Columbia to begin a long period of outstanding
service, first as Assistant to President MacKenzie, and later as Dean
and Deputy President. He served this University from 1947 until 1962
and was a member of Senate for nine years between 1953 and 1962.
Dean Andrew participated in a wide range of public service activities —
Chairman of the Vancouver Branch of the Canadian Institute for Public
Affairs, President of the Vancouver Arts Council, a Director of the
Canadian Institute for the Blind and Director of Community Chest.
Geoff Andrew was a passionate believer in liberal education and a
staunch defender of the role of the arts in society. He was also a
tireless spokesman for greater accessibility to higher education and
gave strong support to the expansion of educational opportunity
throughout the Province of British Columbia. 8964.

IN MEMORIAM
JAMES STUART KEATE (1913-1987)
One of the greatest assets of a modern university is a loyal and active
alumni who bring honour to the institution and represent its interests
in the wider community. James Stuart Keate embodied all of the values
which a university can bestow upon its graduates. His service to The
University of British Columbia continued throughout his long and
productive life.
Born and educated in Vancouver, Stuart Keate graduated with a B.A.
degree in 1935. His active student life became the spark which ignited
his illustrious career as a journalist, publisher and civic leader.
After beginning his working life as a journalist in Toronto, Stuart
Keate served in the navy during World War II and eventually returned to
British Columbia as publisher of the Victoria Times, a post he held for
fourteen years.  Later, he became publisher of the Vancouver Sun.
As a leader in the newspaper field Stuart Keate was respected and
honoured by his colleagues in numerous ways. He was named to the
Canadian News Hall of Fame and honoured by the International Press
Institute and the National Press Club. He was also named an officer of
the Order of Canada in 1978. 8965.

in the Senate continued from 1954 until 1969, a period which also
included six years as a member of the Board of Governors and as an
appointee to the Canada Council. The University recognized his
exceptional service with the award of an honorary degree in 1985.
Stuart Keate was an outstanding public figure, a successful businessman
