She was born in Ashcroft in 1903\nand educated in Vancouver, graduating from UBC in 1923 with First Class Honours in\nEnglish and History. She also took part in the Great Trek of 1922, and became a\ncontributing writer of prose and verse, and later a Features Editor, for the student\npaper the Ubyssey. 7869.\nWednesday, October 13, 1982.\nReport of the Tributes Committee\nMemorial Minutes (continued)\nFollowing graduate work leading to an M.A. degree in 1924 at the University of\nToronto, she taught in the English Department at UBC, and later at the University of\nToronto, where she married John Creighton in 1927.. She and her husband taught\ntogether for a year at Bennington College in Vermont, coming to Vancouver in 1938\nwhen John Creighton was appointed to the English Department at UBC. The post-war\nincrease in enrolment saw her teaching again. At the same time she began the\nwriting of radio scripts and broadcasting of book reviews which pointed the way to a\nsecond career when she retired from teaching in 1949, a career that later no doubt\nhelped her to bear the loss when John Creighton died in 1977.\nIn the years that followed retirement from teaching Sally Creighton not only\nserved nine years on the Senate of UBC and a term on the Board of Governors, she\nalso steadily enlarged her activities as writer and critic and commentator for both\nradio and television. Her brilliance in these fields and her skills as an executive led\nto her becoming president of the B.C. branch of ACTRA, vice-president of its\nNational Council, and the recipient of a life membership presented to her \"for\ndistinguished services to the performing arts\". Over those years she also contributed\nto local and national broadcasts over CBC in the field of education, and helped as a\nvolunteer on many charitable organizations such as the Community Chest and Red\nCross, receiving the Red Cross Medal in 1946.\nSuch a record is witness to the creative energy and social concern, the intellectual\nand imaginative powers, of this remarkable woman. They were evident still in the\nlast years of her life, when in spite of difficulties and discomfort she undertook the\neditorial work and indexing required to see the book of a Toronto friend through the\npress. Even more impressive, however, were the qualities of mind and character, the\ncheerfulness and courage and continuing zest for life, the wit and humour, that saw\nher through the last year and more of increasing pain and physical weakness. She will\nbe widely missed and long remembered.\nTo her son Denis and daughter-in-law Joan, and to the members of the larger\nfamily, the Senate extends its deepest sympathy.\nDean Larkin ) That the memorial statement for Kathleen Sally\nChancellor Clyne ) Murphy Creighton be spread on the minutes of\nSenate and that a copy be sent to the relatives of\nthe deceased.\nCarried\nEARLE DOUGLAS MacPHEE\nEarle Douglas MacPhee, who passed away on September 25, 1982, was born in the\nvillage of Lower Millstream, King's County, New Brunswick in 1894.

In 1956, he was appointed the first Dean of the new Faculty of\nCommerce and Business Administration, a position he held until his retirement in\n1963. In 1950 he was also made honorary bursar of the University, and in I960 Dean\nof Financial and Administrative Affairs.
