Concise, informative and\ngenuinely human, it has come to be regarded as the authoritative source of\ninformation on all matters relating to\nstudent activities.\nIt would appear that the three main\npurposes of all such guide books are,\nto welcome the freshmen cordially, to\nadmonish them solemnly and to acquaint\nthem fully with their duties and responsibilities, personal as well as corporate. The present Handbook conforms\nto type. In it will be found words of\nwelcome, words of admonition and a\nbody of information relating to activities\nwhich receive little more than mention\nin the calendar\u00E2\u0080\u0094-in srtiort the accummu-\nlat d wisdom of preceding generations\nof students in this University.\nI have therefore much confidence in\nleaving admonition to those who are\nyounger and instruction regarding student organizations to those who are better\nqualified to give it. Mine is the easier\nand more pleasant task of extending a\nhearty welcome to all students, new and\nold alike. And in welcoming you all to\nthe company of those whose chief purpose is the pursuit of learning, the one\nhope I would express is that in all your\nadjustments to University life knowledge may\" ever be \"the handmaiden of\nwisdom.\nL. Si KLINCK. UNIVERSITY OF B. C.\nJOHN CRAIG OLIVER\nPRESIDENT ALMA MATER SOCIETY\nSTUDENT HANDBOOK\nTo the Men and Women\nof the Class of '30\nThis handbook is Intended primarily\nfor you as freshmen. It occupies the\nsame place in student activities as the\nUniversity Calendar in the academic\nbranch of your college education. Study\nyour handbook carefully and choose\nyour outside activities with as much\ncare as your prescribed courses and\nthen throw yourselves wholeheartedly\ninto both.\nAt the same time bear in mind that\nyou are members of the Alma Mater\nSociety. As freshmen you constitute\nthe largest single class In the University and your Influence should be felt\nin all matters of student policy. As\nyou assume this responsibility, the\nnecessity of a good understanding of\nthe principles of student self-government will be apparent to each of you.\nNothing is as deadening as an apathetic\nfreshman class\u00E2\u0080\u0094it can vitiate the best\nefforts of the rest of the University\nIn any line of endeavor.\nAbove all, remember that it is the\nduty of every member of the Alma Mater\nSociety to maintain a high scholastic\nstanding. Without that, outside activities become worse than useless, while\nby combining the two, you will be in a\nposition to better the Alma Mater Society as well as yourselves.\nMay you, the class of '30, make much\nof your opportunity.\nJ. C. OLIVER,\nPres. A. M. S. UNIVERSITY Oi; IV C.\nKla-How-Yah!\nIn the Chinook jargon, \"kla-how-yah\"\nis the single word of welcome and is,\ntherefore, equivalent to any friendly\ngreeting in English. \"Kla-how-yah\" was\nadopted at the University to become the\ntraditional salutation among its students; but. although the word and its\npurpose have been recognized and accepted by students, the greeting has\nnever generally been employed. It was,\nhowever, incorporated last year into one\nof our yells; and efforts were made at\nthe same time to make the use of the\nword popular among undergraduates.\n\"Kla-how-yah\" is too rich in association\nwith the early history of our province,\ntoo appropriately ours, in a word, too\nBritish Columbian, to be lost to us\nGreet fellow-students with \"Kla-how-\nyah;\" it takes the place of an introduction.\nSTUDENT HANDBOOK\nGeneral Information\nLOST AND FOUND\u00E2\u0080\u0094The University\nBook Store is the official Lost and\nFound Bureau on the campus.\nMAIL\u00E2\u0080\u0094Mail is received twice daily\non the campus.

UNIVERSITY OF B. C.\nHistorical Sketch\nIn 1890 the Provincial Legislature\npassed an Act establishing a body politic\nand corporate named \"The University of\nBritish Columbia.\" No material progress was made, however, until 1894,\nwhen an Act was passed which permitted\nthe affiliation of high schools in the\nProvince with recognized Canadian Universities.\nIn 1899 Vancouver High School was\naffiliated with McGill University in\norder to provide first year work in Arts,\nand took the name of Vancouver College. First Year work in Arts was offered by Victoria High School when it\nbecame Victoria College by affiliation\nwith McGill University in 1902. In the\nsame year Vancouver College undertook\nthe Second Year in Arts.\nIn 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. In\n1915 the University of British Columbia\nwas opened and the McGill University\nCollege of Vancouver and Victoria College which was a part of it, ceased to\nexist.\nDefinite steps to establish the University were taken by Dr. H. E. Young,\nMinister of Education, in 1907, when he\nIntroduced a \"University Endowment\nAct.\" This Act was followed in 1908\nby an Act establishing and incorporating the University of British Columbia\nand repealing the old Act of 1890-91.\nSTUDENT HANDBOOK\nThis Act with its subsequent amendments, determines the present constitution of the University.\nA site commission appointed in 1910\nrecommended the vicinity of Vancouver\nand in the folowing year the Point Grey\nsite was granted to the University. The\ngrant now consists of 548 acre3 at the\nextremity of Point Grey. The waters\nof the Gulf of Georgia form more than\nhalf the boundary of the University\nCampus. A tract of some 3000 acres of\nGovernment land immediately adjoining\nthe site and lying between it and the\nCity of Vancouver, has been set aside\nby the Government in order that University revenue may be provided by sale\nor lease.\nThe first Convocation, held on August\n1st, 1912, chose Mr. F. L. Carter-Cotton\nas first chancellor of the University.\nIn March, 1913, the Lieutenant-Governor-\nin-Council appointed as President of the\nUniversity, F. F. Wesbrook, M.A., M.D.,\nCM., L.L D. On April 4th, 1918, Dr.\nR. E. McKechnie the present Chancellor\nwas elected. On the death of President\nWesbrook October 20th, 1918, L. S.\nKlinck, Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture was appointed Acting President\nand on June 1st, 1919, President.\nFiom its opening in 1915 till the summer of 1925, the University carried on\nits work in temporary quarters on part\nof the site of the General Hospital in\nFairview\nConstruction work was commenced on\nthe Science Building at the Point Grey\nsite in 1914, but was interrupted because\nof war conditions. Work on this building was resumed in 1923 shortly after\nthe great Student Campaign. The Science\nBuilding and Library aa well as nine UNIVERSITY OF B C\nother buildings were completed and\nready for occupancy in the fall of 1925.\nThe inauguration of the new buildings\nwas held on October 15th and 16th, 1925,\non which occasion honorary degrees\nwere granted by the University for the\nfirst time.\nSTUDENT HANDBOOK\nOrganization of the\nStudent Body\nThe Students' Council is the governing body, its nine members being elected\nby the students late in the Spring term.\nThis body meets every Monday night\nduring the term to discuss all motions\nfor student welfare. The Presidents of\nthe Men's and Women's Undergraduate\nSocieties, the Presidents of the Men's\nand Women's Athletic Societies and the\nPresident of Literary and Scientific, represent definite bodies of student opinion.\nThese members bring up matters relative\nto their own subsidiaries, but are expected to know and discuss matters outside their own spheres.\nEach of the subsidiary clubs submits\na budget early in the fall to its own\ngoverning body, which in turn submits\nit to the Councii through the club president. Budgets are then allotted by\nCouncil. In addition to club budgets,\nspecial grants may be made at the discretion of the Council.\nEach club has its own executive which\nis elected by undergraduates interested\nin the activities of that club. .\nThe Publication Board is a semi-independent body, having no representation\non Council, though the editor holds an\n\"A\" position. This seat was taken off\nthe Council last year in order that the\nBoard may be freer in its criticism of\npolicies. UNIVERSITY OF B. C.\nStudents' Council\nBon. Fresident\nDr. L. S.
