Retirements under li.nnuity Plan.

J~ssociate Professor E. G. ~1athesont who had been avalued member of the professorial staff in the Department ofCivil Engineering since the organization of the University, wassuperannuated after twenty years' service.

Mr. Fo Dallas, Bursar, under whose long and efficientadministration this University established for itself the uniquereputation of never having incurred a deficit, was retired underthe annuity plan.

QlJituaries.

The UniversitY's'present status and future accomplishmentswill be determined by the quality of life of the men and women whocomprise its staff, or who are most intimately associated with itin the family and social life of the University community.

Professor H~Nellis Thomson, Professor of Metallurgy

Professor Thomson's personality, his deep knowledge ofhis subject, and his rare qualities as a teacher made him asbeloved in the lecture room as his wide technical experience madehis professional opinion sought and respected among metallurgistsboth in Canada and in the United States.

Reverend Principal Vlilliam Hu~h Vance.

In the passing of Principal Vance, the Senate of theUniversity of British Columbia lost a charter member of Convocationwhose concern for the University was equalled only by his devotionto the College which his brilliant mind conceived and over whosedestinies he presided as its first Principal until the time ofhis death.

Dr. Rep;inald VI.Brock, Dean 01' Applied Science.

The announcement 01' the tragic death of Dean Brock cameas a terrible shock to his many friends in all parts of Canada,indeed to friends throughout the scientific world.

Dean Brock's intimate association with the Universityfrom the date of its inception; his intimate knowledge of thenatural resources of the province; his enthusiasm for his subject;

4.Obituaries -continued.

his versatility; his untiring energy and his ability to inspirehis students, resulted in the training of a select body of menwhose achievements were a credit alike to h~self and to theUniversity in whose service he spent more than twenty years ofproductive effort.

In his passing the University has lost an outstandingscientist, an inspiring lecturer, and a staunch, warm-heartedfriend.

Mrs. Brock's passing so shortly after that of herillustrious husband, increased our sense of crushing loss andleft us 1rlthout words to express our sorrow.

Honourable Mr.Justice lPrederick G.T.Lucas.

On August 27th, the Honourable Mr. Justice FrederickG.T.Lucas was appointed a member of the Board of Governors. Beforethe newly appointed Board met, however, 1~. Justice Lucassuocumbed to a sudden illness. In his passing, the Board wasdeprived of the oounsel of an esteemed colleague Whose keenintellect, broad sympathies and wide experience admirably qualifiedhfm for the responsible position to which he had just beenappointed.

T_hep£.!. J.- ~i~holBonScholarships.The University received a most generous gift from Dr.

Francis John Nicholson in the form of an endowment of $22,000.00

6.

to provide two annual scholarships of $,00.00 each for graduatestudy and research. One of these scholarships is open to Honoursgraduates in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering, the other tograduates in Geology.

Recipients must be British subjects and graduates ofthe University of British Columbia. These scholarships are tenableeither at the University of British Columbia or at any other approvedUniversity.

Library of Congress Depository Cata!o~~.

The most valuable gift received during the yeer was theDeposi tory Catalogue of the Library of Congress of Viashington, D.C.This gift consists of 1,350,000 reference cards and is valued at$54,000000. To the original list of references as presented, newcards are being added at the rate of almost 1,000 a week.

Vfuile this generous benefaction constitutes a veryimportant addition to the reference and research facilities of the

University, it is also a gratifying recognition of the standing ofthe Library of this institution.

.To provide for the installation of the necessary equip-ment,

and to enable a beginning to be made on the ~iling of thisnotable gift, the Board of Governors made a special appropriationof ~~6,ooo.oO.

~_ane Be Garden~d -1=-~~.

In August, the Chancellor of the University, Dr.R.E.McKechnie, formally accepted from Mr. Ko Ishii, His ImperialJapanese Majesty's Consul in British Columbia, the gift of abeautiful ~apanese Garden, the central feature of which is anornamental Japanese Lantern of carved stone. This appropriategift was made possible by the joint effort of the JapaneseAssociations and Japan Society in Vancouver.

The purpose of the gift is to commemorate the servioesrendered by the late Dr.Inazo Nitobe in fostering friendly relationsbetween Japan and Canada.

This semi-exotic garden, which symbolizes in a mosteffective manner the spirit of'this great internationalist, isalready one of the beauty spots of the campus.,,"

7.

Memorial Book and RepositorZ.

This year, the Faculty Association presented to theUniversity a Book of Remembrance in which are recorded the namesof the deceased members of the Faculties of the University ofBritish Columbia, and of the teaching staffs of the AffiliatedColleges, who have died while in the service of their respectiveinstitutions or after retirement.

The selection of materials and the binding of the bookwere performed by Associate Professor E. G. Cullwick, and theilluminating was done by 1~ 0 J e Roy Ogston of Vancouver. Therepository was designed by the University Architects, MessrsSharp and Thompson, ffi1d was executed by the University's cabinet-maker. The memorial and the repository, which are works ofunusual beauty, were unveiled by His Excellency, The RightHonourable Vere Brabazon Ponsonby, Earl of Bessborough, Governor-General of Canada.

Gifts.

During the year, an unusually large number of othergifts have been received by the University. As the mere listingof these by name would occupy a number of pages, and as officialacknowledgment of them has been given elsewhere, ~eaifiareference to these gifts is not being made in this report.

Special Bursary ~n~.

At the opening of the session, the Board of Governorsmade available the sum of f~5, 000.00 to provide bursaries forstudents who were unable to continue their studies withoutfinancial assistance. As the result of previous experience,the basis of eligibility for such assistance was broadened toinclude Junior and Senior Matriculants as well as those studentswho had completed t,¥o years of ,¥ork at the University. Fifty-four students received bursaries ranging from ~25.00 to $150.00according to need.

The policy 0: the University with respect to specialbursaries is still on an experimental basis. There can be nodoubt, however. that in the circumstances which have prevailedsince the inauguration of the experiment, the granting of bursarieshas proved of invaluable assistance to many deserving students.

8.

In March a conference was held in Victoria to discussa suggested plan of co-operation between the University of BritishColumbia on the one hand and the Connaught Laboratories (Universityof Toronto), and the Provincial Board of Health of British Columbiaon the other hand.

Later in the session the plan was approved by the Senateand the Board of Governors of the University of British Columbia,and by the other negotiating bodies. The arrangement was tocontinue for one year from October 1st, 1935, and the time of theappointee under whose direction the work was to be conducted wasto be divided equally among the three contracting parties.

After the adoption of this plan, the name of the Depart-ment of Bacteriology was changed to the Department of Bacteriologyand Preventive Medicine.

It is hoped that, on the expiration of the time indicated,arrangements may be made to extend the period of the undertaking.

Co-operation with the pominiog, De~artE!ent of .A.gricult~~.

During the year, the co-operative agreement between theDominion Department of Agriculture (Experimental Farms Branch).and the University as represented by the Department of Agronomy,has been continued and extended. The investigations ,~ith softwheat, which have been conducted for several years and which havebeen financed in part by the Cereal Division, will probably beconcluded next season. The continuance of the researches withalfalfa. which have been made possible by generous financialassistance from the Division of Forage Crops, is another importantco-operative undertaking to'~ards which the Dominion ExperimentalFarms have contributed their full share.

!PPlied Science's "Open House."

Early in February, the Engineering Society of the Facultyof Applied Science sponsored an "Open House" for the generalpublic.

Over four thousand visitors viewed with interest andappreciation the work of the various Departments, especially thedemonstrations illustrating recent scientific discovery andresearch.

9.

Ca).npus Improvement and Develop~ent.

For a number of years no attempt was made to maintainthe campus on a scale or in a condition at all comparable vvith thestandard set a decade ago. The result '~s that the lawns deteriorated,the flo'~ers, shrubs and trees were neglected, and the uncultivatedareas adjacent to the improved portion of the campus became infestedwith v{eeds or covered with a dense growth of young forest.

During the period under review, a marked improvement hasbeen effected in the appearance of the grounds. Certain of the moredeteriorated lawn areas have been broken up, fertilized, and reseeded;other areas have been renovated by top dressing and fertilizing;trees and shrubs have been given more skilled attention; considerableboulevarding has been carried out; walks have been laid down, andrough lands adjoining the lawns have been cleared, swmmer fallowed.and in some cases reseeded.

This modest beginning at the heavy task of restoring thecampus to something of its former beauty was made possible by aspecial grant by the Board of Governors.

University Extension has long constituted a part, thougha very minor part, of the policy of tho University of British Columbia.Under

the University Extension Committee, which was a Committeeappointed by the President a policy was developod which graduallyexpanded until 1932, when through such Extension being placod on aself-supporting basis, the scope of operations was severely restricted.Nevertheless, during the current year, 304 extension lectures weregiven with a total attendance of over 32,000 persons.

In the fall of 1933, t~e Carnegie Corporation of NewYork generously made a grant of ~50,OOO.OO to each of the fourWestern Universities in Canada, to enable them to initiate somenew and significant work which would have a stimulating effect onthe morale of the institution.

After giving careful consideration to the many projectswhich were submitted by the Faculties, the Senate and the Board orGovernors decided to make available ~30,OOO.OO of this grant for theorganization and establishment of work in University Extension onan experimental basis. Up to the present, all the expenses inconnection 1~ th this undertaking havc been defrayed from CarnegieCorporation funds.

10.

University Extension -continued.

In deciding upon the kind of program to be adopted, theUniversity resolved to build, so far as practicable, according tothe needs and wishes of the people in different parts of theProvince. A survey committee of three, therefore, held personalconferences with representative groups in about ninety centresand, in addition, corresponded with about 3.50 Farmers' D.nd Vlomen'sInstitutes.

The response wns immediate and enthusiastic. It wasfound that there was n widespread desire for University Extensionwith definite interest in upwards of forty fields or specialtopics. Eager, inquisitive men and women from the farms. thevillages and tho towns who left school at an early age and who havesince developod fi desire for learning, manifested a keen interostin the proposal and offcred their fullest co-operation.

So tmprc"ssed werc the mcmbers of the Committee with theresponse of the up-country that they recommended, should sufficientfUnds not be available to moot tho demands of tho entiro province,that Vancouver be sacrificed for the benefit of the moro remotedistricts which are inclinod to feel at prosont that they arecut off fromUnivorsity influence and hence, in same places, havecome to regard the University as a Vancouver institution.

Formal action with respect to the report of the SUrveyComnittee was not taken by the Governing Bodies of the Universityduring the period under review.

Vnorganized Servic~s.

As in previous years, numerous requests have beenreceived by certain of the Departments for technical advice andfor specific information on a wide range of subj ects. Many ofthese requests cannot be dealt with satisfactorily by letter.Sometimes they necessitate a personal visit; at other times alaboratory analysis must be made if any help is to be given.To meet the demand for this form of service is becoming increasinglydifficult. Moreover, these re~ests are not confined to a fewDepartments or to a single Faculty. The problem has become aUniversity problem.

Vfhile this service affords an excellent opportunity formembers of the staff to keep in closer touch 'than would otherwise

11.

Unorganized Services -continu~d.

be possible with those who are engaged in developing the resourcesof the Province, it has become evident that if the University isto continue to meet these demands without loss to the regularstudents, the professorial staff must be increased or else aseparate corps of workers must be engaged for this purpose. FUrther,it would seem advisable that a limited amount of money be madeavailable each year to cover the travelling expenses of thosemembers of the teaching staff who are called upon to bear thegreater part of this voluntary service.

Limitation of Re~istrat!2n.

In 1931, legislation was enacted empowering the Boardof Governors to determine the number of students Who would beadmitted to the University. Owing to the limited accommodationwhich was available at the time, the Board of Governors felt, inview of the rapid increase in registration over a period of years,that if the interests of the best students were to be safeguarded,the Governors had no option but to determine the maximum regis-tration on the basis of the capacity of the lectUre rooms andlaboratories. In accordance with this decision, the maximumregistration in Arts and Science and in Agriculture was fixed at500, in Teacher-Training, at 60, and in First Year Nursing andHealth, at 15. The following year the Board of Governors passeda regulation whereby limitation, with respect to the Second Yearof Applied Science, l~u1d become effective as soon as 120 qualifiedapplicant s had registered.

As the result of the marked decrease in attendance atthe University for several years following these decisions,- adecrease which was due, in the main, to causes other than that oflimitation-, congestion was greatly relieved. During the pastsession, however, there has been a marked increase in the numberof students who have enrolled~ From this it would appear thatlimitation, much more drastic, relatively, than that now in force,will soon become a necessity unless steps are taken ~ediatelyto provide adequate accoIrmlodation not only for the students nowenrolled, but also for the normal increase in registration whichthe iIrmlediate future is certain to bring.

12.

BuildinR Requirements.

As has been indicated under 1'Limitation," enrolmentis once more rapidly overtaking accommodation. Already congestionhas become so great in a number of Departments as adversely toaffect the quality of the instruction.

This situation cannot continue to be met, even fairlysatisfactorily, by the appointment of additional instructors andassistants, by the purcrhase of duplicate sets of equipment inthe sciences, or by acquiring additional copies of referenceworks in the library. Recourse has been had to these expedientsto the virtual limit of their efficiency. By forming indefensiblylarge classes, and by perpetuating unjustifiab~e overcrow~ing,

..the Uni'Versity my o-ontiDlle to ~a~on for a year or two longerwithout the effects of these disabilities becaming apparent to thegeneral public; but the solutiDn of the problem lies either in

-drastic ltmitation~ or else in providing accommodation adequateto meet the needs of an ever-increasing number of young men and

.women who desire to a-ame to the UniversitYQ .

Respectfully submitted.

REPORT OF THE DEAN OF. THE FACULTY

OF ARTS AND SCIENCE.-

The Faculty of Arts and Science, as wall as theUniversity as a whole, suffarod a severo loss in July whcnDr. R. W. Brock was killed in an aeroplane accident. He wasHead of the Department of Geology and Geography as well as Deanof the Faculty of Applied Science. He had boon Head of thoDepartment since its inccption, and was 1argcly rcsponsible inmaking it one of tho most oQtstanding Departments of Goo10gy intho Dominion. His advicc r,nd counsel in the r.ffv.irs of thoFaculty of Arts and Scionco will bo groc.t1y misscd. Apprecintionsof hi s life and work p.ro rccordcd olsowhoro in tho minutos ofthe F~.cultios nnd Governing Bodios of tho Univcrsity.

Thc incrce.sc in the registrr. tion, which VJill bo notedelsewherc, required extrp. p.ssiste.nts r.nd gren t difficulty w~scxpericnced in an offort to provide orrico r.ccommod~. tion. Rc-ference must be me.de to the inr.deque.cy of Common Rooms, especiallyfor men. As soon ~.s sui table office spp.ae ar.n be found olsewhorc,the men's upper common room, now used for offices, should be re-stored to the students. This is particularly urgent as the Librarydoes not begin to provide room where students may study when theyare not at lectures or laboratories. It is suggested that con-sideration be given to the feasibility of making the auditoriumavailable as a place for supervised study during certain periods,particularly at times when so many students are unable to get roomin the Library.

Certain changes were made in the Department of Educationwhich provided that work could not be taken in the undergraduatecourse which would be covered, in whole or in part. in the TeacherTraining Course. There is a growing demand among teachers thatprovision be made to grant the M.A. degree with the major inEducation.

The course in Social Service was strengthened and the workfor Social Service Diploma extended to throe Y0ars from JuniorMatriculation instoad of two as formorly.

The Extra-Sessional Classes and the Summer School wereboth well attended. The increase in tho number of Grad~ates, intho Summer Sossion particularly, should be notcd. It is hopedthat a wider range of options in the Summer School may bc providodand, if possible. that there may be greater certainty that courseswill be given when anno~nced.

20.Tho Extra-Sessional Classes provide mora or lQSS

adoquately for tho noeds and domands of toachors in the vicinityof Greater Vancouver. Arrangements for Directed Reading Courseswere made to meet, in part at least, the needs of teachers throughouttho Province who are unablc to attend tho Extra-Sossional Classos.Final approval of such coursos, howovor, could not be obtaincd intimo to offer any of thom for tho yor.r undor roviow. At. tho timoof writing this roport, Novomber 1935, n Diroctod Roe.ding Coursoin History lla we.s begun e.nd 103 studonts rogistorod for tho coursc.It is hopod that at lor.st ono such courso me.y be offorod oe.chyor.r. In tho choice of those coursos considorr.tion will bc givennot only to the number of r.pplicents for e. p~.rticu1e.r course, but~.lso to tho possi bili ty of obtr.ining ~.n Instructor to supervisetho courso ~.nd to the Librr.ry f£'.cili tics for tho courso whothortakon as f'. Diroctod Reading Course or as a regular intra-sessionalcourse.

It is not possible to record all the outstanding workaccomplished by the staff during 1934-35. Without minimizing thework of those not specifically mentioned, reference will be made tothe following items which appear in tho departmental roports.

Dr. C .McLean Fraser, at the request of Dr. W .A. Clem en "S;""Director of the Pacific Biological Station, Nanaimo, spent aportion of the summer of 1935 with the Hydrographic Survey ship,the Vfilliam J.Stewart, off the coast of the ~ueen CharlotteIslands collecting marine zoological material and making zoologicaland oceanographic observations. As Dr. Fraser is an authority onhydro ids, specimens are sent to him for examination from varioussources not only from British Columbia but from allover NorthAmerica,

and certain places in South America. In addition tothese he received a collection from the Zoological Laboratory,Imperial Palace, Tokyo,-- collected personally by the Emperorof J~an. This is the third collection to be received from theJapanese :E}nperor.

Professor G.J.Spencer spent the summer in Kamloops andvicinity. For seven years he has been in charge of grass-hopper

work in British Columbia for the Dominion Entomological Branch,Ottawa. For two summers he was Acting-Officer in charge of theLaboratory of Insects affecting man and domestic animals.

The Department of Botany continued the investigationinitiated at the request of the Provincial Government on theeffect of Smelter Smoke on Forest and Farm Plants. The regionsinvestigated were at Anyox and Trail. The National ResearchCouncil of Canada made a grant of $250 for the purchase ofequipment necessary to carryon the research.

Attention is directed to the various publications ofmembers of the staff during the year. Because of the great de-crease in financial support for publications almost everywhere.there is much delay in getting papers published.

The Dean wishes to record his great appreciation ofthe whole-hearted co-operation he received in carrying on thevrork of the Faculty.

Rcspectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE ACTING DEAN OF THE

FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE.-I -

Policl

The general policy of throe years of fundomentaltraining common to all studonts, followed by two years ofspecializod training in tho departmont chosen, initiated bytho late Dean R.\,I.Brockt has proved sound. It is not proposedto change this in principle.

Adhorenco to this principle involvos cortain practicaldifficultios, notably ovorloading of Socond Year students, anddifforenccs of opinion as to what fund~ontals arc essontial,under

ohnnging conditions. A stnnding committeo on curriculumwas formed during tho year to consider such ~estions and torecommend any variations in tho general policy or curriculumdesirable for bettor adjustment to the needs of the students andto keep the Faculty abreast of modern conditions. After fouryears of relative stagnation, duo to financial conditions, ourpolicy should bo to introduce desirable changes with the leastdelay, subject to possibility and careful consideration of theirvalue.

Changes in Co~ses

No major additions or changcs werc made during thcycar. Courses in Forest Products, SoDlinar and Thesis were added

to the Forestry department and Mochanical laboratory work wasdiscontinucd in the Fifth year. In the Mining DepartmentMining 1 was increased from 2 to 3 units and Economics 1 wasdiscontinued for practical reasons. In NUrsing a course inElcmentary Organic Chemistry was added.

GenGra1 Mo.ttors

University Forost. The Forostry dopartment, fromNovomber 19, 1934 to May 1st, 1935, had tho servicos of oight manfrom the Holiof Camp of the Dopartment of National Defonce. SinceJuly 22nd, 1935, 12 man under tho B.C.Govornmont Young Mon'sForostry Training Plan, havo dona much valuablo work in theForost. A tractor, contributod froG of chargo by lIIr.J.G.G.Morganof tho Finning Tractor Company has boon of groat sorvico in thisconnection.

23.

l~!nin6 Qepar~Ee~t. Construction of an upper floor inthis Department has added about 1000 feet of floor space relievingcongestion and greatly improving these laboratories v-lhich are nowin good shape to handle the larger number of students who haveoffered in the last two years.

S~ec~al. En~lis~ Tr.aining. Under the so-called tReader'this work is beg1nning to sho\v results. He reports that theEnglish of Essays is improving and that he has had a fair andregular attendance in a voluntary class in Public Speaking \vhichhe initiated.

Exclusion at Christmas. No students were excluded atChristmas in 1934. This was based on lack of possible jobs forthose excluded. The net result vias that practically all who wouldhave been excluded at Christmas failed in the spring. Totalspring failures were about 25~ of the total number registered.

Changes in Regulations. The 60/40 rule. for languageonly, now-Cf-factiva in First Year has slightly easad the entrancerequirements into Second Year. Tho rule that "no student withdefective standing" may enter Second Year, was -for last sessionextended to the Third Year tending to improve quality somewhatwith a corresponding small decroase in registration.

Open House. Open House reception was put on in Marchmanaged by the Applied Science student organizations. It wassuccossful in attracting ovor 4000 visitors during tho day.

Re~istration. Rcgistration was ncar1y constant for foursessions 1930 to 1934, being 318. in the session of 1933-34. In1934-35 the numb or. jumped to 364. It seems 1iko1y that applicationsfor rogistration will continuo to incrcasc for some time to come,and that it is necessary to look forward to strengthening and build-ing up of staff and equipment as far as possiblo to take care of thoincrcasing pressure.

analysis of distribution, as well as increased numbers, indicatesthat the job is the chief motive of students, honce the tendencytoward large mining classes happens to be the most noticcablefeature at prescnt. In Forestry the Industry has not advancedas far as Mining or Chomistry in utilizing graduatcs, but recentlymore interest has developed and Mr. Knapp has succeedod in arrangingfor a scholarship as an evidence of intorest on the part of thoLoggers, so that the outlook for tho Department of Forestry isimproving though not yet normal. 1~ large increase in Nursingdeveloped aftor the close of tho year and is mentioned here asconfirmation of the job motive.

Organization. Of the five departments administered by thoFaculty ~\pp~l~-G-d-Science. three are under l~cting Hoads and thoFaculty is undor nn ~\cting Dean. This is not as bad as it seems.Tho coming appointment of Dr. C.E.Dolman as .L:~cting Road will puttho NUrsing Dopartmont in good shapo, and the Civil Dopartmcnt isexcellently administered. Tho Forestry Departmont, while Mr.Knapphas done good work, is the one 1~hich is maall in staff and needsmost building up and strengthening.

This Faculty draws heavily on the Faculty of Arts andScience for basic subjects, notably Mathematics, Physics, Chemistryand Biology as well as Gcology. Jill increase in numbers in ~\ppliGdSciencG will therefore infer that an increased demand from thesedepartments can be supplied.

The formation of a now departmont in l\ppliod SciGnce,namely Goneral Enginoering, to taka care of fundamontals, is onlya matter of time and is suggosted for pro~imin[\ry consideration.

Sto.ff.The d'eo.th of Dean R.W.Brock, in July, was a sorious blow,

tho consequences of which roma.in to be fully £1.ppreciatod, althoughphysical disorganization was minimized by the fact that, as he wnson leave of o.bsonC:G, the routine W1:'..S in t he hands of tho ..\.ctingDoc.n. The consequent disorganization in tho Department of Gcologyaffects two Faculties.

The death of Mr. H.N.ThomEon, Professor of Metallurgy,in February, and the retirement of Mr. E. G. Mathoson, hssociateProf e ssor 0 f Civil Enginoer ing, in ~!ay, Vler e al so di sturb ing 10s s os .

In general the staff is loaded to the point where there islittle reserVG po".,er to take care ofdisturbancos, research, outsidelecturing, or increased registration, hence it will be very desirableto build up grec.ter internal strength if the Faculty is to koepout of a rut and make normal progress, in the face of increasingpressure from numbers and technological advQnces.

REPORT OF THE DEAN OF THE FAaJLTY-OF AGRICULTURE

The short report herevlith submitted is accompaniedby reports prepared by the Heads of the Departments in theFaculty.

These accompanying reports should, in my opinion,be available to anyone who cares to see them. They give avery good impression of the thinking of the men in the variousDepartments 0

The year has been a relatively happy one. Itcan safely be reported that the spirit and morale of the Faculty

.have improved quite markedly and that there is a gene18al feelingthat once more we can look to the future with some degree ofhope for the advancanent of education in Agriculture in thisProvince. There are two reasons for this:

First, the laboratories of the Faculty, particularlythose in the Vocational Building, the Horticultural Barn andthe Agronomy Barn, have been improved and not only made moreefficient for the work being done in them, but have been mademuch more habitable as well. Some of the general depreciationhas been taken up and the buildings painted. The neatness andattractiveness of the buildings have not been witnout theireffect. The small additions to Supplies and Equipment havebeen very acceptable and have added something to the generalgrade of the teaching work. Particularly is this true inthe Department of Agronomy, where during the past summer ithas been possible to grow and add to the much depleted teachingmaterial.

In April the poultry plant was re-leased on a newbasis in which the Professor of Poultry HUsbandry retained amore direct influence in the management of it. The roundingout of the farm unit under the direction of Professor King wasgiven effect to. In addition to the dairy cattle, small nucleiof horses, sheep and swine are now available. In the insidelaboratories the addition of the large autoclave in Dairyingand the centrifuge and refrigerator for the use of the Depart-ments of Agronomy, Horticulture and Dairying, has speeded upthe work in these Departments to some degree.

Second, under the conditions laid down in the1935-36 Calendar, pages 84 and 226, the academic certificate forteachers is now.open to graduates in the Faculty of Agriculturewho moet the requirements of the regulations. Special mentionmight be made of two men ~ong others who finally prepared andapproved the regulations. Honourable Dr. George Weir, the

--26.

Minister of Education, was very sympathetic to the proposal,and Dr. A. F. Barss, Professor of Horticulture) after con-sultation with many interested people, prepared the regulations.

It is also expected that the hopefulness engenderedin the Faculty by the two factors mentioned above will be stillfurther augmented by the proposed University extension andresearch programs.

During the s'pring months of 1935, in co-operation withthe Faculty of Arts, a room in the Department of Bacteriologywas loaned to the Provincial and Dominion Departments ofAgriculture for blood testing for PUllorum disease in poultry.More than 80, 000 samples Vlere tested by Dr.Bruce, of the FederalHealth of Animals Branch.

I \viSh to acknowledge, with thanks, the hearty co-operation of the Dominion Department of Agriculture with regardto the alfalfa and ,vheat experiments in the Department ofAgronomy. The Dominion Experimental Farms, under the Divisionof Forage Crops, gave assistance to the extent of ~400.00. Thispermitted the alfalfa to be moved from the grass-grown areasand re-planted. The work with wheat, supported by the CerealDivision of the Experimental F~s, has proceeded rapidly, andone more season should complete the tests in this Province.

The Provincial Feed Standards Board

A Provincial Feed Standards Board to unify recommenda-tions on feeding practice was established by the Minister ofAgriculture during the year. This '~ork entailed a large numberof meetings, and the socrotarial vlork was handlod by Mr.King. 1I/Ir.Berry, while not a member of the committee, was of much value inassisting in the preparation of the publication of the Board.This publication, which has just recently come off the press, isentitled, "The Feeding of Farm Live Stock in British Columbia."

REPORT OF THE DEAN OF WOMEN.

In p.ccordnnco with yoQr roqQost for P. roport ontho work of tho Dor.n of Woman for tho r,cc.domic yoar whichclosed on the 31st of AugQst, 1935, I beg to sQbmit thefollowing:

ACADEMIC: I conferred with women students, fre~uently withtheir parents, regarding COQrses of study, refractory timetables and the numerous other problems connected with thoacademic side of the studont's life, also with profossors whoaskod for information and advico about matters concorning thowork of tho woman studonts.

VOCATIONAL:

The choice of a vocation grows incrcasinglydifficult and cach ycar much timc must be spc.nt in advisingwomcn studonts giving them literature, information regardingthe number of openings t tho necossary prop~.r~.tion r.nd whorcit cP.n bo obtninod, tho dome,nds ofthc work, the financial andothcr rewards, tho promotional poSSibilities, otc.

HOUSING: I inspected boarding houses ~or out-or-town studentsand kept closely in touch with householders to ensure that,as far as possible, the discipline and conditions of well-conducted homes prevail in the houses. Tho finding of suitabloplaccs is no longer a problcm, for the conditions required bytho University are generally understood and observcd. Thereare, howcver, ~.pproximatoly 150 women from ontside of tho cityand for tho women who do not livo at home it is much to bohoped, notwithstanding OQr prescnt boarding house c.rrr.ngemcnts,that bofore too long a residonco will be erected. From thiscontro thoro would go an influenco which would bo felt in thehomes o~ tho students living in t'~)wn, in tho me.tter of regule..rhours of study, aurt~.iling of nights out, ctc.

I seourod some twenty plaoos in which students c~.ngivo light sorvices for room e~d board, took studonts fromhomes whore too much work was being required of thom, andhelped financi~lly stu~ents who hc.d not time nor strength forfull services.

It wP.s intorosting to hnvo roquosts from v. number oftho men that they be informod of any plaoos not noodod by thowomen students. tho men aool~.ring themselves quito capable ofgiving "light sorvioos. TT

28.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIOI~S: At tho roquost of tho various studontorg~n1zations, I spoke at twenty-seven of their mootings, c. ttonc.o~two student ce.mps, actod r.s critic in tho Womon's Public Spoe.kingClass, conduc tad P. discuss ion group, r. ttendod dr.ncos. teas, dinnors tand moetings. As Honorr.ry Prosidont of tho Women's UndorgraduatoSociety, Pr.nhelleniQ Council, Phrf'.tores. Tho Litorr.ry Forwn, Iadvised in tho ?rr~.ngomont of progr~.ms ~.nd othor matters, p.ndactod as "Hoac. Offico" for tho Intor-Sorority Council.

The organization of Phrateres in the spring of 1935has already filled a need on the campus on the part of the womenwho have lacked social advantages and opportunities for contactswith people, other than those purely of the classroom. Its object"to uphold tho idonls of' tho University of British Columbia findto further a spirit of friendliness emong the women of thisUni vorsi ty" ht'.s been stoC'.dfastly uphold. The organization ['.imBto got into its mombcrship the unsocial and the socie.lly in-experienced girls t p.nd to bring them togothcr undcr conditionswhich will break down tho inhibitions c~.usod by timidity, super-sensitiveness, lack of money and other C8QSOS, ~.nd which, e.s aconscquonce will help to proparo them for the exporicncos whichthcy will moot after leaving collogo. Tho foes arc $2.00 c. yor.r.Mcotings arc hold in the c:.ftornoon botween loctu.ros p.nd dinnorr.nd membership is opon to c.ll who apply. Tho now organization thusaffords to ('.11 studonts who wish to ('.vc:.il themselves of thorn. thof'inor fo~. turDs of tho frp. terni ty systcm wi thou t the less dosirable.That Pbratorcs is filling a need on tho cempQs is evidencod by thofact that though its organization took place only l~st springan Alumnne Chaptor of approximatoly 50 members h~.S c:.lroady boonformod. Tho objocti vo npp.rt from tho ona stato~ nbovc, is theproviding of monoy for tho Bursary Funa which is used for emergcncios,ana for foos which p.rc not tr.kon cr.re of by the "Spocir.l Burs~.riosFtJ.nd .Tf

SOCIAL: At Thr.nksgiving ~.rf. at Christme.s r.rrr.ngomonts were m~.c1othat all the out-6~-tov{n woman students anc1 r. number of the menwho coulc1 not go homo hnc; ~n invite.tion for tho Df'.y £>.11(1 r>..t othertimos during tho vP.cP.tion from somo homo in the city. I kept intouch with students who wore ill f'.nd in finnncinl or othorclistross and ontertf!.ined in my homo P. t various times all theout-of-town womon.

FINANCIAL: I assistec. in secQring loans for womon stQdonts ant.placea gifts of monoy, clothingt tcxt books, otc., with r.oservingstQdents who were not eligible for special bQrsP,rios t or who worenot sQccessfQl in their efforts to ec.rn their wr,y through r.nd withothers unexpectedly in neeG.

29.

During tho yoar thc monoy givon for those roasonsamountcd to $1324.75. Of this amount, ~387.00 was roocivcdfrom tho University Woman's Club, the McGill Womon's Assoc-iation, tho Toronto Alumnao Association, tho Faculty Woman'sClub, thc Kappa Alpha Thota Sorority, and ~~367 000 V'lEl.S roturnodby students.

EMPLO~!ENT: Many reqQests for assistance in procQring employ-ment were dealt with. A very considerable number of stQdontsearn their way thro\lgh in whole or in part, giving light servicosfor room and board during tho winter, and vvorking in the summerand Christmas vacations. Tho dcmand has grown OQt of ~.llproportion to tho supply and this phase of tho work is bccomingincrocsingly difficult.

GENERAL: As the years pass. the requests for help of oneKind and another grow increasingly numerous from the graduatosof the university. The number of letters of recommendation,for example, written each yoar is prodigious.

That the interest in tho University of tho womengraduates is koon is seen in many ways, in none moro tangiblypcrhaps during tho last yoar than in the gift of a bursary of$150.00 from the Intcr-Sorority AltUnnae Club"to be awarded toa woman student of satisfactory academic standing proceedingto her junior or senior yoar or to the Education Class, or,if a graduate, to the Social Sorvico Diploma Courso. Theaward is to be mado on tho rocommendation of tho Dcan ofWomon," who, it is understood will take into considerationthe financial neod of tho student.

This scholarship is to be offered annually.

ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE THE UNIVERSITY: I served as the representative~or canada on the Internat1onaIExecutive of the Pan-PacificWomen's Association, and on the international Relations CommitteDof the Intornational Federation of University Women and acted onseveral provincial and local oxecutives. I delivered 38 publicaddresses and took part in a number of public functions.

Though it is not strictly a matter for this reportmay I, in closing, state once more the urgent need for a

30.

Students' Union Building to keep student activities on thecampus and to form a centre of influence there. It is notnecessary at this time to ropeat tho argumonts which I sot forthin writing oarly last yoar. In my opinion tho campus stands inmuch groator noed of a Studonts' Union Building than of rosidonoos,groat P.s tho lnttcr nood may bo.

Respcctfully sQbmitted.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF

Tfm ~I~BSESS I ON

The University, reverting to the policy of earlieryears. a policy that had been suspended during the years ofthe depression-, brought in five outside lecturers. Thesewere all men of worth and reputation: Dr. T. R. Boggs ofLeland Stanford, formerly a member of our own staff in Economics;Dr. Peter Sandiford in Education, Professor J. F. ~!acdonaldin English, Professor R.A.Innis in Economics, all of Toronto;and Dr. J. M. MacEachran of Alberta in Philosophy.

A special course of lectures open to all studentsand to such of the public as chose to attend was arranged forthe noon hour. In all twelve lectures were given, one by eachof the visiting professors, two by Mr. Lismer of the OntarioCollege of Art, and the rest by members of the local staff. Theattendance and interest displayed were remarkable if it isborne in mind that most of the students were attending threeor four lectures in COUTse each day. The enro~ent showed anincrease from 380 to 463, or slightly more than 20~. Theincrease was most marked in the second year and among thegraduate students, but was fairly well maintained in the firstand third years, while the enrolment in the fourth yearremained practically unchanged. The students c~e from everypart of the Province, indeed from almost every parliamentaryriding, ,~hile a small number came from the Prairie Provinces.

Respectfully submitted,

L. F. ROBERTSON,Director.

32.

I beg to submit the annual report upon the physicalexaminations of the students entering the University for thefirst time, those re-entering after a period of five yearsfollowing their last examination, and four of the UniversityCafeteria Staff.

The number examined was much greater than that oflast year.

Dr. Monica Saunders conducted the examination of thewomen students and women of the Cafeteria Staff.

No ttme was allowed me at the opening of the session.to give my usual address to the students upon the subject ofour Health Service and the importance of keeping fit during theiruniversity course. This necessitated my talking at greaterlength to individual students at the time of examination.

At each examination the student was given advice uponhis physical condition and the best methods of improving thesame.

Defects needing the immediate attention of the Univer-sity Health Nurse were reported by mail each evening when thenames of students exmmined were reported.

Serious defects were reported to the parents or thefamily physician, or reported to the nurse for follo,q-up work.

The general condition of the men was found to beabout as usually found at previous examinations, but that ofthe women was reported by the lady physician to be rather underthe average. This was particularly evident in the matter ofunderweight.

The current fashion of semi-starvation or "slinmling"among the women was held accountable for this. This fashion,which has become widely prevalent, may be a causal factor inthe large amount of tuberculosis among women of this age group.

Among the men I found an increase in the number ofoases of Kyphosis or round shoulders. This may be due to theneglect of military training in the schools in reoent years.

As usual, the number of cases of uncorrected poorvision was too great, considering the strain to which the eyesare put during a university course.

REPORT OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH SUPERVISOR.

I have the honour to present my eighth annual report aspart-time Public Health Nurse in the University Health Serviceof The University of British Columbia.

During the session nine hundred and sixty-two (962)different persons received attention. Tho total number ofservices (including First Aid, Vaccination, Health Advice, andExamination of Contacts) was two thousand nino hundrod and forty(2940). Of the six hundred and forty-eight (648) studentsexamined by tho university Modicr~ Officer (including four (4)members of tho Cafetorip. St~.f~) forty-~o (42) were rcforrod tothe Health Servico for follow-up of tho physic~~ defccts found.

Consultations with. and reports sent to. the Deans andProfessors numbered one hundred and fifty-five (155); consultationswith parents and physicians. two hundred and seventeen '(217); andreports received from physicians one hundred and twen~-six (126).

Compared with last yoar, thoro are more instances ofcommunicable diseases, although nothing approaching an opidemichas occurrod. A better understanding and a stricter observanceof the reg~ations regarding contacts, as outlined on page 26 ofthe Calendar, would further reduce the chance of any second studentcoming down with a communicable disoase.

34.

Days lost from sickness' d\lring the 19j4-35 sessionnumbered nine hundred and twenty-seven (927) as compared witheight hundred and twenty-two (822) last year; of these sixhundred and thirty-eight (638) were lost through sickness fromcommunicable diseases, two hundred and eighty-nine (289) throughother illnesses mld operations.

Through daily examination of contacts (as an alternativeto oxclusion of contacts), at least nine hundred and forty-three(943) days of class attendance were saved to students of theUniverSitv, estimated as representing more than two thousandeight hundred dollars ($2800.00) in students' time.

Respectfully submitted,

~~he Annual Inspecti2!!.

The annual inspection by the D.O.C.1 Major General E.C.Ashton,C .M.G., V.D., took place at 8 :30 P.~:1., March 6, 1935.

General Cozmnents

(a) The innovation this year of holding parades at theUniversity during the Fall Term was found to increase the paradestrength considerably. It must be realized that the Corps isseriously handicapped in carrying on its activities throughconfliction with University courses. Students feel that theycannot allow more than one night a week for Corps work and somehave difficulty in allotting this. By having parades from6:00 to 8:00 P.M.. men were still left the greater part of theevening for study.

(b) The practical examinations for Certificates "A" and "B"Infantry showed a decided improvement in mutual instruction overlast year.

(c) All ranks again donated all their pay and allowances toCorps funds.

(d) The yearly audit of fUnds was carried out and all booksand accounts were found correct.

38.

General Comments. -continued

(e) The ordnance inspection was satisfactory and onlyvery minor shortages were reported.

(f) There were no breaches of discipline of any kind duringthe year.

The Officer Commanding wishes to record his appreciationof the assistance and co-operation afforded him by the Chancellor,the President, and the Board of Governors, the Committee onMilitary Education, the D.O.C., ~I.D.No.ll and Staff and O.C.'s23 Inf.Bde. and B.C.Reg't (D.C.O.R) and to the Superintendent ofEaildings and Grounds at the University.
