Discussion of "Education
in the Health Sciences"
In answer to a query, the Chairman stated that the
Executive Committee of Senate had felt, since the Senate had
already started discussion of the Report of the Committee on
Academic Goals and since Dr. English had agreed to report to
this meeting on the secondary school curriculum, that
discussion of the programme of education in the health
sciences should be deferred to the next regular meeting of
Dr. English) That the minutes of the second
Session 1964-65, held on October
21, 1964, and of the special
meeting of Senate held on November
25, 1964, having been circulated,
Two recommendations of the Faculty of Science,
initiated by the Department of Mathematics, had been deferred
from the previous meeting to permit their consideration by
the Faculty of Arts. This Faculty concurred in the recommendations.
Dr. Stewart)

course for all "200" courses in
Mathematics listed in the Faculty
of Science Calendar, with the possible
exception of Mathematics 201, 203,
205, 207, and 208; that those students
who have completed Grade XIII
Mathematics 101 (revised) should
not normally be eligible to register
in Mathematics 200, 202, 220, 221,
but exceptions may be made with the
That in view of the changes taking
place in the British Columbia
secondary school curriculum with
respect to Mathematics, Physics
and Chemistry, Senate take immediate
steps to establish revised requirements for admission to the
University from the British Columbia
secondary school system, to become
effective in 1967.
Dean Okulitch assured the Senate that the
Department of Mathematics at its discretion would admit to
Mathematics 202 students who had completed Grade XIII
Mathematics 101 (revised) and wished to follow this by a
course in Calculus.
Representation of British
Columbia Teachers'
Federation on Senate
On October 23, 1963, Senate had approved
(l)  That consideration of representation on Senate
of the British Columbia Teachers* Federation
be referred back to the Senate Executive Committee
for submission to Senate at a later date; Wednesday, December 16, 1964     34C0
(2)  That no additional society or group or
organization as defined in Section 23(i) of
the Universities Act be asked to elect a
member to the Senate.
With the approach of the end of the term on Senate
of its representative appointed under the British Columbia
University Act, the B. C. Teachers' Federation had submitted
a brief requesting the continuation of its representation on
Senate.  The Senate Executive Committee, which had met with
a delegation from the Federation, had recommended that
Senate extend its resolution of October 23, 1963 (2 above)
to include the British Columbia Teachers' Federation, on
the basis that the position of the Federation did not differ
significantly from that of other professional groups, and
that liaison between teachers and Faculty members with
similar academic interests was already provided in various
Dr. Chapman)  That the recommendation of the
While not opposing the present recommendation,
Dr. Sharp expressed his opinion that it was an advantage to
the University Senate, and the University as a whole, to
have a representative of the secondary school principals on
the Senate, since the University students came from the
secondary schools.  He felt also it was a means of
indicating to the principals of the secondary schools the
interest taken by the University in their problems.  He
hoped that Senate might consider this point before the term
on Senate of Mr. Burnham expired in May, 1966. Wednesday, December 16, 1964     3161
Mrs. Angus supported this view.
Mr. Parrott assured Senate that, whatever the
decision, the Federation would continue to work closely with
the University.  As representative of the Federation in
recent years, he had become aware of the interest of the
teachers of British Columbia in the business of the
Mr. Burnham believed that the position of the
B. C. Teachers' Federation differed significantly from that
of other professional groups inasmuch as the students in
the Faculty of Education (at present some 2200) were
receiving part of their professional training in the schools.
Dr. Belshaw stated that there had been a general
feeling in the Executive Committee that liaison with the
teachers as a whole should be improved at various levels
within the University. Dr. Morris added that the Senate
was the academic body of the University, and that liaison
between professional groups and the University should be
Dr. II. V. Warren, Dr. Johnson and Dr. Gibson all
expressed their opposition to the recommendation of the
Dean Scarfe pointed out that the secondary schools
and the University were very much concerned with each other's
Following suggestions that the secondary school
principals might be excluded from the present recommendation Wednesday, December 16, 1964     3462
of the Executive Committee, Dean Gage said he understood
that of necessity the appointment of a representative of
the High School Principals and Assistants was handled
through the B. C. Teachers' Federation.  Mr. Parrott stated
that the Federation included many sub-groups.  Among these
was the association of B. C. Principals and Vice-Principals,
which could elect a representative to Senate if Senate so
The President pointed out that, on the basis of
the Senate resolution of October 23, 1963, the High School
Principals were not entitled to elect a member to the Senate
after the expiration of the term of the representative
appointed under the British Columbia University Act.
Mr. Todd   )  That the motion be amended to deal
only with the question of
representation on Senate of the
Federation as such, and that the
question of representation of the
High School Principals and
Assistants be referred back to
for separate consideration.
The motion approving the recommendation of the
Executive Committee, as amended, was Carried.
New Format of Honorary
The printers of the honorary degree diplomas had
informed the University that the equipment needed for this
purpose was no longer usable.  Since these large diplomas Wednesday, December 16, 1964     346 3
presented a number of other problems in handling, and
probably in storage by their recipients, the Executive
Committee recommended approval of a proposal from the
Honorary Degrees Committee to reduce the size of the parchment
for the honorary degree and to present it, together with the
citation, in a folder.
Dean Myers)  That this recommendation of the
Mr. Elder suggested that attention should be given
to the design of the diploma, with a view to improving its

Smith, who had retired from the University Library, should
be granted the status of Assistant Librarian Emeritus.
Mr. Elder  )  That this recommendation of the
Elimination of Autumn
The Committee of Deans and the Executive Committee
recommended that the Autumn Congregation be eliminated,
since it interfered with the academic programme in the First
Term which was already short.  Many of the recipients of
degrees at this time were students completing graduate Wednesday, December 16, 1964     34G4
degrees during the summer, and leaving the Vancouver area
in September for employment or further study elsewhere.
If the recommendation were approved, the list of
candidates qualifying for degrees during the summer would
continue to be presented to Senate in October, so that
appropriate notification could be made on the students*
Mr. Justice Nemetz inquired whether a degree could
be formally recognized before it was conferred by the
Chancellor.  Moreover, he felt it extremely unlikely that
members of Faculty would attend Congregation ceremonies on
three days in the Spring.
The Registrar stated that approval by Senate for
the granting of the degree was recognized by other institutions or employers, on the understanding that the formal
conferring of the degree would take place at the next
Congregation ceremony.  If the present procedure for conferring degrees was continued, it would be necessary to
hold Congregations on three days, or to lengthen each of two
ceremonies to three hours.  A possible alternative would be
to follow the practice of the University of Toronto, and
hold separate ceremonies for individual Faculties.
Dr. Murdoch suggested that the practice of having
each graduand in attendance cross the platform might be
Members of Senate inquired about the wishes of
the students with respect to Autumn Congregation.  The Wednesday, December 16, 1964     34G5
Registrar replied that about half of those receiving
degrees attended the Autumn Congregations.  The majority
of the graduates in the autumn were teachers, and the
Faculty of Education had agreed it would be desirable to
eliminate the Autumn Congregation.  Dean Scarfe commented
that all British Columbia school boards recognized the
University transcript indicating completion of work, without
awaiting the formal conferring of the degree.
Dr. McGregor pointed out that the First Term had
many interruptions, in addition to being short.  Dr. Stewart
added that laboratory schedules in particular were
seriously affected by the cancellation of one afternoon's
Dr. Stewart)  That the proposal of the Committee
of Deans and the Executive Committee
to eliminate the Autumn Congregation
The School of Nursing, which had for some years
scheduled a period of field work in May, June and early
July, was considering a re-arrangement of its programme so
that its graduands would not be required to wait until the
following spring to receive their degrees.
Dr. Murdoch )
Mr. Sinclair)  That the Chairman be asked to
appoint a committee of Senate
to consider ways of shortening
the Congregation ceremony so
that the annual ceremonies for
the conferring of degrees would
require not more than two
afternoons, and preferably one.
Carried. Wednesday, December 16, 1964     3466
Dr. McGregor and Dr. II. V. Warren pointed out
that parents, relatives and friends from all parts of the
Province attended Congregation ceremonies to see particular
individuals receive their degrees.  Public relations would
suffer if degrees were presented en bloc.
Academic Year 1965-66.
Mid-Term Break and
The Executive Committee recommended that approval
be given to a mid-term break, February 17, 18, 19, 1966,
and to the holding of the Spring Congregations 1966 on each
of June 1, 2, 3.  In view of the last motion, the Chairman
suggested that this be modified to the holding of the 1966
Spring Congregations in early June.
If a mid-term break were to be approved for 1966,
it would be desirable to announce it in the Calendar which
would be in press before the success of the 1965 mid-term
break was determined.  Advance scheduling would also permit
an extension of the Second Term to compensate for the time
involved in the break.
The mid-term break approved for 1965 had applied
only to "those Faculties in which, in the opinion of the
Dean, the recess would not adversely affect the academic
programme".  Most, but not all, Faculties were cancelling
their lectures and laboratories for the three-day period.
Dean Curtis asked for verification that the
University Library would be open during the mid-term break. Wednesday, December 16, 1964     3467
The Chairman confirmed that, as stated in the minutes of
the previous regular meeting, the break in 1965 applied only
to such Faculties as wished to adopt it.  The University
administration, including the Library, would function as
Dr. Jacobs )  That a mid-term break be approved
for February 17, 18, 19, 1966, and
the 1966 Spring Congregations be
held in early June of that year.
Re-wording of Admission
The Executive Committee recommended a re-wording
of the admission requirements as stated on page A22 of the
1964-65 Calendar, to clarify their meaning.
Dr. English)  That the re-wording of the Calendar
statement on admission requirements,
as included in the recommendations
of the Executive Committee, be
Senate at its meeting on October 21, 1964, had
approved recommendations from the Faculty of Applied Science
and the Faculty of Arts with respect to membership in their
Faculties of persons other than those specifically approved
in the Senate resolution of December 18, 1963, defining
Faculty membership.  The Senate Executive Committee now
recommended approval of the following proposals from the
Faculties of Dentistry, Forestry and Pharmacy for membership Wednesday, December 16, 1964     3468
in those Faculties under section (vii) of the aforementioned

either in part or in whole, are charged to the
Faculty of Dentistry budget, or  full-time
Instructors (I and II), Assistant Professors,
(b) Representatives elected by and from members of the
teaching staff who hold appointments for less than
full time, and whose salaries are charged entirely
to the budget of the Faculty. The representation
shall be in the ratio of one representative to ten

With the replacement of the Department of Mining
and Geological Engineering by a Department of Mineral
Engineering, the Faculty of Applied Science had been
deprived of the staff in Geological Engineering, who had
been transferred to the Department of Geology in the Faculty
of Science. The Faculty of Applied Science had accordingly
recommended that its membership be increased by the addition
of three members of the Department of Geology chosen
annually by that Department.
Dean Leung)  That the proposals of the Faculties
of Dentistry, Forestry and Pharmacy
relating to Faculty membership, and
the proposal of the Faculty of
Applied Science to increase its
membership, be approved.
Curriculum Changes and
Calendar Amendments. 1965-66
Submissions of the Faculties and Schools with
respect to new courses, changes in courses and curricula,
and other Calendar amendments for 1965-66 had been
circulated.  The Executive Committee recommended approval
of these submissions.
The Chairman stated that, at the meeting of the
Executive Committee, Dean Gage had volunteered to devise
an alternative form for presentation of Calendar material,
to make it more concise and more understandable to those
not immediately concerned with it.
Dean Cowan had received on December 15th from the
Department of Mineral Engineering a request for approval of Wednesday, December 16, 1964     3471
three new graduate courses to be included in the 1965-66
Calendar.  If time permitted, he would like the Curriculum
Committee of the Faculty of Graduate Studies, and the Faculty
itself, to review these courses before they were presented
for approval of Senate.  The Registrar assured him that
approval by Senate in February would permit inclusion in
Dr. Jacobs)  That approval be given to the curriculum
changes and additions and other Calendar
material as presented by the Faculties,

for the year 1963-64 had been circulated.  In presenting
the recommendation of the Executive Committee, Dean Gage
added that the report was very readable, and that the
Librarian and the Library Committee were to be congratulated
Dr. Gibson)  That the report of the Librarian be
on Recreation. Athletics
The Committee on Recreation, Athletics and Physical
Education, and the Executive Committee, recommended:
(1) That Senate rescind the regulation requiring all
entering students in the First and Second Year
to take one year of Physical Education;
(2) That Senate recognize the following as desirable
(a) A physical fitness evaluation test should be
conducted by the School of Physical Education
and Recreation at the time of first registration
of each student. At the same time the student
should be informed of the facilities available
for,and the opportunities for participation in,
a physical activities programme. Those students
who the test indicates could profit most from
such a programme should be advised accordingly.
(b) A voluntary corrective programme should be
arranged for students referred to the School of
Physical Education and Recreation by the
University Health Service. This programme
should prescribe and appraise exercises for
postural defects, injuries, etc. Wednesday, December 16, 1964     3473
(c) A strong and well-organized intramural programme
should be provided.  This programme should have
a headquarters office, with office staff, and
members of the Physical Education staff should
be specifically assigned to organize and supervise men's and women's intramurals.
(d) Continued support and encouragement should be
extended to the extramural programme as required,
by the provision of additional coaching and
facilities, in co-operation with the Men's and
Women's Athletic Committees. Such development
should emphasize minor sports with a view to
encouraging maximum participation.
(e) Assistance should be extended to the programmes
of those Clubs concerned with physical
recreation with a view to encouraging students
to participate in activities of special interest
to them. As in the case of the intramurals,
greater continuity might be achieved by staff
assistance in organizing club activities
(faculty advisers).
(f) A voluntary activities programme for students
in all years should be stimulated and
(i)  Scheduling classes in which students would
be given the opportunity to acquire skill,
particularly in those games for which
adequate facilities can be provided
(examples - badminton, tennis, bowling,
curling, etc.)
(ii)  Scheduling certain free hours in the
different facilities when students can
exercise on a casual basis, or by booking
The report of the Committee outlined the problems
arising from a University requirement of physical education
when the facilities were inadequate to meet the requirements.
The Faculty of Arts and Science had recommended in November,
1961, "that the requirement of two years* compulsory Physical
Education courses in programmes leading to the degrees of
B.A. and B.Sc. be abolished."  Senate in 1962, after studying Wednesday, December 16, 1964     3474
that recommendation, had reduced the physical education
requirement from two years to one year.  Dean Matthews read
a section from the report of his Committee to Senate at
that time, stressing the mental health aspect of an activities
and fitness programme, and the value of a continuing interest
in an activity which might result from the compulsory
The present report of the Committee pointed out
that elimination of the compulsory physical education programme would probably not significantly decrease the
pressure on existing facilities for physical education and
recreation. Funds had been contributed to the cost of the
Women's Gymnasium and the War Memorial Gymnasium on the
understanding that these facilities were being provided for
recreational use by students, but very little time was now
available for intramural or casual use.  For information of
Senate, the report stated that the Committee had recommended
to the Facilities Committee that gymnasium teaching stations
and ancillary classrooms for the Faculty of Education be

approval be given to the recommendation that the Senate regulation
on "the required physical education
activity" be rescinded, and to the
objectives as stated.
Carried. Wednesday, December 16, 1964     3475
The first two recommendations of the Committee on
Honorary Degrees for the Spring Congregations, 1965, were
that the degree of LL.D. be conferred on Professor John
Kenneth Galbraith, Warburg Professor of Economics at Harvard
University, and that the degree of D.Sc. be conferred on
Mr. Gerard Piel, Editor of the Scientific American and Fellow
of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.  Senate in
May, 1964, had approved Professor Galbraith and Mr. Piel as
alternate honorary degree recipients in October, 1964, if
Professor Hugh Trevor-Roper had been unable to accept a
Dean Myers presented the following additional
Mr. George Cunningham LL.D.
Miss Dorothy Somerset D.Litt.
Professor Frank Forward D.Sc.
Professor Emeritus Harry T. Logan LL.D.
Dean Frank Scott, retiring Dean of Law,
McGill University LL.D.
The Committee recommended as alternate, if
necessary, Mi-. Max Ferguson, the leading Canadian satirist
("Rawhide"), as recipient of the degree of LL.D.
Dean Eagles)  That honorary degrees be conferred
on the seven candidates recommended
if they are able to be present at
the Spring Congregations in 1965,
and that the Committee on Honorary
Degrees be authorized to offer an
honorary degree to Mr. Max Ferguson
if one or more of the other candidates
is unable to be present at that time.
Carried. Wednesday, December 16, 1964     3476
The Chairman referred to the changes in the
secondary school curriculum which would be affecting the
preparation of students reaching the University in 1967.
Dr. English had consented to summarize these changes for the
An outline of the curriculum re-organization and
a chart indicating the tentative curriculum in the various
programmes, were circulated.  The academic and technical
programmes in the senior secondary schools would prepare
students for universities, colleges, technological institutes
and other vocations or types of training requiring College
Entrance standard.  Students not qualifying in Grade X for
admittance to these programmes might choose from commercial,
industrial, communitj' services, visual and performing arts,
or a number of special programmes for particular occupations.
English to Grade XII, Social Studies to Grade XI,
and Guidance and Physical and Health Education to Grade XI
would be required in all programmes, occupying about 30$
of the student's time in these two grades.  Each programme
had in addition a number of specified courses or types of
course, occupying about 40$ of the student's time, and a
few "free electives" making up the remaining 30$.  Students
would be encouraged to select these electives from other
programmes in order to broaden their education.
Dr. English stated that in October, 1964, there
were nearly 400,000 pupils in the elementary and secondary Wednesday, December 16, 1964     3477
schools of British Columbia.  The Department of Education
expected that by 1971 this would grow to about 460,000, and
by 1975 to 525,000.  Operating costs for the public schools,
excluding universities, had increased from §36,000,000. in
1952 to §128,000,000. in 1963, and were projected at
$182,000,000. in 1970 and $265,000,000. in 1980.  In addition,
the enrolment in institutions of higher education was
The (Chant) Royal Commission Report on Higher
Education was one of the principal factors in the reorganization of school curricula, and had indicated the
general direction of development, but in all probability
some type of re-organization would have been undertaken in
any event.  In the senior secondary schools, a programme
system would replace the system of "majors".  The foreign
language requirement for students entering the University
would be increased from the present two years to a minimum
of three.  Greater concentration in the subjects of
specialization would be required of students on the academic
and technical programmes.  Admission to the Grade XI
programmes would be based on a Grade X examination, set and
conducted by the local schools but possibly approved in
advance by the Department.  The new Mathematics 11, compulsory
in the academic and technical programmes, would be
approximately equivalent to the present Mathematics 91 of
Grade XII. Wednesday, December 16, 1964     3173
Transfer between programmes would be possible if
students completed the prerequisites and met the required
standards.  At present, about 60$ of the students in senior
secondary schools were on the University programme; the
Department hoped that this would be reduced to about 40$ in
the new academic and technical programmes.
Grade XIII would probably be maintained in some
form, possibly in affiliation with community or junior
colleges in adjoining areas.
Dr. English emphasized the importance of sound
training for teachers, particularly those in the secondary
schools, in order to produce well qualified students for
the universities and other institutions of higher learning.
Dr. English referred to the proposed revision of
requirements for admission to the University.  He asked
whether, with the permission of the President, he might
meet in the near future with the Deans of the Faculties and
the Heads of Departments principally concerned in this
revision, for a thorough discussion of the new senior
secondary school curriculum, of the academic preparation of
students entering the University in 1967 and thereafter, and
of the effect on the school curriculum of possible admission
requirements of the Faculties.
The secondary schools were already in a transition
period in some aspects of their programme, and students
entering the University in 1965 and 1966 might have a
slightly different background from their predecessors in Wednesday, December 16, 1964     3479
certain subjects.  Dean Gage reminded Senate that transition
periods were frequently longer than anticipated.  He urged
Senate not to establish too rapidly specific requirements
for the different Faculties, in order that the requirements
when established would be realistic.
Dr. Marquis, Dr. Hawthorn and Dr. Birney all
cautioned that students anticipating professional careers
in the visual and performing arts should enter these from
the academic and technical programmes, rather than the
visual and performing arts programme which would not meet
the present professional standards.
Mr. Miller inquired whether all senior secondary
schools in British Columbia would have the staff and
facilities to offer all the programmes other than academic
and technical.  Dr. English replied that about forty schools
would be able to do so.  At present nearly every secondary
school in the Province offered a commercial programme.
Schools with at least 400 pupils in Grades XI and XII,
offering four programmes (academic-technical, commercial,
industrial, and one other) could qualify for Federal grants
towards capital and operating costs.
Dr. Sharp commented that, while only about 40$ of
the students in the secondary schools might enter the
academic and technical programmes to qualify for university
and college training, the remaining 60$ of the students were
also entitled to further education.  A regional college
could offer the first two years of university to those Wednesday, December 16, 1964     3480
eligible, and at the same time provide two years of
advanced training for the others completing secondary
school and wishing further education.
In thanking Dr. English for his most interesting
presentation, the Chairman commented that the University's
estimate of students in British Columbia proceeding to
higher education in September, 1965, from Grade XII was
about 10,600; and its estimate of total enrolment in higher
education in 1965-66 was 26,500.  In spite of the opening
of Simon Fraser University, he anticipated that 17,500
students would enrol at the University of British Columbia
in September, 1965.  This would be an increase of 2,000
students over present enrolment.
Mr. Parrott, whose term on Senate would end this
month, once more assured the Senate that the British Columbia
Teachers' Federation would continue to co-operate with the
University as it had done in the past.
Discussion of Report of the
Committee on Academic Goals
In view of the late hour, it was agreed that
further discussion of the report of the Committee on
Academic Goals should be deferred to the next regular
meeting of Senate. Wednesday, December 16, 1964     3481
that working drawings were now under way for the University
Teaching Hospital.  Private financing of about one quarter
of the capital cost, estimated at §18,000,000. total, had
been assured largely through the generosity of Mr. P. A.
Woodward, with other grants from important international
organizations and foundations.  The Federal Government had
taken exceptional action in providing about one quarter of
the cost on the basis that this was a pilot programme for
the whole of Canada.  In the last few weeks, the Provincial
Governmtmt had classified the project as a hospital within
the meaning of the Hospital Insurance Act, making it
eligible for capital grants for fifty percent of the cost
of teaching, research and service aspects.
Operating costs would be provided through the
British Columbia Hospital Insurance Service, as for any
other provincial hospital, and would be completely unrelated
to the University grants from the Department of Education.
