The British Columbia University Act of 1908 formally called a provincial university into being, although its location was not specified. Die bestuur is geskoei op die provinsiale Universiteit van Toronto Wet van 1906 which created a bicameral system of university government consisting of a senate (Fakulteit), verantwoordelik vir akademiese beleid, en 'n raad van goewerneurs (burgers) oefen eksklusiewe beheer oor finansiële beleid en met formele gesag in alle ander sake. Die president, aangestel deur die direksie, was om 'n skakel tussen die twee liggame te verskaf en om institusionele leierskap uit te voer. The Act constituted a twenty-one member senate with Francis Carter-Cotton of Vancouver as Chancellor.
Building on a successful affiliation between Vancouver and Victoria high schools with McGill University, Henry Marshall Tory helped establish the McGill University College of British Columbia. Van 1906 om 1915, McGill BC (as it was called) operated as a private institution providing the first few years toward a degree at McGill University or elsewhere. The Henry Marshall Tory Medal was established in 1941 by Tory, founding President of the University of Alberta and of the National Research Council of Canada, and a co-founder of Carleton University.
Intussen, appeals were made to the government to revive the earlier legislation for a provincial institution, leading to the University Endowment Act in 1907, and the University Act in 1908. in 1910 the Point Grey site was chosen, and the government appointed Dr. Frank Fairchild Wesbrook as President in 1913, and Leonard Klinck as Dean of Agriculture in 1914. A declining economy and the outbreak of war in August 1914 compelled the University to postpone plans for building at Point Grey, and instead the former McGill University College site at Fairview became home to the University until 1925. On the first day of lectures was September 30, 1915, the new independent university absorbed McGill University College. The University of British Columbia awarded its first degrees in 1916, and Klinck became the second President in 1919, serving until 1940.
World War I dominated campus life, and the student body was “decimated” by enlistments for active service, with three hundred UBC students in Company “D” alleen. By the war’s end, 697 members of the University had enlisted. 109 students graduated in the three war-time congregations, all but one in the Faculty of Arts and Science.
deur 1920, the university had only three faculties: Kuns, Toegepaste Wetenskap, en Landbou (with Departments of Agronomy, Animal Husbandry,Dairying, Horticulture and Poultry). It only awarded the degrees of Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Applied Science (Basco), and Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (BSA). Daar was 576 manlike studente en 386 female students in the 1920–21 winter session, maar net 64 akademiese personeel, Insluitend 6 vroue.
In die vroeë deel van die 20ste eeu, professionele opleiding uitgebrei buite die tradisionele gebied van die teologie, wet en medisyne. Though UBC did not offer degrees in these fields, it began to offer degrees in new professional areas such as engineering, agriculture, nursing and school teaching. It also introduced graduate training based on the German-inspired American model of specialized course work and the completion of a research thesis, with students completing M.A. degrees in natural sciences, social sciences and humanities.
in 1922, the twelve-hundred-strong student body embarked on a “Build the University” campaign. Students marched through the streets of Vancouver to draw attention to their plight, enlist popular support, and embarrass the government. Fifty-six thousand signatures were presented at legislature in support of the campaign, which was ultimately successful. op September 22, 1925, lectures began at the new Point Grey campus. Except for the Library, Science and Power House buildings, all the campus buildings were temporary constructions. Students built two playing fields, but the University had no dormitories and no social centre. Steeds, the University continued to grow steadily.
binnekort, egter, the effects of the depression began to be felt. The provincial government, upon which the University depended heavily, cut the annual grant severely. In 1932–33, salaries were cut by up to 23%. Posts remained vacant, and a few faculty lost their jobs. Most graduate courses were dropped. in 1935, the University established the Department of Extension.
By the end of World War II, Point Grey’s facilities could not meet the influx of veterans returning to their studies. The university needed new staff, kursusse, fakulteite, and buildings for teaching and accommodation. The student population rose from 2,974 in 1944–45 to 9,374 in 1947–48. Surplus Army and Air Force camps were used for both classrooms and accommodation. The university took over fifteen complete camps during the 1945–46 session alone, with a sixteenth camp on Little Mountain in Vancouver, converted into suites for married students. Most of the camps were dismantled and carried by barge or truck to the University where the huts were scattered across the campus.
Student numbers hit 9,374 in 1948; meer as 53% of the students were war veterans in 1947–67. tussen 1947 en 1951, the university built twenty new permanent buildings, including the War Memorial Gym, built with money raised primarily by the students, was dedicated on October 26, 1951.
The single-university policy in the West was changed as existing colleges of the provincial universities gained autonomy as universities – the Universiteit van Victoria is gestig in 1963.
op Februarie 10, 1964 Harvey Reginald MacMillan donated $8.2 million for postgraduate education to the university.
