    Installation Address of Professor Arvind Gupta as Thirteenth President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of British Columbia September 12, 2014 *Check against delivery Page 1 of 11 Your Honour, Minister Fast, Minister Virk, Deputy Mayor Reimer, Elder Grant, Distinguished platform party, fellow faculty, students, staff, alumni, friends and family – thank you. This is actually my second installation as President of UBC. On my first day, at the beginning of July, the Musqueam people recognized me with a blanketing ceremony. In a flourish of eagle down, chants and dancing, they welcomed me to this, the unceded land of their ancestors. I couldn’t be more grateful. We are all blessed to be here on the traditional territory of the Coast Salish people. As President, I will do everything I can to ensure that UBC is and remains a trusted partner and a good neighbour to the Musqueam people. You might take that as an overarching theme for the day – the responsibilities that we all share as a community of elders and scholars, striving to excel in a spirit of integrity, diversity, inclusiveness and mutual respect. I trace my own sense of citizenship to my upbringing. I’m from Timmins. I was born in India, but I grew up in the hard, beautiful country of the Canadian Shield, at a time when it was common practice to bring home strangers off the street, merely because they needed a meal and a bed. Well, maybe it wasn’t that common. Certainly, the first time I brought a hungry vagrant to my home in Toronto, my startled family found it quite unusual.

Even the passage of a day begins to turn facts into fanciful and entertaining stories. Interestingly told, these tales combine truth and ridiculousness in such delightful and charming proportions that they are bound to last for a long time. The story of the American College of Surgeons is that of the development and progress of surgery in America. No other medical organization, voluntarily entered into by its Fellows, has exerted such a profound influence upon the discipline and art of surgery in the United States. This book is concerned with the many men, each with his in- cisive personality, who were dedicated to the purpose of ele- vating the level of the surgical treatment of patients by raising the standards of hospital facilities and continuing the education of the surgeon.

  • The Native Sons of British Columbia and the Role of Myth in the Formation of an Urban Middle Class1
    “The Wondrous Story and Traditions of the Country”: The Native Sons of British Columbia and the Role of Myth in the Formation of an Urban Middle Class1 F ORREST D. PASS n his report to the 1930 Grand Post of the Native Sons of British Columbia, Grand Factor J.P. Hampton Bole, a New Westminster Ilawyer, discussed his conception of the role and future of the uniquely British Columbian secret society. “During the past year,” Bole told his brethren, “the fact has been brought home to me that our movement is of far greater importance than a casual observer might think. It recalls to my mind the lessons of history; of the brotherhoods of old that were founded like our own on service to the community rather than personal advantage. Little bands or guilds in the Old Countries that grew into great organizations. We too can do that. We are on the right road.”2 Bole’s predictions regarding the destiny of his organization may have been unduly optimistic, but they touched upon several el- ements of the mythology of the Native Sons. Bole spoke reverently of the “lessons of history,” invoking the organization’s unwavering faith in the didactic potential of the past. In his interpretation of the objects of “the brotherhoods of old,” Bole articulated the antimodernist contention that past generations had exhibited a level of virtue, a belief in “service to the community,” worthy of emulation in the present. In its public activities and pronouncements, the Native Sons of British Columbia extolled public service as a legacy of the province’s pioneers.

  • It Is Yours Installation Address of Professor Stephen J. Toope As
    The University of British Columbia: Here it is – It is yours Installation Address of Professor Stephen J. Toope As Twelfth President and Vice-Chancellor Of the University of British Columbia 29 September 2006 Chief Campbell, Deputy Minister Quayle, Mayor Sullivan, Mr Chancellor, Chair of the Board of Governors, Governors, distinguished representatives of sister universities, Fellow Professors, Students, Staff Members, Alumni representatives, my Family and Friends: Thank you all for joining me today in honouring the history and the promise of the University of British Columbia. The installation of a new president is a singular moment in the life of any university; a moment to reflect upon the past, to celebrate the present and to imagine an even more illustrious future. You have asked me to take on a mantle worn by such notable predecessors as Frank Wesbrook, Norman MacKenzie, David Strangway and Martha Piper. So my first words must be words of thanks to courageous and visionary forebears who in just under a century have built a university from extremely humble beginnings into a research and teaching powerhouse with global influence. But more than a proud 12th President, I am also an eager new student of UBC, and what I have discovered so far is fascinating, often inspiring, and always instructive. For example, it was the first President of UBC, Dr Frank Wesbrook, who coined the university motto: Tuum Est. I am happy to report that universities being what they are, privileged sites of debate and contention over ideas, there has long been disagreement over the proper translation into English of that motto.

  • South Asians As Medical Scapegoats in British Columbia and the Pacific Coast States, 1900-1924
    South Asians as Medical Scapegoats in British Columbia and the Pacific Coast States, 1900-1924 by Isabel Wallace A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in History Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (September, 2013) Copyright © Isabel Wallace, 2013 Abstract This transnational study of the first-wave South Asian immigrant experience in British Columbia and the Pacific coast states shows how elected officials at all levels of government, bureaucrats, union leaders, physicians, members of the press, and the general public utilized purported public health concerns to justify South Asian exclusion and disenfranchisement. While all Asian groups living along the Pacific coast faced opposition to their immigration and settlement, India’s subordinate status within the British Empire, and a sustained western association of South Asians with disease, uniquely positioned North American discourse on South Asians at the intersection of colonial theory, Orientalism, and medicalized nativism in the first two decades of the twentieth century. ii Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank God for watching over me during this entire process. I would also like to thank my supervisors, Dr. Jeffrey Brison and Dr. Barrington Walker, for their valuable assistance during the thesis writing process, and Committee members Dr. Ishita Pande, Dr. Blaine Allan, Dr. Jane Errington, Dr. Margaret Little, and Dr. Patricia Roy. I would also like to thank Dr. Galen Roger Perras for kindly agreeing to read early drafts of the thesis, and for providing me with guidance with my archival research at Library and Archives Canada.

  • Sanitation, Race, and Governance in Early British Columbia
    Night Soil, Cesspools, and Smelly Hogs on the Streets: Sanitation, Race, and Governance in Early British Columbia MEGAN J. DAVIES* Looking at three communities — Nelson, Vernon, and Prince Rupert — this study traces the early history of urban sanitation in British Columbia. “Health” is inter- preted here not just as a medical condition, but as a cultural, social, and moral force that helped shape the character of these new towns. The battle against dirt and dis- ease was linked to civic boosterism and good citizenship. Euro-Canadian medical and engineering professionals created public health hierarchies, established ritual- ized systems of sanitary practice, and “mapped” sanitary zones within the emerging civic communities. The public health discourse articulated by these men was pro- foundly racist, constructing Asian residents as the unclean, unhealthy “Other” whose existence threatened good health and social order. Cette étude retrace à travers trois communautés – Nelson, Vernon et Prince Rupert – les débuts de l’hygiène urbaine en Colombie-Britannique. La notion de « santé » n’y est pas vue dans la seule optique médicale mais également dans la perspective d’une force culturelle, sociale et morale ayant contribué à forger le caractère de ces nou- velles agglomérations. La lutte contre la saleté et la maladie était liée à la promotion de l’idée d’un civisme modèle. Les professionnels euro-canadiens de la médecine et du génie créèrent des hiérarchies de santé publique, établirent des systèmes ritua- lisés de pratique sanitaire et « cartographièrent » des zones sanitaires au sein des collectivités émergentes. Ces hommes tenaient un discours de santé publique pro- * Megan J.
