Additionally, students are advised that this Calendar is not an all-inclusive set of rules and regulations but represents only a portion of the rules and regulations that will govern the student’s relationship with the University. Other rules and regulations are contained in additional publications that are available to the student from the Registrar’s Office and/or the relevant Faculty, Department or School. Dalhousie University/University of King’s College does not accept any responsibility for loss or damage suffered or incurred by any student as a result of suspension or termination of services, courses or courses caused by reason of strikes, lockouts, riots, weather, damage to university property or for any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Dalhousie University/University of King’s College. Programmes and courses: The University reserves the right to limit enrolment in any programme. Students should be aware that enrolment in many programmes is limited and that students who are admitted to programmes at King’s/Dalhousie are normally required to pay deposits on university fees to confirm their acceptance of offers of admission. These deposits may be either non-refundable or refundable in part, depending on the programme in question. While the University will make every reasonable effort to offer courses as required within programmes, prospective students should note that admission to a degree or other programme does not guarantee admission to any given course. However, no student in a graduating year may be excluded from a course required by that student to meet degree requirements because of lack of space. (This rule does not apply to elective courses or to preferred sections of courses). Students should select optional courses early in order to ensure that courses are taken at the most appropriate time within their schedule. In some fields of study, admission to upper level courses may require more than minimal standing in prerequisite courses. For full details of programmes available to King’s students through the King’s/Dalhousie Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and Faculty of Science, including course descriptions, please consult the current Undergraduate Calendar of Dalhousie University.

Philip Girard* "His whole life was one of continual warfare": John Thomas Bulmer, Lawyer, Librarian and Social Reformer1 On a clear cold day in January, 1899 a ship entered Halifax harbour with a rather unusual cargo. Some 5,000 Doukhobours fleeing persecution in Czarist Russia made a brief stop in the port before proceeding to their ultimate destination in the Canadian West. In spite of the brevity of their stay, a number of Haligonians boarded the vessel to express their good wishes. A lawyer deputed by a workmen's association to address the throng spoke through an interpreter, but his speech did not contain the clichs usually retailed on such occasions. You bring to Canada something more needed in this country than new immigrants - men who will stand by their principles no matter how much suffering it costs them.

Transactions of the Burgon Society, 9 (2009), pages 200–212 The ‘Canadian Tradition’ of Academical Costume in Nova Scotia: The Dalhousie University Model by John N. Grant The eleven degree-granting institutions in Nova Scotia represent a variety of sys- tems and traditions of academical costume. By 1807, the University of King’s Col- lege (1789), the oldest university in Nova Scotia, borrowed the academical dress of Oxford University,1 while l’Université Sainte-Anne, where the use of cap, toge, and épitoge is comparatively recent, is in the tradition of French and Quebec-based institutions.2 Several schools, including St Mary’s University, St Francis Xavier University, Mount St Vincent University, and the Nova Scotia Agricultural College, follow the rules of the Intercollegiate Code of Academic Costume as developed in the United States in the 1890s.3 Other schools follow the ‘Canadian tradition’ of academical dress that Humphries describes.4 It could be argued, however, that this was, and is, in fact, a trans-Atlantic mi- gration of the British academical tradition.

  • 40 Years of Activism: Working for a Better Dalhousie
    40 Years of Activism: Working for a Better Dalhousie Celebrating DFA’s 40th year as a certified bargaining agent TERRITORIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We would like to begin by acknowledging that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq and Maliseet people first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Maliseet title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. SPECIAL THANKS Thank you to those who wrote articles: David Westwood, David Robinson, Robert Rodger, Ray Larkin, Dale Poel, Jane Fee, Pierre Stevens, Mandy Kay-Raining Bird, David Mensink, Debbie Mellish, Catrina Brown, Darren Abramson, Faye Woodman, and Julia M. Wright.

Thanks to Shirley Vail, Digitization Coordinator, Dalhousie University Archives, for helping us gather information and articles about the DFA; and thanks to Randy Barkhouse, Association of Dalhousie Retirees and Pensioners, for his help in contacting many of our former DFA presidents.
