Wartime Training at Canadian Universities during the Second World War Anne Millar Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate of Philosophy degree in history Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Anne Millar, Ottawa, Canada, 2015 ii Abstract This dissertation provides an account of the contributions of Canadian universities to the Second World War. It examines the deliberations and negotiations of university, government, and military officials on how best to utilize and direct the resources of Canadian institutions of higher learning towards the prosecution of the war and postwar reconstruction. During the Second World War, university leaders worked with the Dominion Government and high-ranking military officials to establish comprehensive training programs on campuses across the country. These programs were designed to produce service personnel, provide skilled labour for essential war and civilian industries, impart specialized and technical knowledge to enlisted service members, and educate returning veterans. University administrators actively participated in the formation and expansion of these training initiatives and lobbied the government for adequate funding to ensure the success of their efforts. This study shows that university heads, deans, and prominent faculty members eagerly collaborated with both the government and the military to ensure that their institutions’ material and human resources were best directed in support of the war effort and that, in contrast to the First World War, skilled graduates would not be heedlessly wasted. At the center of these negotiations was the National Conference of Canadian Universities, a body consisting of heads of universities and colleges from across the country. -

The Committee is composed of representatives of the Department of Regional Economic Expansion, Environment Canada and Transport Canada, and of the Department of the Environment, Department of Development and Department of Municipal Affairs of the Province of Nova Scotia. The Strait of Canso Environment Committee has as its first objective the development of an environmental management strategy proposal for the Strait of Canso area. Regional environmental assessment and environmental management programs must necessarily be based upon a comprehensive and integrated knowledge of the physical, social and economic resource base ofthe region. Toward this end, the Committee arranged for an initial program, funded under a Federal-Provincial agreement, comprising an inventory of existing information on the natural environment of the Strait of Canso region. The inventory of natural resources and resource uses commenced the summer of 1974, leading to the presentation of the information in a series of special maps and accompanying reports for publication and distribution in late 1975 and early 1976. -
