As a veteran of a crown corporation I speak both from personal experience and familiarity with many other cases. The record of our universities is no better.

This does not constitute change, it was something that was part of the heritage of the University when I came here.” I askedI whatDr. Macdonald’sviews might be on optimumnumbers in undergraduate and graduate studies here at UBC and if he felt there was any desirable ratio to be maintained between the two. “When the University published its study of academic goals in 1964,” hereminded me, “thatdocument included a recommendationthat total undergraduate enrolment should be limited to a figure of approximately 16,500, as of 1973. Projectionsfor graduate and post- bachelor professional enrolment for that same year were 5,500, or 25% of the total. It is now clear that we will exceed the figure for undergraduate enrolment, but I am hopeful that steps can be taken in the very near future to establisha plateau for undergraduates. Looking into the more distant future I see no reason to be concerned about growth at the graduate levels to the point where it might be as much as 50% of totalenrolment by, say, 1980.” Where did Dr. Macdonald think the most satisfactory progress had been made at UBC in the last five years? And the least satisfactory? The president’s reply showed that he obviously had not needed the prompting of an Dr.Macdonald and G. L. Landon, BSA’23, at the interview to make an assessment.
