    EARLY HISTORY OF CALGARY Lawrence H. Bussard, B. A. Department of History UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA A THESIS Submitted to the University of Alberta in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts. Edmonton, Alberta. April, 1935. GOAT OF ARMS OF CALGARY The upper third of the shield shows the Rockies. The lower two-thirds bears the Red Gross of St. George, mounted by the Maple Leaf which again is inset by a Buffalo Bull. The supporters, a Horse and Steer, represent the wealth of Calgary. The Crest shows the Royal Crown (a sign of loyalty), and a Sunburst. Below are the Rose, the Thistle and the Shamrock, declaring the ancestry of Calgary which was founded in 1882, and in 1894 received her City Charter. The motto is "ONWARD," and the Union Jack and Can¬ adian Ensign speak of the Empire.

The length of the hearings will be determined by the number of scheduled presentations.
