The University of British Columbia, usually alluded to as
UBC, is an open Canadian research college situated in Vancouver, British
Columbia. Established in 1908 as the McGill University College of British
Columbia, the college became self-sufficient and got its present name in 1915.
It is the most established establishment of higher adapting in British Columbia
and selects more than 58,000 understudies at its Vancouver and Okanagan Valley
campuses.UBC's 4.02 km2 (993-section of land) Vancouver grounds is spotted
inside the University Endowment Lands, around 10 km (6 mi) west of Downtown
Vancouver. The 2.09 km2 (516-section of land) Kelowna grounds, obtained in
2005, is spotted in the Okanagan Valley.
UBC workforce, graduated class, and specialists have won
seven Nobel Prizes, 68 Rhodes Scholarships, 65 Olympic awards, 180 cooperations
to the Royal Society of Canada, and graduated class incorporate two Canadian
executives. UBC is an examination concentrated college that finances more than
8,000 activities with its $519 million exploration plan. UBC is positioned 30th
on the planet (second in Canada and 24th in North America) as per U.S. News
& World Report 's 2015 rankings and
eighth among colleges outside the United States by Newsweek.
University of British Columbia is a non-partisan and
coeducational organization, with more than 275,000 living graduated class in
120 countries.The college is an individual from Universitas 21, the Association
of Universities and Colleges of Canada, the Association of Southeast Asian
Institutions of Higher Learning, the International Association of Universities,
the U15 and the main Canadian individual from the Association of Pacific Rim
Universities. The college's varsity groups, known as the Thunderbirds in
Vancouver and the Heat in the Okanagan, contend in the Canada West Universities
Athletic Association of the Canadian Interuniversity Sport.
In 1877, just six years after British Columbia joined
Canada, Superintendent of Education John Jessop presented a proposition for the
development of a common college. An Act Respecting the University of British
Columbiawas passed by the commonplace council in 1890, however contradictions
emerged about whether to manufacture the college on Vancouver Island or the
territory. A commonplace college was formally called into being by the British
Columbia University Act of 1908, in spite of the fact that its area was not yet
indicated. The administration was displayed on the commonplace University of
Toronto Act of 1906 which secured a bicameral arrangement of college government
comprising of a senate (employees), in charge of scholarly approach, and a
leading group of governors (nationals) practicing restrictive control over
budgetary strategy and having formal power in all different matters. The
president, named by the board, was to give a connection between the two bodies
and to perform institutional administration. The Act constituted a twenty-one
part senate with Francis Carter-Cotton of Vancouver as Chancellor.
Prior to the University Act, there had been a few endeavors
at securing a degree-allowing college with help from the Universities of
Toronto and McGill. Columbian College in New Westminster, through its
connection with Victoria College of the University of Toronto, started to offer
college level credit when the new century rolled over, however it was McGill
that would come to rule advanced education in the mid 1900s.
Expanding on an effective connection in the middle of
Vancouver and Victoria secondary schools with McGill University, Henry Marshall
Tory served to secure the McGill University College of British Columbia. From
1906 to 1915 McGill BC (as it was called) worked as a private foundation giving
the initial few years toward a degree at McGill University or somewhere else.
The Henry Marshall Tory Medal was built in 1941 by Tory, establishing President
of the University of Alberta and of the National Research Council of Canada,
and a prime supporter of Carleton University.
