From The -President . . .
One of themost difficult problems in an institutionaslarge
and
#
as widely dispersed as the University
of British Columbia is that of bringing to .the attention of its members
the interesting events that occur in
its many Faculties and Departments,
and as part of the extramural programme.
.
“UBC REPORTS” is an attempt
to do this.
I hope that you find it interesting
and useful. I hope, too, that, if you
have anysuggestionsaboutit,
you
will write OF felephone theInformation Office.
In the meantime, I would like to
express my thanks to Mrg. Dorothy
Coryell and MissNancy Westfor
undertaking
this
venture,
and
to
wish them everysuccess.
