| College instructor donates B.C.
history book to Library

History Instructor Frank Leonard
(right) and Librarian Joan Wenman
with a copy of Leonard’s book A
Thousand Blunders: The Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway and Northern
British Columbia. During the first
two decades of this century, the
2,800 km Grand Trunk Railway
played an important role in the
development of north-central British
Columbia, especially Prince Rupert,
Prince George, and Hazelton. The
book revises traditional
interpretations of the company’s
history and is an important
contribution to the field of railway
and business history. Leonard’s first
book, it’s published by UBC Press.

 

 

Discourse continued from page 1

lead article by UBC Professor Emeritus of
Higher Education John Dennison provides
historical information concerning the
creation and growth of the community
college system, as well as suggesting
some options for the future. Following
Dennison, Douglas College writers
Howard Eaton and Ted James call, in
different ways, for information and
careful consideration in dealing with the
matter.

Rounding the journal out are short
reports from Barrie Barrington and Linda
Pickhall concerning plans for the
extension of programs in music and
nursing, and a review of John Dennison’s
book, Challenge and Opportunity, by
Lorna McCallum. The Centre for
Educational Technology’s Jamie Gunn
did the graphic design.

Editor Barrington-Foote tried to make
sure that everyone interested received a
copy of the kickoff issue, but if he missed
anyone, there are still copies available.
Call him at local 5275.

 

Discourse Editor Kevin Barrington-Foote toasts Douglas College’s
