J. LEWIS ROBINSON Professor Emeritus Department of Geography, University of British Columbia Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6T 1W5 Department of Geography begin with the establishment of the University of British Columbia in 1915 at the Fairview site near the present Vancouver General Hospital. At that time, a Department of Geology and Mineralogy was created and in it a half-year course in physical geography was given by S. J. Schofield. A physical geography course (under various names and numbers) has been given continuously from that time at UBC. It is the oldest continuing geography course in any Canadian university. In 1919, a course in meteorology and climatology was introduced, and this also was the first such course in a Canadian university. T H E ACADEMIC ORIGINS OF THE Origins with Geology In 1922-23 the name of the department was changed to Geology and Geography. UBC was the first Canadian university to have geography as an academic division. The department had a strange administrative position. It was placed in the Faculty of Arts and Science for budget purposes but was headed by R.W. Brock who was also Dean of Applied Science. The department's first academic links were close to Engineering.
