Acknowledgements The author and the UBC School of Kinesiology wish to thank a number of individuals for critically important roles they played in producing this book. First and foremost among these is Professor Emeritus Bob Sparks, who initiated the project and provided hands-on support and encouragement throughout the research and production process. Others who contributed meaningfully to this work include graphic designer Lisa Eng-Lodge of Electra Design Group, whose talent and patience are equally extraordinary, and Ernst Vegt of Coast Imaging Arts, who worked pure magic in bringing old, and sometimes damaged photographs to life. Our thanks also go out to the staff of the University Archives for maintaining the vast photographic treasure that resides on-line and in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, and in particular to Candice Bjur, without whose kind assistance and expertise, this book would not have been possible. Regrettably the names of the legion of photographers whose work appears in the following pages are unknown, and therefore incomplete, however, we wish to specifically acknowledge the latter-day contributions of Martin Dee, Bob Frid, Richard Lam and Jim Banham. I wish to extend my personal gratitude to Kathy Manson of the UBC School of Kinesiology for undertaking the onerous task of assembling the names of some 7,000 alumni; to my friend and former UBC Public Affairs colleague, Hilary Thomson, for her meticulous editing work; to UBC Department of Athletics historian, Fred Hume, for inspiring me always with his knowledge, and finally to my wife, Kim Gordon, for her inability to see the glass as anything but 99 per cent full, and for typing the index. Don Wells, June 24, 2018


Dean’s Message As Dean of UBC’s Faculty of Education, within which the UBC School of Kinesiology resides, I am proud to say that our School of Kinesiology has a world-class reputation for advancing interdisciplinary research and innovation in the study of physical activity and its impact on health, society, and quality of life. Minds and Motion – Celebrating the People and History of the UBC School of Kinesiology is a revelatory book on the history of the School and it is my pleasure to invite you to read it. It will stand as an important work within the history of the university, reminding us all from where we have come and what we have achieved. In this book you will discover the rich legacy of the School, and the faculty, staff, students, and alumni who contributed to its formation. The book spans the School’s life from the early days when it was known as the Department of Physical Education in the Faculty of Arts and Science, to the campaign to build the War Memorial Gym in honour of the veterans who were and are part of our UBC community, through to the late 1970’s when the Buchanan Exercise Science Laboratory saw the School begin a meaningful emphasis on physiological research and attract an increasing number of graduate students from across Canada and various parts of the world, and finally to the present, with the School's strengthened faculty complement and new strategic plan. This book stands as a testament to the School, reminding us all of how the university has always worked in the spirit of collaboration and interdisciplinarity. I wish to acknowledge that the UBC Point Grey campus is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam people. The land has always been a place of learning for the Musqueam people, who for millennia have passed on their culture, history, and traditions from one generation to the next on this site. We are honoured to be conducting our work as educators at this place of learning.

ALTHOUGH THE ARRIVAL OF GLOBAL CONFLICT ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS BROUGHT LEAN YEARS TO BRITISH COLUMBIA’S CHARTER UNIVERSITY, THE CONCLUSION OF HOSTILITIES AND THE RETURN OF STUDENT SOLDIERS STIMULATED UNPRECEDENTED PHYSICAL AND ACADEMIC EXPANSION IN THE YEARS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING 1918 AND 1945. IN THE FIRST INSTANCE, THE SWEEPING CHANGES FOLLOWING THE FIRST WORLD WAR TOOK PLACE IN THE WAKE OF SEVERE OVERCROWDING AT THE ORIGINAL UBC CAMPUS IN VANCOUVER’S FAIRVIEW DISTRICT, WHICH HAD PREVIOUSLY SERVED AS THE CAMPUS OF MCGILL UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, A REGIONAL COLLEGE OF MCGILL THAT REQUIRED STUDENTS TO COMPLETE THEIR SENIOR YEAR AT ITS MONTREAL CAMPUS.

however, brought construction to a halt in 1917. Although the student population at the Fairview campus swelled with each passing year following the end of the war, the construction of the new campus did not resume as faculty and students alike had hoped. The result of their mounting discontent over increasingly crowded conditions was a well-organized campaign that turned out to be a defining event in the university’s history. On the rainy morning of October 28, 1922, some 1,200 placard-carrying students and a handful of cars wound through the streets of Vancouver and westward along a muddy track to Point Grey and the site of the partially completed campus. The following week, a smaller but equally vocal group of students arrived at the steps of the Legislature in Victoria to deliver a 56,000-name petition and urge the government to make good on its promise to build their university. The result was an immediate resumption of construction, and the official opening of the new University of British Columbia campus on September 30, 1925. The conclusion of the Second World War made way for similarly extraordinary development, fuelled once again by the return of veterans and dramatically escalating enrolment. Several special meetings of the University Senate were required from 1945 to 1947 to approve plans for new courses, departments

Sherwood Lett, Professor Harry Warren and Arthur Lord were all varsity athletes in their UBC undergraduate days and key influencers in university affairs throughout most of their adult lives. Warren was the Senate’s representative on the University Council on Athletics and Physical Education. In 1939, Lett and Lord were appointed to a special Senate committee to make recommendations on establishing degree and diploma programs in physical education.

Arthur Lord and Professor Harry Warren, both of whom had played varsity rugby in their UBC undergraduate days. Warren had also been a Rhodes Scholar and was the first UBC student to be selected to compete in the Olympic Games, as a sprinter in the Amsterdam games in 1928. In addition to being an influential voice among UBC senators, he was also the Senate’s representative on the University Council on Athletics and Physical Education.

Gordon Shrum Physics professor, Dr. Gordon Shrum, was a decorated World War One soldier and Honorary Colonel of the UBC Canadian Officer Training Corps. Influential among university leaders, he was a vocal proponent of a physical education program as a means of strengthening the varsity athletics teams. Shrum personally approached Bob Osborne to ask if he would consider establishing a new department and program of physical education, and accept the role as its inaugural director.

Lord’s career, meanwhile, was even more similar to that of Lett, including his record of active military service. After graduating from law school at the University of Toronto, the First World War veteran returned to Vancouver to begin a successful career that culminated in his appointment to the Supreme Court of British Columbia. He too played an active leadership role at UBC, serving alongside Lett for over three decades on the University’s Senate and Board of Governors. The triumvirate of Lord, Lett and Warren enjoyed the support of many like-minded UBC leaders in matters concerning sport and physical education, including prominent professors such as Gordon Shrum, Otis Johnson Todd, Harry Logan and Garnett Sedgewick. Meanwhile, UBC’s second and longest-serving president, Leonard Sylvanus Klinck, similarly demonstrated his approval of a vibrant sport culture among students, and supported student-led campaigns to build the first gymnasium in 1929 and Varsity Stadium in 1937.

Varsity Stadium was home to varsity football, rugby, soccer and track and field from 1937 to 1967. It was demolished in 1968 to make room for the new Student Union Building.

UBC’s varsity rugby team made the first major mark in UBC sport history by defeating Stanford on Christmas Day, 1920. Some felt that the win over Stanford gave the university an identity and spirit that had not yet been revealed. Of the game’s aftermath, the 1921 Totem yearbook reported: “The happy crowd wended its way homeward, secure in the knowledge of a university which had won a game, won a spirit and found herself.” The team's coach, Art Lord, is pictured in back row wearing hat.

The View from Point Grey Opposition to the Strathcona Trust emerged in British Columbia schools in the mid-1920s in the same manner it had in Montreal only a few years earlier, with teachers calling for better training in physical education instruction, particularly around sport and games. Perhaps not coincidentally, a decision had also been made by the provincial Department of Education to conduct a thorough evaluation of British Columbia’s provincial education system. It was to be an ambitious undertaking, and one that turned out to be of some importance to UBC, for it was led by Professor George M. Weir of the UBC Department of Education and Dr. J. Harold Putman, a noted education reformer and the senior inspector of schools for the City of Ottawa. The report on Putman’s and Weir's survey, published in 1925, was well received and widely regarded as the most comprehensive educational survey ever conducted in Canada. Its overarching recommendation was that more class time be spent on health, physical education, home economics, manual training, fine arts, music and Canadian history. Furthermore, the report recommended that games and organized play receive more attention in physical education teaching; that physical education teachers have more formal discipline-specific training, and that the subject figure more prominently in the provincial curriculum. The Putman-Weir report, combined with an improved post-First World War economy and a corresponding population boom, stimulated greater interest in physical education in British Columbia schools, and with the CPEA promoting a new national agenda, cadet corps and military style physical training began to disappear in schools, replaced by sport, organized games and other forms of movement. In some respects, however, the significant changes taking place in Canada at this time coincided with the evolution of new ideas that originated in Scandanavia beginning as early as 1813 when pioneering physical educator Pehr Henrik Ling

Columbia included the implementation of the Provincial Recreation Program, popularly known in BC communities from 1934 to 1954 as “Pro-Rec.” The Provincial Recreation Program was invoked by the Department of Education as a means to provide healthy recreational activities and to combat what Weir referred to as the "demoralizing influence of enforced idleness" among unemployed youth during the Depression that overtook Canada in the 1930s. Typically, Pro-Rec activities consisted of calisthenics, team sports, track and field, swimming, gymnastics, dance, and various forms of fitness training. Funding for the program was provided by the Recreational and Physical Education Branch, with the federal government subsequently providing additional support through the Youth Training Act of 1939, the Vocational Training Co-ordination Act of 1941 and the National Fitness Act of 1943. The first public recreation scheme of its kind in the British Commonwealth, the Provincial Recreation Program proved extremely popular in its early years, with participation numbers increasing exponentially from 1934 to 1939. Its growth further underscored the necessity of expanding formal training of physi-

Born in Bellingham, Washington, Maury Van Vliet attended the University of Oregon where he was all-conference athlete in baseball and football. In 1935, he turned down an offer to play for one of the New York Yankees farm teams to come to the University of British Columbia. As director of men’s physical education, Van Vliet organized intramural sport activities and coached many successful varsity teams. Under his coaching, UBC teams won the Canadian Basketball Championship in 1937 and 1941; the Western Intercollegiate Football Championship in 1938 and 1939, the Tisdall Cup in rugby in 1943 and Pacific Coast Cross Country Championships in 1943 and 1944. He also managed to complete a Master of Science degree from the University of Oregon during his early years at UBC. His success and popularity, combined with his obvious interest in advancing physical education instruction in Canada attracted the attention of the University of Alberta, which lured him to Edmonton in 1945 with an offer of tenured professorship. Over the next 33 years, he oversaw the development of the Faculty of Physical Education at the University of Alberta, later served as dean, and earned nation-wide distinction as a coach, teacher and administrative leader in physical education and amateur sport. He was named an Officer of the Order of Canada, inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame and received honorary doctorates from six Canadian universities.

to require attention from the University of British Columbia. It British Columbia’s first full-time physical education instructors were appointed in 1936 in the persons of Gertrude Moore and Maurice (Maury) Van Vliet. Moore was educated at the University of Toronto and Harvard before becoming a director of physical education at the Vancouver YWCA, while Washingtonborn Van Vliet had been a multi-sport letterman and physical education student at the University of Oregon. Their primary tasks were to provide instruction in physical education classes for both male and female students and establish intramural sport competitions. Van Vliet was also assigned coaching duties for no fewer than seven of the university’s varsity teams. His success as a coach earned him great admiration among his UBC friends and colleagues and garnered greater interest in UBC teams on the part of Vancouver newspapers and the wider community. Apparently determined to play an influential role in the evolution of university sport and physical education in Canada, he worked with Lamb to develop a national agenda for the CPEA and was instrumental in staging the young organization’s 1939 Annual General Meeting in Vancouver, where views were expressed concerning the poor standards of physical fitness among Canada’s youth. The concerns among delegates were confirmed at the outset of the Second World War as countless


Educated at the University of Toronto’s Margaret Eaton College and at Harvard, Gertrude Moore taught at private schools in her native Ontario before moving to Vancouver in 1927 to become the director of the local YWCA. She joined UBC in 1936 as director of physical education for women and worked alongside Maury Van Vliet to establish a foundation for physical education instruction. For nine years she taught women's physical training classes, coached archery, and introduced intramural sports activities for female students. She became a co-founder of the British Columbia Camping Association in 1939 and established the Moorecroft Camp for Girls at Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island. She retired from UBC in 1945 to run Camp Moorecroft. As her health began to fail, she sold Camp Moorecroft to the United Church in 1954. In 2011, The Regional District of Nanaimo joined forces with The Nature Trust of BC to purchase the waterfront property from the United Church to preserve both the camp and Gertrude Moore’s pioneering legacy in the form of Moorecroft Regional Park.

Born in Victoria in 1913, he grew up on Vancouver’s west side, attended Magee High School and enrolled in the Faculty of Arts and Science in the fall of 1930. A towering figure even as a youth, he was a standout on the varsity basketball team in his freshman year, leading UBC to a 16-2 record in the provincial senior league and victory in the 1931 BC Championship over the defending national champion

Bob Osborne’s first order of business in the summer of 1945 was to fine-tune plans and information required by a senate sub-committee to finalize formal recommendations to Senate regarding the structure of a physical education department and program. With the assistance of former Vancouver school teacher Jean Sleighthome, Osborne went to work to complete the task and to later set up the department.

Osborne was apparently well suited to lead the development of a new department whose graduates would be in great demand in schools throughout British Columbia, and which would

In spite of the university’s rapid growth and its invigorating atmosphere in the post-war era, those lost in war were far from forgotten. Of the 1,680 UBC students who abandoned their studies to serve in the Second World War, 169 lost their lives or were declared missing in action. The interest in securing a living memorial to fallen student-soldiers and the desperate need to expand the university’s physical education and recreational facilities were jointly addressed at an Alma Mater Society council meeting in November of 1945. The council unanimously voted in favour of a motion tabled by Ole Bakken, a forward on Bob Osborne’s basketball team, "that the war memorial for the students of the University of British Columbia who served in the Second Great War be a modern gymnasium complete with swimming pool and other facilities." The plan was later revised to focus strictly on the construction of a gymnasium and was presented to a special meeting of students and alumni on February 2, 1946. It received overwhelming support, and an ambitious campaign immediately began to raise funds toward the cost of what was to later become War Memorial Gymnasium and henceforth the hub of all matters concerning physical education and varsity athletics. The UBC Board of Governors started the campaign with a pledge of $75,000 and the provincial government with a grant of $275,000. By the end of 1947, a studentdriven campaign had raised $175,000 through a variety of means, including allocating five dollars from the annual student fee to the gym construction. A shortfall remained of some $150,000, which the AMS borrowed and repaid through student fees in the years that followed.

people were hired to organize the department’s two respecTo that end, Osborne prudently appointed an experienced Torontonian named Marian Henderson to serve as head of the women’s program in place of Sleighthome, who although having been instrumental in establishing the foundations, resigned the position after just one year. Henderson had completed her physical education undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto. Like both Whittle and Van Vliet, she then undertook graduate studies within the Faculty of Science at the University of Oregon. She later returned to Toronto to teach school and hold senior positions in the Toronto District School Board before coming to UBC, where she remained until her retirement in 1973. The other faculty appointees in the women’s program in the inaugural year were Ottawa native Jean Carmichael, who returned to Ontario in 1948 to begin a federal government career, and Victoria-born Isobel Clay, who also relocated to Ottawa that same year. In the meantime, however, a young graduate of McGill named May Adams returned home to British Columbia in 1947 to accept Osborne’s offer to teach and coach the women’s grass hockey teams. An immensely popular teacher and mentor to female students, Adams spent eight years on UBC’s faculty, during which time she met and married Professor Lorne Brown, a teacher at the Vancouver Normal School who later made pioneer strides in the broad field of health, recreation and outdoor education within the UBC Department of Education. Whittle, meanwhile, became the first faculty member appointed on the men’s side, and was assigned duties which included teaching swimming and gymnastics, coaching the men’s swimming and junior varsity basketball teams and a variety of administrative duties as a second-in-command to Osborne. The next, and perhaps most obvious choice on the men’s side was Jack Pomfret, a skilled multi-sport athlete whom Osborne had coached in basketball at Lord Byng High School, and who then went on to the University of Washington on an athletic scholarship. Like the students he would teach at UBC, Pomfret had ambitions of becoming a teacher and coach when he set out for the University of Washington in 1940, where he lettered in baseball, basketball and swimming, and from where he temporarily abandoned his studies in 1942 to enlist for military service. Osborne was naturally enthused about the prospects of drawing the talented and affable Pomfret to UBC

in the summer of 1946 and his potential to contribute to building a new department from the ground up, having just graduated from one of the USA’s most prominent physical education programs. Pomfret eagerly accepted his former high school coach’s offer to teach activity classes in basketball, baseball and football, and to serve as an assistant football coach to former Ottawa Rough Rider quarterback Orville Burke and later to fellow University of Washington baseball alumnus Hjelmar “Jelly” Anderson. First, however, he had to demonstrate sufficient competitive mettle in the eyes of Gordon Shrum, who demanded to meet Pomfret before Osborne would be permitted

intramural sports program in response to increasing demand from a burgeoning student population. Just two years later, however, McMaster president George Gilmour arrived in Vancouver and successfully enticed the popular Welshman back to Hamilton to establish a school of physical education. Wynne made enormous contributions to McMaster as a department head, athletic director and dean of students, and to the City of Hamilton by serving as an elected director of its Department of Parks and Recreation. After his untimely death in 1970, the Physical Education Centre at McMaster was named in his memory, as was the stadium that was the home of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Football Club. Osborne’s final appointment was a graduate of Carnegie College from Lancashire, England named Albert Laithwaite, who had a distinguished rugby career before joining the Royal Air Force in 1940. He spent time in pilot training in Edmonton during the start of the war and returned to Canada with his Canadian-born wife in 1946 to teach at Ridley College in St. Catharines, Ontario. The following year he accepted Osborne’s offer to teach in the Physical Education Department at UBC and coach rugby, a position he held for 33 years until his retirement in 1980.

future physical education teachers required the inaugural faculty members to be creative and flexible in order to help develop the curriculum as the fledgling program took shape and to meet the changing needs of the schools that would soon hire the bulk of graduates. Post-graduation employment prospects for aspiring teachers were all but assured, as the discipline of physical education was set to explode within British Columbia’s public school system, as was extramural sport competition among high schools. For teachers and students alike, UBC’s new Department of Physical Education was an optimal environment for testing new curricula focused on games and team sports and for developing best practises in teaching and coaching. Teachers were free to experiment with pedagogical approaches, while students got practical teaching experience by providing instruction in mandatory activity classes for first-and second-year students. It turned out to be an experience that was vital to their careers, as the war produced a devastating effect on British Columbia schools, forcing teachers to be resourceful as the severe rationing of public expenditures resulted in very few schools

Thunderbirds Take Flight A good number of UBC’s inaugural cohort of physical education students were members of UBC Thunderbird teams. There were basketball players Norman Watt, Reid Mitchell, Jackie Shearman, Doreen Fowler, Mearnie Summers and the great Nora McDermott, who was the top student in the inaugural graduating class of 1949 and later became the first woman to be inducted into the Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame. The varsity rugby squad included physical education students Eric Cardinall, Don Nesbitt and Bill Sainas, while Fred Andrew and Terry Nelford played hockey under UBC head coach and future National Hockey League Hall of Fame inductee Frank Fredrickson. Rounding out the list of varsity athletes among the first cohort were versatile track and field team member John Pavelich and football players Dick Mitchell and Jack Armour. Three other physical education students signed on as managers for varsity teams; Mac Porteous and Al Thiessen for hockey, and Dick Penn for men’s basketball. Nora McDermott (pictured above) starred for the Thunderettes basketball team from 1945 to 1949, leading the team to the Vancouver Senior 'B' championships in 1947 and '48. She continued her basketball career with the Vancouver Eilers, winning nine Canadian championships in 14 seasons. She played for Canada at the Pan American Games and World Championships in 1955, 1959 and 1963. She also enjoyed a long career as a teacher and coach at Vancouver’s John Oliver Secondary School and later at Eric Hamber Secondary, where she was the first woman in British Columbia to be named head of physical education.

The Early Years


IN ADDITION TO RECRUITING FACULTY, ONE OF BOB OSBORNE’S MOST IMPORTANT TASKS IN OVERSEEING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION WAS THE ACQUISITION OF APPROPRIATE SPACE IN WHICH THE PROGRAM COULD GROW, AND NO PRIORITY WAS OF GREATER IMPORTANCE IN THAT REGARD THAN ESTABLISHING A MODERN GYMNASIUM. FORTUNATELY, SUCH AN UNDERTAKING ALIGNED WELL WITH A DESIRE ON THE PART OF THE ALMA MATER SOCIETY AND THE UNIVERSITY TO BUILD A WAR MEMORIAL FOR THE 247 STUDENTS LOST IN THE TWO WORLD WARS.

UBC’s war dead included physical education graduate, James Douglas Hamilton. After serving as a navy patrolman in the North Atlantic during World War II, Hamilton enrolled in the UBC Canadian Officer Training Corps while studying for his physical education degree, and returned to action as a lieutenant in the battle for the Korean Peninsula. After learning that he had been killed in action, his friends and classmates established an undergraduate bursary, the Lieutenant James Douglas Hamilton Prize, in his memory.

were required to take an equal number of courses from other departments within the Faculty of Arts and Science, including junior level graduation prerequisites. “There was no customization in physical education; everybody had to take the same thing,” recalled 1950 graduate Carol Slight. “You also needed four courses a year from arts and science, so obtaining a degree in physical education essentially meant taking a double major.” Physical education students also continued to assist faculty members to teach junior level activity courses that were now compulsory for all UBC students. The practical experience continued to be valuable for the majority who would enter teacher training the year after receiving their physical education degrees. As demand for the compulsory classes continued to rise in step with general student population growth, new faculty members were added, beginning in the fall of 1948 with the appointment of an accomplished Canadian golfer and tennis player named Marjorie Leeming. A one-time competitor in the US Open in tennis, Leeming came to UBC after many years of teaching and administrative service in Vancouver schools, but resigned her teaching post just three years later to accept a job as assistant to UBC Dean of Women, Dr. Dorothy Mawdsley. Other early newcomers to the women’s program included Hawaiian-born dance specialist Marjorie Miller and gymnastics

Energetic and practically minded, Smith earned the respect of his peers and elected members of Vancouver’s Board of Parks and Recreation, particularly during the early stages of his career when he led the design and construction of the city’s popular Kitsilano and Kerrisdale Community Centres. He was eventually named the first-ever director of recreation for the Board of Parks and Recreation and was a co-founder of the BC Recreation Association, a professional organization that included a growing number of UBC graduates. He also left his marks upon the School of Physical Education as a member of the committee that in 1958 proposed and recommended a new degree program in recreation education.

Chapter Three: THE EARLY YEARS :: 45


It would take some years, however, before UBC’s female students enjoyed the same opportunities in competitive sport as their male counterparts. Although intercollegiate sport was well entrenched on Point Grey, it continued to exclude women’s competition. The noticeably skilled and well-coached “Thunderettes” women’s basketball team, by way of example, continued to play in the Lower Mainland’s senior leagues, with their schedules augmented only slightly by friendly intercollegiate matches with Western Washington University, Whitworth and Everett colleges, or by the occasional train trip to the University of Alberta or the University of Saskatchewan. UBC’s women’s field hockey teams also enjoyed tremendous success in local competition. Under the coaching of May Brown, UBC was consistently victorious success in the highly competitive Greater Vancouver Senior Women’s Grass Hockey League, and was even more dominant against American teams, rarely losing a game in 10 consecutive tournament victories at the Northwest Collegiate Championships in Seattle. One of May Brown’s field hockey standouts during this period was 1952 physical education graduate Barbara “Bim” Schrodt. Inspired by Brown’s passion and expertise as a physical educator, Schrodt attended graduate school at the University of Oregon where she earned a master’s degree in 1957. In the meantime, however, her former coach and mentor left UBC in 1955 and was temporarily replaced by a former McGill classmate named Alice Trevis. Trevis’ decision to return to Montreal after just two years at UBC opened the door for Barbara Schrodt to return to her alma mater as a teacher, field hockey coach and the university’s first women’s athletic director. Schrodt’s return to Point Grey and her influence upon women’s athletics was just one element of the evolutionary period that took hold within the school in the latter part of the 1950s. Another was the closure of the Vancouver Normal School in 1956, which resulted in the Department of Education at UBC expanding to offer full degree programs, including undergraduate courses in physical education. With demand for physical education instruction at UBC now at an all-time high, teachers from the Vancouver Normal School received joint appointments in the School of Physical Education and Department of Education. A third element was the expansion of public municipal recreation facilities and services in urban regions throughout the province, and an emergent need for the training of sport and recreation administrators that the UBC School of Physical Education was uniquely positioned to provide. Finally, amid so much change both on the campus and in communities throughout the province, discussions about UBC becoming home to Canada’s first graduate program in physical education pointed to an even more promising destiny.

Dr. Maxwell Howell’s arrival in 1954 sparked a turning point in the evolution of the UBC School of Physical Education and the development of sport studies and sport science as academic disciplines at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. After almost 20 years at the University of Alberta, Howell returned to Australia in 1981 as Foundation Professor in the Department of Human Movement Studies at The University of Queensland, a role from which he begrudgingly faced mandatory retirement in 1992. In 2003, he was awarded the Order of Australia for service as a pioneer in the development of sports studies and sport science as academic disciplines and to the study of sports history. As the years went by he became an increasingly prolific publisher, having written more than 50 books and 300 articles by the time he passed away in February 2014.

In addition to teaching, he became the UBC swim coach, an assistant varsity rugby coach under Albert Laithwaite, and head coach of the UBC Braves junior varsity side. The Braves were undefeated in three of the five seasons in which Howell was coach. When Laithwaite retired in 1959, Howell took over the varsity head coaching reins and began to garner national notoriety as a coaching innovator. Under his leadership the Thunderbirds won the 1960 Miller Cup as city champions, followed by the BC Rugby Union’s 1961 McKechnie Cup and the World Cup that same year.

The growth in municipal infrastructure presented further opportunities for graduates of the school to influence emergent cultures of physical activity and recreation, including an accomplished gymnast and former Pro-Rec instructor named Don Cunnings. After completing his studies in 1962, Cunnings began a career that would see him become one of the most distinguished figures in the profession, beginning with his first post as director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Coquitlam, his election for two consecutive terms as president of the BC Recreation Association, and his subsequent election as vice-president of the Canadian Association of Physical Education, Health Education and Recreation. Another key influencer was Ken Winslade, a former Thunderbirds basketball player who completed his master’s degree in 1963 and similarly had a long and distinguished career in municipal administration, beginning with his first position as director of Parks and Recreation for the City of New Westminster.

He later went to work for his friend Don Cunnings as director of Parks and Recreation for Port Coquitlam, where he prepared design and site location plans for the Port Coquitlam Recreation Centre, the first multi-purpose ice arena and recreation centre in the province.

National Sport System Progress in the development of the school’s academic programs in the 1960s was matched by the expansion of its varsity athletic program, particularly in the case of men’s teams that received the bulk of funding. In 1961, at the urging of Bob Osborne, a meeting of representatives from the Western Canada Intercollegiate Athletic Association (WCIAA) member institutions was held at UBC and chaired by Professor Whit Matthews, then dean of pharmacy, that resulted in the WCIAA joining two other regional associations consisting of member institutions from Ontario and Quebec to form the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union (CIAU), a national sport governing body under whose auspices the first official men’s national university championships were organized. By this time the school oversaw a broad-based varsity program comprised of individual and team sports. In addition to the major sports, the program at various times included tennis, badminton, curling, gymnastics, swimming and diving, fencing, wrestling, baseball, figure skating, weightlifting, sailing, archery, judo, golf and skiing. The expansion in scope was largely the result of students having a great deal of formalized influence over the program’s make-up and development. The simple fact that student fees constituted the vast majority of funding for varsity teams provided the rationale for the student-driven administrative model, comprised of men’s and women’s athletic committees and directorates. The result was a form of student governance that, among other things, determined the hierarchy of “major” and “minor” sports. As athletic directors, Bus Phillips, Bim Schrodt, and later Marilyn Pomfret, had to be responsive to students’ concerns and skillful in building consensus among their elected representatives, as control of the varsity athletic program ultimately rested in the hands of students. The formalization of the CIAU in 1961 was greeted enthusiastically by Osborne and Phillips, particularly since it presented an alternative league for the Thunderbirds football team, which continued to struggle in the US Evergreen Conference. The result was that the school officially

Students and Sport Governance By the close of the 1950’s, the School of Physical Education oversaw a broadbased varsity program comprised of both individual and team sports that were structured and categorized as either “major” or “minor.” In addition to the major sports of football, hockey, rugby, basketball, volleyball, rowing and soccer, the program at various times also included tennis, badminton, curling, gymnastics, swimming and diving, fencing, wrestling, baseball, figure skating, weightlifting, sailing, archery, judo, golf and skiing. The expansion in scope was largely the result of students having a great deal of formalized influence over the program’s make-up and development.

As athletic directors, Bus Phillips, Bim Schrodt, and later Marilyn Pomfret, had to be responsive to students’ concerns and skillful in building consensus among their elected representatives, as control of the varsity athletic program ultimately rested in the hands of students. In spite of the inherent challenges to maintain operational and fiscal control over the growing number of teams, both Schrodt and Pomfret expressed the belief that the role students played in administering the program augmented their learning experiences and provided them with unique opportunities to develop leadership skills that would serve them well in future years. Bob Osborne himself had served a term of student leadership in his undergraduate days, having been elected by acclamation in the spring of 1932 as President of the Men’s Athletic Committee.

retrenched from its aspirations to affiliate with a US college system, even though some teams had fared well against American teams. The men’s basketball team, by way of example, had proven to be worthy competitors against US teams, however head coach Jack Pomfret welcomed the move to the newly formed Canadian league and the opportunity to develop a made-in-Canada brand of university sport.

Future CIAU coaching legend Peter Mullins took over from Pomfret in the 1961-62 season and directed the team to its third straight conference crown.

Led by physical education student Ron Thorsen (pictured at right), UBC won its first Buchanan Cup in 1970 with a 103-67 victory over Simon Fraser.

For Frank Gnup’s football team, however, repatriation was a much more gradual process. From 1959 to 1963 the Thunderbirds played single games against Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, yet continued to play exhibition contests against Western Washington, Pacific Lutheran and other American teams from the Pacific Northwest region. It wasn’t until 1970 that UBC exclusively joined Calgary, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba in a balanced home-and-away eight-game schedule, followed by playoff games leading to the Canadian College Bowl. The only non-conference game it played was against a new university atop Burnaby Mountain, one that startled universities across Canada by declaring its teams would compete exclusively as members of the US-based National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).

discontent among a growing number of female students, some of whom argued that the School of Physical Education itself treated its female students as an appendage in comparison to their male counterparts, and advocated for a learning environment characterized by a non-competitive orientation towards physical education. The disparity was nowhere more evident than by the austere and undersized facility that was home to female physical education students and their teachers. Built in 1929 as Varsity Gymnasium, the building was renamed the Women’s Gymnasium after War Memorial Gym was completed in 1951 and became headquarters for the men’s program. But as the years went by, forces of change were mobilizing. One of the pioneer proponents of gender equity within both UBC and the CIAU was former physical education student Marilyn Russell. Following her graduation from UBC, Russell taught school in her home town of Winnipeg and later at West Vancouver High School. In 1963 she made her way back to Point Grey to teach in the UBC School of Physical Education, coach the women’s volleyball team and eventually take over from Bim Schrodt as women’s athletic director. For many years, beginning in her undergraduate days as president of the Women’s Athletic Association, she had observed first-hand

Co-coaches Ken Shields and Norm Vickery, both School of Physical Education graduates, directed an outstanding roster that included physical education students Brenda McFarlane, Wendy Grant, Terri McGovern, Joanne Sargent and Kathy Shields (nee Williams). Although national university championships for women had not yet been inaugurated, the team won both the 1970 Canada West and Canadian Senior A championship. McGovern, Sargent and Shields went on to play for Canada’s national team. Subsequently married, Ken and Kathy Shields rose to prominence in basketball coaching with the University of Victoria and with Canada’s men’s and women’s national teams.

how UBC’s female athletes possessed an equally competitive spirit as did their male counterparts, in stark contrast to the prevailing perception that women were too delicate for strenuous physical activities. As women’s athletic director, Russell’s resolve grew steadily stronger to address the issue of the ever-widening chasm between the opportunities afforded male and female students and student-athletes. Above all, she refused to accept that there were no CIAU championships for women, even though the WCIAA now included a women’s regular-season basketball schedule and conference championship. In the same 1969-70 season that Mullins’ men’s squad swept all opponents en route to their widely feted national title, the Thunderettes went 32-6 overall and won the WCIAA Championships as well as the Canadian Senior A Championships, but had no opportunity to compete for a national university championship. Interestingly, Russell had already taken the matter to the CIAU Annual General Meeting just a few months earlier in June of 1969. As the representative of a group of six female university athletic administrators from across Canada, she challenged the maledominated organization to address the gender issue. What happened there and in the weeks and months that followed set the stage for radical change in the structure and delivery of Canadian university sport.

Marilyn Pomfret As a UBC physical education student, Marilyn Pomfret (nee Russell) was actively involved in student affairs, beginning with her election to the Physical Education Undergraduate Society executive and as a member of the UBC Women's Undergraduate Society. As a third-year student in 1953-54, she was elected president of the Women's Athletic Directorate and was also a member of the Alma Mater Society executive. She graduated in 1954 but returned to UBC in 1963 to teach and coach the varsity women’s volleyball team for 11 seasons, guiding her team to three Western Canada university championships and two CIAU national titles. She later assumed the responsibilities of director of Women's Athletics. Her involvement in national university sport governance under the auspices of the CIAU and her dedication to the principles of equality led to improvements, both at UBC and nationally, in opportunities for female student-athletes. Following her retirement in 1986 she was awarded the CIAU Austin-Matthews Award for outstanding contribution to the development of university sport in Canada and a Vancouver YWCA Woman of Distinction Award. She is also a member of the BC and UBC Sports Halls of Fame.

UBC’s 1969-70 women’s gymnastics team won the Western Canada Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship and competed in the first-ever national championships for women under the auspices of the newly founded Canadian Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic Union. The team included physical education student and 1968 Olympian Sandra Hartley (third from right).

Alberta, Toronto and Saskatchewan, Pomfret put forth a motion to the General Assembly to inaugurate national university championships for women. When CIAU president Maury Van Vliet called for a vote on the resolution, it was defeated on the grounds of prohibitive expense for both the organization and its member institutions. Although Van Vliet had verbally supported the resolution on behalf of the University of Alberta, he was compelled to side with the opposing majority who argued that the funding obstacles between their institutions and sending their women’s teams to national championships across the vastness of Canada could simply not be overcome. Facing an ethical dilemma, Van Vliet approached Pomfret following the adjournment and asked what she planned to do next. Perturbed, but undaunted, she refused to answer other than to say “you will have to wait to read tomorrow’s newspaper to find out.” What the sports sections reported the following day was that Pomfret and her supporters had pledged to inaugurate a new organization, the Canadian Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic Union (CWIAU). They made good on their declaration in the 1969-70 season when, with funding support from the federal Ministry of Fitness and Amateur Sport, women’s university teams from Vancouver to Montreal competed in invitational championships in volleyball, gymnastics and swimming.

men’s and women’s university sport. In addition, thanks to Osborne and Bob Hindmarch and their expansive network of international associates, the School of Physical Education led the way in creating other extraordinary opportunities for student-athletes, including an increasing amount of friendly competition against Asian teams both at home and in China and Japan. In the midst of the Cultural Revolution, UBC’s hockey team, coached by Hindmarch, undertook a historically significant diplomatic tour of China. Acting on a 1973 request from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hindmarch and his players became the first foreign hockey team to enter China, where they played friendly games throughout the country and conducted clinics in an effort to help Chinese sport officials popularize the game among youth and develop a national team program. In 1978, UBC’s women’s hockey team conducted a similar tour in Japan, becoming the second Canadian women’s hockey team to play in Asia. Partnerships with universities throughout Korea, Japan and Hong Kong soon followed. By now it was overwhelmingly clear that one of the key objectives established by the founders of the School of Physical Education—enhancing its varsity athletics program—had been realized. Thanks to the steady recruitment of skilled and specialized coaches by Osborne, Phillips and Pomfret, UBC Thunderbird teams enjoyed almost universal success in both national and international competition. The one increasingly obvious exception, however, was the football team. In spite of the efforts of one of the most well-known and popular figures on campus, Frank Gnup’s teams posted just 10 wins against 38 losses between 1970 and 1973. Fortunes improved measurably, however, after Phillips approached Sentinel High School teacher and coach Frank Smith, who took over as head football coach in 1974. With five years of professional playing experience in the CFL and 18 years of coaching experience on both sides of

One of the most celebrated teams in UBC rugby history was that of 1970-71. Coached by alumnus and recently appointed physical education faculty member Donn Spence, and led by the likes of students Spence McTavish and Barry Legh, the Thunderbirds won 21 of 22 games en route to the Vancouver First Division Championship, the McKechnie Cup provincial championship and the Western Canadian University Championships. They capped off the historic season on March 23 with a 17-10 win over previously undefeated UCLA in the annual World Cup series before a crowd of some 3,000 fans.

the Canada-US border, not to mention a master’s degree in education, Smith had the credentials and determination to turn the Thunderbird football program into a source of pride for the university and a jewel in its varsity crown. It would take just three seasons for his team to capture a Canada West championship, and with it, the Hardy Cup trophy which had not resided on Point Grey for 14 seasons. The fortunes of UBC’s track and field team also rose to national prominence in the 1970s, thanks in large measure to the appointment of English-born head coach Lionel Pugh, a graduate of the University of Wales and Carnegie College. From 1964 to 1987 Pugh taught in the school and served as head coach of the cross-country and track and field teams. Pugh had been

of the British track team for 11 years. He also served as an expert commentator for the British Broadcasting Corporation during coverage of national and international track and field events and wrote several books on the sport. Pugh coached UBC to four national titles and numerous Canada West championships. During his 23 years at UBC, 14 of his athletes represented Canada at the Olympic Games. An Olympic coach for Canada in 1972 and 1980, his knowledge and motivational manner contributed significantly to the success of a long list of UBC and international competitors, including School of Physical Education graduates Thelma Wright, Patti Loverock, Anne Mackie-Morelli, Ken Elmer and Rick Cuttell. Soccer became a CIAU sport in 1972 and it took just two years for UBC to capture its first of many CIAU banners in the fall of 1974 under the coaching of former Glasgow Ranger Joe Johnson. Johnson, who coached UBC for 25 seasons and after whom the CIAU Player of the Year trophy was later named, led UBC to national championships again in 1984 and 1985. By this time volleyball was also well entrenched at university athletic departments across Canada. Head coach Lorne Sawula and future national team members Tom Jones and Merv Mosher led UBC’s men’s volleyball team to its second CIAU championship in 1976. Former team member and physical education graduate Dale Ohman subsequently took over as head coach and guided UBC to a third title in 1983. Foreshadowing the phenomenal success that would later emerge for UBC swim teams, UBC’s women’s swim team was a formidable contender throughout the 1970s under coach Jack

Pomfret, who guided his team to a CWIAU Championship in 1974, the first in a long list of national championships that followed almost routinely in subsequent decades. His coaching achievements notwithstanding, Pomfret’s greatest contribution to varsity swimming, if not to sport in general on campus, was his leadership role in a campaign to build an indoor aquatic centre. His efforts resulted in funding support from both the Alma Mater Society and the federal government, namely from Iona Campagnola, then Minister of State for Fitness and Amateur Sport, and UBC alumnus and Minister of Finance John Turner, who had been a varsity sprinter and swimmer in his undergraduate days. With the opening of the $5.4-million UBC Aquatic Centre in 1978, Pomfret had effectively set the stage for the development of Canada’s most successful university swim program and eventually the establishment of a national training centre that produced a long line of international competitors.

Under the leadership of Jack Pomfret, and with the help of the Alma Mater Society, the federal government and local supporters, money was raised to build the UBC Aquatic Centre. Constructed between the AMS building and War Memorial Gym, it opened September 27, 1978 and served campus and public use in tandem with the outdoor Empire Pool that was constructed for the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. A critical system failure forced the closure of the Empire Pool in February 2014.

But at the same time as the School of Physical Education’s varsity athletic program was reaching new heights, it was also sharpening its focus on developing new recreational sport

opportunities for the rank and file of students. The intramural sports program that had been conceived prior to the Second World War by Gertrude Moore and Maury Van Vliet was now in the capable hands of Dick Ramsey. But with the arrival of a new young faculty member named Nestor Korchinsky, so too arrived a new vision for a program that would eventually grow to become a model of student engagement across North America. Korchinsky came to UBC in 1967 from the University of Alberta where he had been a star athlete and graduated with a master’s degree in physical education. Recalling the stunning beauty of the Point Grey campus when he first set foot there as a member of the Alberta Golden Bears football, basketball and swim teams, he enthusiastically accepted Bob Osborne’s offer of employment to coach and teach at UBC. For the first two years he taught a range of physical education activity classes and served as an assistant coach for the football team, after which he described a “breakthrough moment” occurred. “I was standing just outside the doorways of War Memorial Gym looking at the North Shore mountains and thinking how incredibly fortunate I was to be doing what I loved at the most beautiful university campus in the entire world. Then I looked down at the playing fields where the old Varsity Stadium once stood. They were empty. That’s when it hit me. UBC was a beautiful place, but it needed a soul.” Still not yet 30 years old, Korchinsky determined that the key to providing UBC with the soul it lacked was the development of an intramural sport and recreation program that would be the envy of every university in Canada, and one that would be so diverse that it would have something to offer every student, irrespective of their athletic experience or skill level. In 1971, with the full blessing of Ramsey, he took his idea to Osborne, who quickly recognized the passion in his voice and gave him the authority to pursue his ambitions. Within just a few short years, UBC’s Intramural Sports and Recreation Department offered league sports of every description, multi-day tournaments and a series of mass participation events. The program’s unique characteristics and explosive popularity drew the attention of counterparts at universities across North America, and contributed immeasurably to the vibrancy of student life throughout the years that followed.

After graduating from the Bachelor of Recreation Education program in 1982, Joan Webster (nee Pilcher) became associate director of the intramural sports program and was influential in developing new opportunities for UBC students to compete in a vast range of league sports and special events. Her efforts and enthusiasm for enhancing student life through sport contributed immeasurably to UBC becoming home to an intramural sports program that attracted over 10,000 participants annually and became a model for other universities across North America. Following her retirement, Webster remained active at UBC as a member of the Board of Directors of the UBC Alumni Association, by helping to establish an alumni division for student staff of the Intramural Sports and Recreation program and as a participant in the School of Kinesiology’s mentorship program.

Eric Broom worked as a teacher in the School of Physical Education and an associate deputy minister for sport in British Columbia. In 1975, four years after receiving his PhD in physical education from the University of Illinois, Broom began teaching the first coach education courses at UBC. A technical expert and coach educator for rugby, athletics, swimming, tennis and field hockey, he influenced the careers of a countless number of coaches in Canada.

Faculty member and swim coach Jack Kelso led UBC teams to two national titles, seven conference championships and trained many notable UBC swimmers, including Olympians Bruce Berger, Kevin Draxinger and Turlough O'Hare. As a student, he swam for the University of Denver, setting NCAA and world records, and winning four medals at the Commonwealth Games. After his retirement in 1998, he set numerous long-standing world records in masters swimming and was inducted into the UBC Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.

expanding a then-narrow focus on training physical education teachers and community recreation administrators, and to create a school with superb undergraduate and graduate programs. He emphasized the importance of new knowledge frameworks for research and instruction, including exercise science and sport studies that were developing elsewhere in North America. These he felt could help situate the school’s science-based courses—exercise physiology, motor control and learning, biomechanics, sport psychology and sport sociology—in a more coherent framework that was discipline-focused, whereas the professional preparation component could emphasize research on instruction, coaching and leadership. Driving this was a clear need to hire people whose research would help lead the school into the next phase of its development. Over time, this resulted in a series of appointments of new faculty members with keen research interests, including a former University of Washington friend and colleague named Hal Lawson. Others included former Olympic soccer team coach Ian Franks, who brought expertise in both motor learning and sport analysis; biomechanics specialist Gord Robertson from the University of Waterloo, who later moved to the University of Ottawa, and

The UBC Sports Medicine Centre opened in 1979 in the John Owen Pavilion on the south campus. The first of its kind in Canada, the joint venture between the School of Physical Education and the Faculty of Medicine became a world-renowned leader in sport medicine, an emerging and critically important new field of study and practice. It underwent extensive renovations in 1987 and was renamed the Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Centre that same year.

Bob Sparks, a sociocultural specialist, was appointed in 1980 while still completing a PhD at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, a school long recognized as an important centre for the development of sport studies in North America. A year later another Massachusetts graduate with sociocultural interests named Rick Gruneau joined the school. Angelo Belcastro, an exercise physiology and biochemistry specialist from Alberta, arrived in 1987. With Morford at the helm, the school continued a gradual evolutionary turn towards a new destiny. Integrated exercise, kinesiology and sport science programs and research agendas were now at the top of the school’s priority list, with important connections to various external partners, including Sport Canada and the medical community. The latter resulted in the creation of the Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Centre in 1979, and with it, the addition of sport medicine faculty and researchers. The first of its kind in Canada, the joint venture between the school and the Faculty of Medicine became a world-renowned leader in sport medicine, an emerging and critically important new field of study and practice.

Physicians Doug Clement, Jack Taunton and Don McKenzie joined the school as joint appointments with the Department of Family Practice, which was coincidentally headed by Morford’s former UBC rugby team mate, Peter Grantham. The Buchanan Exercise Science Laboratory meanwhile, under the direction of Ted Rhodes, signaled the beginning of meaningful emphasis on physiological research. Although plans to build the laboratory in the basement of the new Aquatic centre had been initiated before Morford’s appointment as director, it became an important and symbolic asset for the future he envisioned after it opened in 1978, attracting an increasing number of graduate students from across Canada and various parts of the world. Between 1979 and 1985, over 40 students utilized the lab to collect data and complete master’s degrees under the supervision of Rhodes and Don McKenzie, who published numerous papers throughout this period. The importance of the lab was further highlighted when Rhodes was awarded a research grant of $3.5 million to administer the British Columbia portion of the Canada Fitness Survey, a federal government program initiated in 1977, which required graduate students to travel to homes across the province over a six-month period to conduct fitness testing among residents. As the school’s research environment slowly grew and evolved throughout the 1980s, so too did the publications and conference presentations on the part of its faculty. By the end of the decade, the undergraduate curriculum had also undergone substantial change, driven in part by a weakened provincial economy, resulting in the Bachelor of Recreation Education beginning a four-year phase-out period in 1985 as part of university financial restraint. The pill was no doubt a bitter one, for the program had produced many graduates who had profoundly influenced municipalities throughout the province by producing community recreation leaders who had created facilities and programs serving all ages. One of the most prominent influencers was Clyde Griffith, who moved to Victoria in 1973 and served in a

leadership capacity for 22 years in the Recreation Branch of the Ministry of Housing, Recreation and Consumer Services. In 1987, radical curricular changes were approved for the Bachelor of Physical Education degree that reflected widening strength of faculty and gradual changes in career aspirations of graduates. The offerings were expanded to include seven program choices available to entering students: exercise science, health and fitness, leisure studies, leisure and sport administration, motor performance and control, instruction and coaching, and general studies. Correspondingly, performance requirements were drastically reduced.

Another substantial change from the school’s original mandate occurred in 1987 when a special committee established by UBC President David Strangway recommended that ties between the school and its intramural and varsity athletics programs be severed, even though many of the coaches held dual appointments within the school. In spite of his belief in maintaining performance programs and practical community-focused components, Morford didn’t openly oppose their imminent divestment, perhaps having seen the writing on the wall as early as 1980 when he was surprised to learn that Bob Hindmarch, who had been appointed to succeed Bus Phillips as athletic director, would report not to him, but to a university vice-president. Hindmarch was by now a full professor and an influential figure within sport circles in Canada, including the CIAU and the Canadian Olympic Association. Although he clearly respected and admired Morford, Hindmarch became increasingly convinced that the university needed to have more direct control over what was now called the Department of Athletics and Sport Services, and which by this time included community-focused instructional courses and summer camp programs as well as control of the majority of sport fields and facilities. Faculty members and staff who were witness to the split between the school and the Department of Athletics and Sport Services saw little reaction on Morford’s part that would indicate anything other than that he accepted and possibly even approved the move. Upon reflection many years later, however, his tone belied deep disappointment over what he perceived to have been a change of heart concerning the future of the school on the part of the university’s leaders. “After just six years, there would be a new president and a succession of deans of education who would provide no back-up or have no knowledge, much less interest, in where I was on the path to take the school over a fifteen-year period,” he said just a few months prior to his death in 2012. “Had I known that the school whose directorship I accepted was going to splinter off from its service components that it was known for across the country, I would not have accepted

the job as Bob Osborne’s successor.” The separation notwithstanding, the years of Bob Morford’s time as director were marked by significant evolutionary milestones that brought the school closer to the forefront of developments in North America, not only by way of advancing a research agenda, but also in teaching and professional development with a more contemporary vision of physical education and kinesiology. Indeed, one of the school’s most compelling testaments to his aspirations was the Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Centre. Following its inception in 1979, the centre

flourished not only as a service to local and national sport communities, but also as a centre of learning and research, highlighted in 1985 when a promising young physician from Montreal named Rob Lloyd-Smith became the first to complete a fellowship in sports medicine under the supervision of Jack Taunton and Doug Clement, who were by this time recognized widely as among the discipline’s renowned pioneers. Another was the establishment of the Canadian Soccer Association’s centre for the development of Olympic team players under the direction of Ian Franks. Conceived by Morford, the association’s technical director Bill Thomson and national team coach Barry Clarke, and with additional support of external partners that included Sport Canada, the centre became a model for national sport centres that subsequently emerged around the globe. Moreover, it further exemplified Morford’s deft hand at forging strategic partnerships to optimize research resources and practical outcomes. His leadership contributions exacted a toll, however, as he was forced to face contentious issues resulting from the changes to the school’s objectives and the effect upon pioneering faculty members who had established its legacy foundations. Those who taught in the teacher education program were given the choice to remain in the school or move more directly into the Faculty of Education. Similarly, when the split with the Department of Athletics and Sport Services occurred, Morford opened the possibility for those affected to opt for split appointments, the

Under the leadership of Nestor Korchinsky and Bachelor of Recreation Education graduates Joan Pilcher and Lorne Bodin, UBC’s intramural sports and recreation program became widely regarded throughout Canada as an exemplary model for enriching campus life with a wide range of league sports, multi-day tournaments and mass participation events. With significant financial support provided by the Alma Mater Society, the program was operated out of offices in the Student Union Building. By the end of the 1980s the departments programs attracted over 10,000 student participants annually. The Arts 20 Relay, a team running event that retraced the steps of the Great Trek from the site of the original Fairview campus to Point Grey, was eventually halted by Vancouver City Police, who argued that the event had created unmanageable gridlock through the streets of Vancouver’s west side. A multi-sport relay event called Storm the Wall, meanwhile, became an annual spectacle for thousands of students near the end of each academic year.

most notable of whom were Nestor Korchinsky, who continued teaching but also oversaw the intramural sports program, and Dick Mosher, who successfully balanced his academic commitments with coaching men’s and women’s varsity soccer teams. The remainder of faculty members with coaching responsibilities were given a choice to move full-time into the school or to the athletic department. While the majority opted for coaching duties with a varsity team, women’s field hockey coach Gail Wilson and men’s rugby coach Barry Legh both opted to remain as senior instructors in the school. When the dust eventually settled, the school had been significantly, and to some, shockingly transformed from its traditional structure and mandate, with all faculty members being variously engaged in teaching, research and community service, but no longer as coaches of varsity teams. Morford was recruited by San Francisco State University at around the time he stepped down from leadership responsibilities in the school. Their offer coincided with severe budget reductions in California, however, and on learning this Morford declined and advised them to appoint internally and use his proposed salary to negotiate the anticipated shortfalls. They did so reluctantly, and after a year’s administrative leave at UBC, Morford returned to the classroom. He volunteered to teach undergraduate students in addition to his graduate

Peter Mullins In 1955, at age 29, Dr. Peter Mullins joined the teaching staff of the School of Physical Education and began coaching the track and field and freshman basketball teams, and in 1962 took over as coach of the Thunderbird basketball team. He remained head coach of the track and field until 1964, a year that saw team members Doug Kyle and Doug Clement qualify for the Olympic Games. In his 20 years as varsity basketball coach, he led the Thunderbirds to 337 victories against US and Canadian competition. His teams won the Western Canadian university championship seven times and the Canadian university championship twice. In 1982, at age 56, Mullins stepped down from his coaching duties but continued to be a teacher and counselor until his retirement. His UBC head-coaching career of 29 years is the second longest in the school's history, after that of his colleague Jack Pomfret. He was named coach of Canada's National Team in 1969 and piloted a new four-year program of selection and training of Canadian players in preparation for the 1971 Pan-Am Games and the 1972 Olympics. His contribution to university basketball in Canada has been recognized through the Dr. Peter Mullins Trophy, awarded to the nation's Rookie of the Year.

In 1986 he also assumed the role of head soccer coach, and thereby began one of the most successful coaching careers in the history of Canadian university sports. In nine seasons with the Thunderbirds men's team and 16 with the women's team, he posted a combined overall record of 244-54-50, including a record of 26-4-2 at national championships and 14 podium finishes (nine gold, two silver, three bronze) in 14 appearances at the national tournament. In addition to maintaining teaching responsibilities and advising graduate students in the school throughout his coaching career, he also served one year as interim athletic director. He was inducted into the UBC Sports Hall of Fame in 2017.

While a critical mass of talent had begun to accumulate within the school by the mid-1970s, research grants were scarce, save for small university allotments for equipment and infrastructure. Funded opportunities eventually began to appear, however, in the form of applied research contracts, including a substantial one awarded by the provincial Ministry of Education to Sinclair, Mosher, Carre and Schutz to conduct fitness testing of some 3,000 school students from across the province. Rhodes, meanwhile, designed advanced fitness testing techniques for firefighters and elite athletes, thereby creating sponsored research opportunities for graduate students and enhancing the school’s public profile and reputation at the same time. The evolution towards exercise science at UBC and elsewhere indeed validated the curriculum reforms that Schutz and Peterson had recommended more than a decade earlier. Now as a faculty member, Schutz was again keen to contribute towards expanding the school’s scope of learning and research. To that end, he became increasingly active in academic affairs, including serving as chair of the Graduate Committee and of the Department of Sport Science. Not surprisingly, he also welcomed the news of Bob Morford’s appointment as the school’s new director in 1978. Schutz had long respected Morford, and even more so in light of his more recent accomplishments to create a kinesiology program at the University of Washington. He was also encouraged by the widening spectrum of research interests that occurred once Morford was appointed, including sociocultural expertise that was particularly well exemplified by Patricia Vertinsky, who during her tenure at UBC became a prolific publisher and influential thinker across the fields of women’s studies and gender history. Bob Sparks and Rick Gruneau also began contributing growing expertise to sociocultural areas, while biomechanics specialist Dave Sanderson and motor learning and sport analysis expert Ian Franks had similarly begun making deep impressions over what would turn out to be long careers in their respective fields at UBC. Finally, the opening of the Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Centre was a particularly encouraging sign that UBC was becoming increasingly fertile ground for anyone wanting to pursue scholarly horizons in

Patricia Vertinsky was one of a number of faculty members whose appointment was made possible by Bob Morford’s determination, together with the support of UBC president Douglas Kenny, to establish a stronger research focus within the school. She is a Distinguished University Scholar, a prolific publisher and has long been an influential thinker across the fields of women’s studies and gender history. She is director of the Physical Cultural Studies and Sport History group, which as part of the socio-cultural research group in the school, is exploring a variety of topics within the areas of sociology and history of sport, physical activity and embodiment.

Biomechanics specialist David Sanderson made numerous contributions beyond his teaching and research work. Following his arrival from Pennsylvania State University in 1986, he undertook important committee work at the school, faculty and university level, including leading the graduate committee that refined and approved a PhD proposal. He also served as senior associate director in the years preceding his retirement in 2013.

As much as the school aimed its sights on the future, it also maintained its traditional focus on training physical educators. To that end it retained many outstanding teachers offering wide ranging expertise who had been appointed by Osborne in earlier years, including Eric Broom, Anne Tilley, Bonnie Gordon, Sharon Whittaker-Bleuler, and Jean Cunningham. The faculty roster also included pedagogy specialists who held dual appointments in the school and the Faculty of Education, including Moira Luke, Peter Moody, Anne Anthony, Gary Pennington and Inge Williams. Overwhelmingly, however, it was the vast potential for the future that intrigued Bob Schutz, prompting him to remain actively involved in the school’s ongoing development, but stopping short of any aspiration to venture into the realm of administration. He was first and foremost a teacher and researcher, and one who had become well recognized within the increasingly scientific realm of sport performance analysis. Reluctantly, however, he agreed to serve as the school’s director in an acting capacity for a one-year period beginning in 1985 when Morford took a sabbatical, and again in 1989 when the search for Morford’s replacement began. By this time Schutz was well connected to various deans and campus influencers. The result was that internal pressure was brought to bear from both within and outside the school for him to accept the appointment as director after a year-long search failed to identify a suitable successor, culminating in him agreeing to a five-year term in 1990. Little did he know, however, that a fiscal shock awaited him as the school’s third director. With the province’s resourcebased economy still weakened by a prolonged downturn in commodity prices, there was little capital funding available for any UBC faculties or departments, and operating budgets across the campus had to be stretched in order to maintain the status quo.

Governors and executive team, including President and Vice Chancellor, David Strangway, who was widely credited as being the architect of a remarkable growth strategy. With the aid of his friend and UBC governor Bob Lee, Strangway also created another lucrative source of revenue in the form of a real estate corporation known as UBC Properties Trust, which soon began transferring significant sums into endowments through a strategy to lease a small portion of the university’s

Changing Aging Class Following a hiking accident, UBC alumnus Ed Greathed, pictured at centre in this 1998 photo, became one of the first participants in Changing Aging, a fitness program for older adults designed by Sonya Lumholst-Smith. Greathed was 62 years old in the spring of 1996 when he suffered a serious leg fracture while descending a trail on Mount Seymour. Following surgery, he spent 10 weeks in a convalescent hospital in a hip-to-toe cast, followed by 10 months in physiotherapy. The following year he began looking for an exercise facility to continue his recovery and learned about Lumholst-Smith’s fledgling program. “It was right there at the doorstep of my old alma mater,” he said at the time. He and 16 other like-minded community members, ranging in age from 48 to 84, began attending classes three times a week in October of 1997. By the following year the program had expanded to 128 participants in 19 different classes, all taught by UBC physical education students who had received specialized certification as trainers from experts in exercise physiology for older adults. “The kids don’t miss a thing, they really put their hearts into it,” said Greathed. “They teach us and we teach them.” At the time of the program’s inception, Lumholst-Smith was director of UBC Campus Recreation and Fitness, which was then a component of the Department of Athletics and Recreation.

The success of the campaign and UBC Properties Trust combined to escalate the endowment fund from $85 million in 1985 to over $500 million by the time Strangway retired from UBC in 1997.

had set the stage for further growth under his successor, a gifted and personable leader named Martha Cook Piper.


1999, the Canada Research Chairs effectively gave license to universities across Canada to track down the best innovation talent they could find. From the very beginning, UBC was one of the new program’s most successful recruiters of what Piper passionately referred to as “human capital, the most valuable asset of all.” It was into this charged atmosphere of promise and aspiration that a newcomer named Peter Crocker entered when he was appointed in the fall of 1999 to a five-year term as the school’s fifth director – the same year that the CFI handed out its inaugural research grants totalling $198 million. A British Columbia native, Crocker had completed an undergraduate degree at SFU and became keenly intrigued with the rapidly emerging field of sport psychology. After completing a master’s degree in motor learning, he went to the University of Alberta where he received a PhD in sport psychology and skill acquisition, honing his applied skills by coaching Alberta’s varsity women’s soccer team and examining the effectiveness of stress management programs using the provincial volleyball team as test subjects. His first faculty appointment was at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario where he remained for two years before moving on to the University of Saskatchewan, where he remained for the next 10 years and during which time he helped to establish a doctoral program. “I was getting a little bored in Saskatchewan and saw an opportunity to help transform the school at UBC,” said Crocker. “There were always good undergraduate students at UBC and some very good research faculty, but I felt they needed help to attract more good graduate students.” One of the most immediate solutions that Crocker and others saw to attract greater numbers of top-flight graduate students was to selectively recruit new faculty members to back-fill positions now being vacated by a steady stream of retirees. “I thought ‘this is something I can do for five years.’ I knew there would be some pushback on the part of some faculty but I thought there was great potential. We could grow the exercise physiology, neuro-mechanical and socio-cultural areas. Fortunately there were lots of people on side thanks in large part to Bob Schutz who had promoted similar ideas when he was the school’s director.”

Sports psychology specialist Peter Crocker was appointed to a five-year term as director of the UBC School of Human Kinetics in 1999 and was instrumental in the development of a strategic plan that focused the school’s mission on physical activity and health. He was also responsible for the appointment of nine research-oriented faculty who attracted substantial government research funding. He currently oversees the Exercise and Sport Psychology Laboratory, which combines a variety of interrelated areas within the realms of sport, exercise and health psychology.

In fact a full 50 per cent of the school’s faculty retired during Crocker’s five years as director, which gave way to some emergent ideas among those that remained and those who were recruited. At the same time, however, it was generally concluded among faculty members that a strategic review and planning process would be timely and valuable, particularly if a strong facilitator could be identified to lead it. That individual turned out to be Doug Jardine, the recently retired president of a North Vancouver college that subsequently became Capilano University.

Chapter Seven: FIELDS OF INQUIRY :: 105


Jardine immediately lived up to his reputation as a “straight shooter” who would push timelines and accountability for both a new strategic plan and its attendant actions. Indeed an agreement was soon reached on a matter of considerable weight – to focus the school’s mission and vision on physical activity and health and to consolidate its research enterprise into fewer areas, settling initially on five and ultimately three. “We wanted to consolidate into areas of strength,” said Crocker, who broadly described the three emergent areas as health and integrated physiology, neuro-mechanical kinesiology, and sociocultural studies. Having successfully identified a common direction for the school in the 21st century, the task of recruiting new faculty members could now begin in an even more focused manner. To that end, grants from the CFI helped immensely as the school received close to $500,000 in the early rounds of funding. “That really made a big difference,” Crocker later reflected. Under the terms of the CFI, the recipient institution had to provide only 20 per cent of project costs, with the bulk of the funds being evenly divided between the CFI and simultaneously established provincial counterparts, which in the case of British Columbia was the BC Knowledge Development Fund. “UBC only had to cover 20 per cent of CFI grants so it wasn’t hard to convince the dean that CFIs were a good investment,” said Crocker. Very shortly after receiving its first CFI grants, the school also received approval for a Canada Research Chair position, which was filled by neuro-mechanical specialist Mark Carpenter. Overall, however, the bulk of resources for new faculty hires between the years 2000 and 2005 came as a result of retirements, with approximately half of the school’s longest-serving faculty members leaving during that period. This enabled the appointment of nine new research-oriented faculty members, each of whom appeared to have the right stuff to further elevate the school’s capabilities. To augment the health and integrated physiology stream, the first hire was Bill Sheel, an exercise physiologist who had Photo: Bob Frid

Bob Sparks arrived at UBC in August of 1980 and began his 37-year academic career with a full-time post that consisted of a combination of fifty per cent assistant professor in the School of Physical Education and Recreation and fifty per cent as university diving officer. His many contributions to UBC and to the school included 11 years as director, during which time his collegial leadership resulted in a unified strategy to usher the school on the final leg of a decades-long journey into the upper echelon of kinesiology learning and research in Canada.

On return to Coronado, he instructed free fall parachuting for Naval Special Warfare Group and served as a member of the US Navy parachute exhibition team. A year after completing his enlistment and leaving the Navy, he earned a commercial pilot’s license. Aware of the often shortened careers of airline pilots owing to stringent medical requirements, he simultaneously gave thought to a back-up plan as a teacher, either in flight schools or public education. Encouraged by his father, who had contacts at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst (UMass), he met with the university’s head of sport studies who offered him a full scholarship and teaching assistantship in their general physical education program. Easily tempted by the offer, he enrolled in a master’s program at UMass Amherst in 1973, where he taught scuba diving, rock climbing and an outdoor adventure course. Utilizing

(Diving Education Extension Program). Remarkably, he also continued advanced flight training and eventually completed a commercial flight instructor instrument rating. It was at this time that he received a letter from a former diving student with an advertisement from the Chronicle of Higher Education for a diving officer position at UBC. He wasted no time in applying for the position and promptly received a call from Professor Bob Scagel, head of botany, asking when he could come for an interview. “I was in North Bimini, Bahamas at the time teaching a Project DEEP sport diving course, and barefoot with long hair,” Sparks recalled. “I agreed to come as soon as possible and flew back to Massachusetts where my future wife, Kathy Guild, gave me a haircut and sent me on my way. It was a great interview, and I met a remarkable person, Bob Morford, with whom I identified straightaway as a kindred spirit. I stayed at Hal Lawson’s house for a few extra days and met several times with Bob. He and Hal wondered if I could teach the new Introduction to Sport Studies course the School had just developed. The contents fit well with the course work I had done at UMass and with my interests. My answer was a resounding, ‘yes!’”

He also targeted several key areas for renewal and development, using the literature he had studied at Otago on university administration and models of organization that emphasized collaborative approaches. One of these was the organizational culture of the school. “Basically, I wanted to create a supportive environment among faculty, staff and students and make the school the best place to work, study and learn in Canada, and hopefully North America and the world.” Above all, he was determined that the all-important task of hiring would be one in which all faculty members would be welcomed to take part. He engaged them to collectively identify strategic priorities and develop a hiring plan, with his task being to look for funding opportunities for the positions. At a retreat in December 2004, the school identified hiring priorities which coalesced into three positions: exercise nutrition, sociocultural studies, and sport and exercise psychology, although subsequent circumstances ultimately made it difficult to make appointments strictly according to the plan. Selection committees were convened for each position, the first of which was the psychology position which was filled by Mark Beauchamp, who had completed a PhD at the University of Birmingham, as assistant professor, exercise and sport psychology.

Even though this area had not been identified previously, there was support in the school that resulted in the appointment of recent Université Laval PhD graduate Jean-Sébastien Blouin, who was a post-doctoral fellow in the school at the time and held a doctorate of chiropractic, one of the requirements for the funding. An opportunity to create a joint appointment in kinesiology and sports medicine arose during the hiring process in 2008 for an exercise physiology position. Sparks worked closely with Bob Woollard, head of family practice where the Division of Sports Medicine was located, and Gavin Stuart, dean of medicine to sort out the options.

concern, Sparks applied for and received competitive university funding in 2008 to support hiring two teaching faculty members and a laboratory technician, resulting in the appointments of exercise physiologist Maria Gallo and neuromechanical specialist Paul Kennedy to instructor positions and alumnus Rob Langill as a technician and lecturer. As encouraged as they were with the appointment of such promising talent in their midst, faculty members and students alike were increasingly stifled by the aging, inadequate and decentralized physical environments in which they were forced to work. Sparks’ efforts to find a modern home for the school began in the first week of his directorship when he met with representatives from UBC Properties Trust and senior administration about the procedures for proposing a new building. These early steps began a long process of learning the ropes of central administration and working with other groups on campus that were in similar situations as the school, including nursing, Photo: Rich Lam

interdisciplinary research, interprofessional education and knowledge mobilization concerning community health. In spite of his efforts as the project lead and the continued support of central administration, the CHSC concept ebbed and flowed but failed to become a reality, resulting in members of the school continuing to reside in scattered locations throughout the campus, and leaving unfulfilled the long-held aspiration to find a modern home.

Place and Promise The appointment in 2007 of an international law and human rights scholar named Stephen Toope as UBC’s 12th president, along with the subsequent release of a refreshed strategic plan entitled Place and Promise, appeared to signal the start of a new evolutionary era in the university’s history. Keen to remain aligned with a plan that emphasized student learning, the school undertook bold new initiatives designed to enhance the student experience. Chief among these was a long-held aspiration to develop a co-operative learning program for undergraduate students. Sparks applied for and received competitive university funding in 2008 to support the development of such a program, designed and inaugurated by Dave Sanderson, who was senior associate director, and Simone Longpré, who had been appointed as program coordinator. Next there came a staff position in student development to enhance the school’s student support programs, a role that was capably fulfilled by school alumna Robyn Leuty under the supervision of Sanderson.

As Vancouver prepared to host the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, Bob Sparks seized the opportunity to have UBC involved in various research projects aimed at athlete performance under the umbrella of a national Games-focused strategy called Own The Podium and another called the Olympic Games Impact (OGI) project, a formal assessment of the economic, social and environmental impacts before, during and after the Games. Mandated by the International Olympic Committee, the OGI Project, along with a grant of $300,000, was awarded to the school under Sparks’ direction. The research was conducted by Rob VanWynsberghe, a lecturer in the school at the time, and subsequently an assistant professor in the Faculty of Education. The project grant agreement between UBC and the Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee also provided a stimulus for establishing the UBC Centre for Sport and Sustainability in 2009 as a legacy of the Games.

Part of the rationale for the alumni coordinator position was to identify a network nationally and globally that graduates could draw upon for support, and to align with the university’s broader emphasis on alumni engagement. As these structural pieces came into place under Sanderson̕s leadership, Sparks could see new opportunities in the offing as Vancouver prepared to play host to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

This resulted in funding from the VP External and Legal Affairs Office to support an Olympic and Paralympic theme in departmental seminars across the campus, and a high profile Sport in Society lecture series. Sparks also played a lead role in UBC involvement in various research projects aimed at athlete performance under the umbrella of a national Games-focused strategy called Own The Podium (OTP) and another called the Olympic Games Impact (OGI) project, a formal assessment of the economic, social and environmental impacts before, during and after the Games. Mandated by the International Olympic Committee, the OGI Project, along with a grant of $300,000, was awarded to the school under Sparks’ direction. The research was conducted by Rob VanWynsberghe, a lecturer in the school at the time, and subsequently an assistant professor in the Faculty of Education. The project grant agreement between UBC and VANOC also provided a stimulus for establishing the UBC Centre for Sport and Sustainability in the school in 2009 as a legacy of the Games. Other faculty members also became involved in the Games, with Don McKenzie serving as chair of the Own The Podium Human Performance Awards Committee, Jack Taunton as the chief medical officer for VANOC, and Michael Koehle as a medical officer for Nordic events.

the first of which would be that a two-thirds majority would be required for the name change to pass, and the second was that abstentions would count as a vote against. The voting members in attendance included two undergraduate student representatives, two graduate student representatives and 20 faculty members. After an extensive discussion, a motion was made to change the name to the School of Kinesiology. A count of the closed ballots revealed that 17 votes had been cast in favour and seven opposed with no abstentions, a result which met the two-thirds required majority. A problem, however, soon arose. The Human Kinetics Undergraduate Society executive pointed out that in an online survey conducted prior to the vote,

A fortuitous opportunity subsequently arose when UBC Provost David Farrar, approached Sparks in the fall of 2014 about the potential for a fully funded spousal appointment for exercise psychology specialist Guy Faulkner, the husband of newly hired Associate Vice-President Equity and Inclusion, Sara-Jane Finlay. The school eagerly supported the proposal, enabling the appointment of Faulkner, who also had the distinction of holding a CIHR Chair in Applied Public Health. Following endorsement of the shared funding strategy with the Department of Athletics and Recreation, a joint search was conducted that resulted in the 2015 appointment of Emma McCrudden to a position evenly divided between the school as lecturer, sport and exercise nutrition, and the Department of Athletics as sport dietician. In addition to successfully filling these planned appointments, the school was able to take advantage of other strategically significant opportunities to further sharpen its focus in

In January 2014, Sparks was approached by the director of ICORD (International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries), Wolfram Tetzlaff, about the school serving as ‘home department’ for applicants for the Rick Hansen Institute/ Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research Scholar Award program. If successful, the applicants would receive five years of salary and an office and lab at ICORD, along with start-up funds to support their research. Ultimately, the school supported three applicants and two were successful, enabling the appointment of exercise physiology specialists Christopher West and John Kramer as assistant professors. In addition, the school was able to renew the CRC Chair

After completing her PhD in the school in 2015, Carolyn McEwen was appointed as a teaching faculty member who could anchor the area of statistics in support of both undergraduate and graduate students and teach courses in research methods, statistics, and sport and exercise psychology. She made immediate strides towards creating connections between course content and students’ personal experiences and future goals to develop understanding of the application of acquired knowledge. Her unique and dedicated approach to curriculum design effectively challenges students to develop information and research literacy skills, while exploring quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches to research in kinesiology.

Carpenter was appointed full time in the school, and a search was conducted to fill the vacant chair. In June 2014, the school nominated Eli Puterman for the position, pending the success of his CRC application in Ottawa. The application was subsequently approved in Ottawa, and Puterman was named assistant professor, Canada Research Chair Tier 2, Physical Activity and Health. The next appointment was that of school graduate alumna Andrea Bundon as assistant professor in socio-cultural studies in health, physical activity and sport. Finally, the school supported hiring a teaching faculty member at the Instructor level who could anchor the area of statistics and work with undergraduate and graduate students. After a rigorous search, the school was able to hire Carolyn McEwen. A PhD student in the school at the time, McEwen’s hiring date was set to January 1, 2016, making hers the final faculty appointment of Bob Sparks’ tenure as director.


Continuing the Journey On the evening of November 13, 2015 in the newly constructed Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre, a large crowd applauded enthusiastically as Martha Piper walked to a speaker’s podium. Back at UBC to serve as interim president during a search that culminated in the appointment of Professor Santa J. Ono as UBC’s 15th president, Piper thanked alumni and donors in attendance for their support of the largest university capital campaign ever completed in Canadian history. Launched in 2011 under the presidency of Stephen Toope, the start an evolution campaign exceeded its goal of $1.5 billion with a final total of $1.624 billion. The crowd listened appreciatively to Piper’s familiar voice, and those of faculty members and graduates who spoke in grateful terms about their campaign-supported endeavours, and then erupted even more eagerly when the campaign’s final tally was officially announced. The celebration on that evening symbolized invigoration on the part of the entire UBC community as the campaign’s success enabled a vast spectrum of unprecedented opportunity. Fittingly, the revelry took place on an evening that was almost exactly a century after UBC had welcomed its first students in 1915. Now among the world’s top-ranked research institutions with a combined total of some 50,000 students on two thriving campuses, the people of UBC had a great deal to celebrate during the auspicious 2015-16 academic year. Conspicuously absent, however, was Stephen Toope, who had been the chief architect of the campaign but had left UBC as the campaign wound down, ultimately to take up a new post as vice chancellor of the University of Cambridge. The news of his appointment to Cambridge after leaving UBC exclaimed a decidedly compelling footnote to the hundred-year story of the University’s altogether extraordinary evolution. Although not a direct beneficiary of the campaign’s success, there was little doubt that the School of Kinesiology, with its unique commitment to the biological, behavioural, and sociocultural study of physical activity, sport, and health, was well

positioned to make its own rich contributions to humankind. The school’s undergraduate degree programs were now among the most sought-after at UBC among entering students from across Canada and many points in the world, who viewed the BKin degree as an appropriate foundation for an increasingly wide range of professional programs, including medicine, and as an appealing alternative to the faculties of arts and of science as a platform for a modern liberal education. Equally importantly, its research capacity was growing by leaps and bounds, and some 7,000 graduates were now engaged in the broad fields of

In this regard, the school’s evolving expertise and collaborative approach to exploring new frontiers in health promotion, disease prevention and treatment were aligned with the university’s own vision statement that had remained unchanged since it had been introduced 18 years earlier – “to serve the people of British Columbia, Canada and the world.” In the final two years of his tenure as director, Bob Sparks made certain that no stone was left unturned to ensure that the school had done all it could in support of the spirit and objectives of Place and Promise, work that capped off a remarkably eclectic career. In addition to his work within the school, he had served for three terms on the University Senate and participated in various Senate committees and other groups in pursuit of enhancing the university’s learning and research environments as well as its service to alumni and the wider community.

Epilogue By Robert Boushel Director, UBC School of Kinesiology

June 1, 2018


IT HAS FREQUENTLY BEEN OBSERVED THAT HIGH-PERFORMANCE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE SEVERAL PRIMARY CHARACTERISTICS IN COMMON. THE FIRST IS A STRONG FOUNDATION, OFTEN BUILT UPON DECADES OF EVOLUTIONARY DEVELOPMENT. THE SECOND IS A TENACITY FOR TARGETED GROWTH GROUNDED IN SCHOLARSHIP AND INNOVATION. THE THIRD IS A CLEAR VISION FOR THE FUTURE, AND A DETAILED STRATEGY TO FULFILL THE VISION, AND A FOURTH IS A COLLECTIVE ENGAGEMENT TO BRING THAT VISION TO FRUITION.

In the spring of 2015, my vantage point upon the UBC School of Kinesiology was the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences in Stockholm, The Copenhagen Muscle Research Centre and the Copenhagen School where the field of Kinesiology began. But even when viewed from afar, it was apparent that the UBC School had an enviable foundation in the form of extraordinary faculty members, students, staff, undergraduate and graduate programs, and an exemplary record of community service. It also had some 7000 alumni, a great many of whom had become leaders and influencers in a wide range of endeavours. Upon closer examination, it was also clear that its vision to advance knowledge across the sub-disciplines of kinesiology was sharply focused, and the strategy it employed to fulfill that vision had clearly resulted in escalating levels of research achievement, a truly enriched multidisciplinary learning environment and direct translation of these entities through vibrant community programs.

In addition to serving as director of the school, Robert Boushel maintains an active research program. He is pictured here (right) working with Jose Calbet, an affiliate professor from Spain’s University of Las Palmas sampling from the femoral artery and vein to measure oxygen and metabolites during exercise in a female triathlete.

conclusion of World War Two had indeed earned its place among the world’s finest kinesiology programs, intent on making substantial contributions to learning and research for societal good on an ever-widening scholarly spectrum. It is therefore an extreme understatement to say that the opportunity that was subsequently afforded to me to lead such an organization on the next leg of its evolutionary journey was an appealing honour. Looking back on the school’s most recent and transformational years, it is only appropriate to express gratitude to our longest serving faculty members for their commitment to the school, to their chosen areas of expertise, and for helping to navigate through the changes that have taken place. I am similarly grateful for the encouragement and support of Dean Blye Frank, and for the work of all former directors and associate directors for the leadership roles they have played. In particular, I wish to thank my immediate predecessor, Bob Sparks, who initiated this book his wisdom. His dedication to the school and character as a leader comprise a model to which I aspire as director.

histories, varsity coaching roles and formative contributions to outreach programs that are today at the heart of our commitment to the community. I also wish to thank Don McKenzie, who recently retired as director and founding member of the Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Centre, and also to congratulate him for his vast research contributions to the field, which situated UBC as a world-leading entity in sports medicine. His leadership at the Olympic level as well as in exercise medicine are known worldwide. In addition, I join all members of the school in thanking and congratulating retiring faculty member, Ian Franks, for his wide-ranging achievements, citizenship and contributions over his long and extraordinary career in the science of human movement and as a national leader in coaching. Finally I wish to emphasize the contribution of countless sessional instructors, whose gift of time and expertise have been essential to the success of four generations of students. It must also be acknowledged that the school’s foundation has been strengthened by many dedicated non-academic staff members throughout its history, particularly in recent years during which there has been a marked increase in services for Fran Harrison, Deborah Gromer and Rob Langill for many years of outstanding service. Tremendous gratitude is also owed to those who have developed and maintained a comprehensive

While an undergraduate at UBC, he played on the varsity squad under coach Donn Spence, and subsequently for the provincial and national teams. He was inducted into the UBC Sports Hall of Fame in 1993, along with other members of the 1970-71 team, widely recognized as one the finest in UBC history. Among the longest-serving faculty members in the school’s history, he specializes in athletic training and high performance conditioning, and is an advisor on strength and conditioning to the BodyWorks Fitness Centre programs.

Dragon boat racing among breast cancer survivors has grown in popularity and participation in many parts of the world. Its origins are traced back to a research project led by Don McKenzie, who wanted to challenge a prevalent belief among physicians that patients and survivors should not engage in upper body exercise. In fact, his research showed exercise substantially reduces cancer recurrence. Pictured is the emotionally charged image of participants in boats that have been pulled together for a flower ceremony that happens at every regatta as a means to remember others who remain in treatment and those who have passed on.

witness the level of engagement across the school in the recent year-long process that created a new five-year strategic plan. With the leadership of Paul Kennedy, we have revitalized the undergraduate curriculum to blend classical foundations across disciplines with novel course development and experiential learning opportunities that respond to current and future horizons in the field. We are increasingly merging theoretical curricula (constructs) with research-based inquiry to foster a continuum of meaningful learning to ensure that students are equipped with the most innovative tools and translational skills that enable them to pursue an expanding array of career opportunities. The new curriculum includes new streams of disciplinary focus and we are excited about the launch of new curricular and research initiatives in Indigenous Studies in Kinesiology. At the graduate level, our students are already giving flight to countless ideas and aspirations, both through their own extraordinary talents and greater access to faculty mentors who are among the best in the world.

Sport Institute-Pacific that enrolls pan-Canadian national level coaches is setting trends in innovation for the next generation of Canadian leaders. Plans are underway for parallel graduate degrees in kinesiology to provide training for practitioner scholars in exercise medicine and athletic performance enhancement. The school has also revitalized the Centre for Sport and Sustainability led by Brian Wilson. The research output by faculty has soared in recent years with substantial growth in tri-council and foundation funding success, new faculty hires, outstanding doctoral students, a large expansion of post-doctoral fellows and collaborative relationships nationally and internationally. Mark Carpenter has played a key role in advancing the school’s research capacity by implementing strategic research initiatives and funding mechanisms. Our current researchers are bolstering networks in a manner that will surely result in further scholarship capacity, all the while creating new opportunities for graduate students. While our vision is enduring, the strategy we employ to fulfill it will require revisiting and refreshment in alignment with the Faculty of Education and university’s new strategic plans that map out a blueprint for the future.
