In 1877, just six years after British Columbia joined Canada, Superintendent of Education John Jessop showed a recommendation for the change of a normal school. The conventional overseeing body passed An Act Respecting the University of British Columbia in 1890, however differentiates created about whether to produce the school on Vancouver Island or the scene.

The British Columbia University Act of 1908 formally called a run of the mill school into being, paying little heed to the way that its locale was not specified.[22] The association was appeared on the common University of Toronto Act of 1906 which made a bicameral blueprint of school government including a senate (staff), responsible for scholarly technique, and a fundamental social occasion of governors (nationals) practicing select control over money related approach and having formal power in all unmistakable matters. The president, named by the board, was to give a relationship between the two bodies and to perform institutional leadership.[22] The Act constituted a twenty-one area senate with Francis Carter-Cotton of Vancouver as Chancellor.[23]

Prior to the University Act, there had been a couple tries at making a degree-surrendering school with assistance from the Universities of Toronto and McGill. Columbian College in New Westminster, through its relationship with Victoria College of the University of Toronto, started to offer school level credit when the new century moved over, yet McGill came to arrange impelled direction in the mid 1900s.

Building up an intense association together amongst Vancouver and Victoria discretionary schools with McGill University, Henry Marshall Tory[24] built up the McGill University College of British Columbia.

The Henry Marshall Tory Medal was produced in 1941 by Tory, setting up President of the University of Alberta and of the National Research Council of Canada, and a related supporter of Carleton University.

In the meantime, offers were made to the committee to restore the prior foundation for a commonplace affiliation, impelling the University Endowment Act in 1907, and the University Act in 1908. In 1910 the Point Gray site was picked, and the association named Dr. Straight to the point Fairchild Wesbrook as President in 1913, and Leonard Klinck as Dean of Agriculture in 1914. A declining economy and the scene of war in August 1914 obliged the University to put off courses of action for working at Point Gray, and rather the past McGill University College site at Fairview found the opportunity to be home to the University until 1925. On the standard day of areas was September 30, 1915, the new free school held McGill University College. The University of British Columbia compensated its first degrees in 1916,[22] and Klinck changed into the second President in 1919, serving until 1940.

Move to Point Grey[edit]

World War I drove grounds life, and the understudy body was "devastated" by selections for component association, with three hundred UBC understudies in Company "D" alone. By the war's end, 697 individuals from the University had chosen. 109 understudies graduated in the three war-time social events, everything beside one in the Faculty of Arts and Science.

In the early part of the twentieth century, fit bearing connected past the standard fields of levelheadedness, law and game plan. Notwithstanding the way that UBC did not offer degrees in these fields, it started to offer degrees in new ace reaches, for example, laying out, agribusiness, nursing and school preparing. It additionally showed graduate arranging considering the German-propelled American model of particular course work and the finishing of an examination recommendation, with understudies finishing M.A. degrees in trademark sciences, humanistic frameworks and humanities.[22]
