Supplement. Sept. 4. 1968

Salute to 'founding fathers'
Peter Jones, senior partner in the consulting
engineering firm of Read, Jones, Christoffersen
Ltd., has been a trustee on the North Vancouver
school board for 11 years. He saw youngsters
passing out of secondary school with nowhere to
go. Later, when the new curriculum was
implemented with its many streams, they still
had no place to go.
This was one of the reasons he felt a college
on the North Shore was needed. He put the
question to the school board. They agreed. West
Vancouver school board was approached and a ·
liaison committee formed. Jones chaired all
the committees. The rest is history.
Peter Jones' interest and participation in
He was

appointed by the Minister of Education to co­
ordinate the curricula of Lower Mainland
colleges and is chairman of the provincial ·
committee. He is the first president of the
Provincial Association of Community Colleges.
Leslie Brooks is that rare person who is
completely at home in a school or college oi
university. Education is his first love, and there ·
is no other world for him.
He was a 'swinger' in education· before the
word was coined, and is a swinger today after
more than 30 years in the business.
Because how else could you explain the motto
he pinned up on the wall of the austere North
Vancouver school board meeting room which
housed the college committee for those long
years? In the swirling graphics of the day it
read "Keep The Faith, Baby!"
Brooks has been so close to the college project
it is almost a part of him.
He served as secretary to the interim
committee for four years. He was a key
speaker during the plebiscite campaign. He
was named Dean of Instruction in the first staff
appointment the college council made.
Next week Peter Jones and Leslie Brooks can
see a four-year dream come true. Students will

_ A great many people have done an enormous
amount of work to bring Capilano College to the
door-opening stage.
They served on school boards, college
committees and co-ordinating committees, and.
some, finally, on the college council. .
They travelled many miles each week to
North Vancouver school board offices over the
four long, lonely years before the government
agreed a college was needed here.
Who were these people? They were school
superintendents of the four districts interested
in establishing a college, and school trustees
from the same districts.
We feel these are the 'founding fathers' of the
college and should be singled out in this
historical supplement.
Let us look at these people whose concern is
better education for our young people.

Leslie Brooks, Director of Adult Education on

committees, and Peter Wilson, secretary­

reality.
Peter Jones and Leslie Brooks were the
catalysts of Capilano College.

800 MARK
When projected enrolment
and costs were drawn up by
Dean of Instruction Leslie
Brooks shortly after the
plebiscite had passed on March
7, a modest figure of 350 was
estimated as the,student body.
Pre-admission counselling;
scheduled for August 1 to 14,
upset these figures and set a
mark beyond the wildest dreams
of college council and faculty.
When totals were added on the
last day, there were 622 student
admission forms in the files.
Indeed, counselling had to be
extended for four extra days to
handle the flood of students. Now
figures are expected to reach or
even top 800 by final registration
day, Sept. 4.
"This is a most rewarding
figure," principal Alfred H.
Glenesk said. "We realize we
are pioneering here by starting a
college in a secondary school, .
and we are surprised and·
extremely pleased by · the
response.
''The local press in the three
communities, Howe Sound,
North and West Vancouver,
must take a great deal of credit
for this response. They gave us
tremendous coverage and our
success depends on a well­
informed public," he said.
"I came here in July, and

COLLEGE OPENING A
MILESTONE - BROTHERS

Scads of

Message from the Hon. D.L. Brothers, Minister of
Education, on the opening of Capilano College.

The opening of Capilano College is an occasion which
marks another milestone in the development of higher
education in the province.
Forming a network with Vancouver- City College, Selkirk
College in Castlegar and Okanagan College in Kelowna, all of
which are in operation this year, and anticipating the opening
of New Caledonia College in Prince George and Malaspina
College in Nanaimo, British Columbia is moving into an era of
higher education facilities that will offer excellent post­
secondary opportunities to all students.Capilano College, like its sister Colleges, will offer
programmes oriented to students who wish either academic
programmes or technological fields of study. It has been, and
remains, our concern that services of a high order at the post­
secondary level be provided to meet the needs of a broad range
of student interests.

On behalf of the Government of the Province I wish to
congratulate the taxpayers in the School Districts of West

the plebiscite which made Capilano College possible.
Also much credit is due to the Regional College Council for
proceeding in a modest way, making use of existing facilities
to get a programme underway.
I wish the College Council. principal and staff the greatest
success. I, personally, and the Department are behind them all

CAPILANO RIVER: Its history colours the past
By JAMES W. MORTON
Dr. Morton, 2330 Queens Ave.,
West Vancouver, has completed
a book on the Capilano River and
its historical significance in
British Columbia.
His interest in the area began
when be fished the pools in
Capilano ·canyon, and after two
years research and writing, the
manuscript was completed.
He describes the people who
lived on its banks; the explorers
who passed its mouth; the
timber that brought the first
pioneers to the North Shore;
fishing the deep pools; the fight
for chlorination of its water; the
second dam.
Because the new community
college on the North Shore bears
this famour name, we asked Dr.
Morton if he would write an
article on the history of the river
and the origin of the name.
Here are some short excerpts
from his book:

THE SOURCE
Capilano River rises south of
Phyllis Lake, some six miles
north of the Lions. Fed by
melting snow, it trickles
downward to ripple gently
through its valley before
tumbling into the canyon and out
again to the terraced flats of
Burrard Inlet.
It is a small river, some 22
miles in length, draining a bowl
of 68 square miles rimmed by
high mountains. A small river,
but one which has affected many
lives in the brief history of the
inlet.

In June, 1792, Captain George
Vancouver in his yawl and Mr.
Puget in the ship's launch, sailed
past the river into the Narrows.
After a brief welcome by some
50 Indians, they continued up the
south arm of · the glacial fjord
they named Burrard's Channel.
They were the first Europeans
to sail past the Capilano, perhaps
the first to see it, though some
say the Spaniard, Narvaez, was

EVERY N.S. POLL-VOTED

Not a single poll went down to defeat on the
North Shore vote to approve the establishment of a
community college.
Some polls were marginal, but the majority
were well over the necessary 50 percent, with many
soaring into the 80 percent class.
Best vote went to North Vancouver, where
North Vancouver District delivered up a whomping
71.79 percent majority. North Vancouver City whith
60.96 percent dragged down t�e average to 68.72

In West Vancouver, the west end of the

Cauleild, Gleneagles and Eagle Harbour with
averages from 75 to 80 percent.
