head of many a scholastic
institution in Canada, and has
devoted his whole life to raising

and asked what most impressed
him about UNBC, and he replied
besides the beautiful location, he
thinks we have one of the finest
staffs in the province. Beyond that

student to instructor ratio, which
is a major problem in most locales,
and the amount of co-operation
