Administrative history

In 1914, L.S. Klinck, Professor of Cereal Husbandry at Macdonald College, McGill University, was appointed as the University of British Columbia's first Dean of Agriculture. During UBC's first two sessions, there was no teaching undertaken in the Faculty, although a general course in agriculture was given by Klinck, which was open to third and fourth-year Arts students. The first students in Agriculture were enrolled in 1917/18. In 1917, the Faculty consisted of Agronomy, Animal Husbandry, Horticulture and Poultry Husbandry. Later, the departments of Dairying (1919), Agricultural Economics (1940), and Agricultural Mechanics (1947) were added. In 1955 the Faculty was reorganized into Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Mechanics, Animal Science, Plant Science, Poultry Science and Soil Science. In 1969, the Faculty's name was changed from the Faculty of Agriculture to the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, and later, Food Science was added. In 1986, Animal Science and Poultry Science departments amalgamated to form a new Dept. of Animal Science. In 2005 the Faculty's name was changed again to Faculty of Land and Food Systems.
