Administrative history
Management of the University of British Columbia's financial affairs was initially the responsibility of the Bursar Office. The first to hold the position of Bursar was F. Dallas (1916-34), followed by Angus MacLucas (1935-48). In the 1950s, Dean of Commerce Earle D. MacPhee held the title of "Honorary Bursar." UBC had grown to the extent financial affairs required a full-time staff of ten people to manage accounting, buildings and grounds, food services, purchasing, and the book store. The Office of the Bursar continued to grow as its responsibilities evolved. Walter White was the last to hold the title of Bursar until his retirement in 1984. That year, A.B. Gellatly was named the first Vice-President of Finance. Since the 1980s, the responsible vice-presidential positions have been Finance, Finance and Administration, or Financial Services. At various times, they have had ultimate responsibility for such services as supply management, campus security, the UBC Bookstore, the Development Office, food services, land and building services, human resources, budgeting, treasury, and other business and financial operations.
