Margaret Campbell graduated from the UBC School of Nursing in 1948. She received her M.Sc. from Western Reserve University in 1966 and her Phd from Columbia University in 1970, the first UBC graduate on the faculty to receive a doctorate.

This model was first introduced in 1973, and was subsequently adopted by the Psychiatric Unit of the UBC Health Sciences Centre Hospital and the G.F. Strong Rehabilitation Centre.

Dr. Campbell served on many education committees and was a long time member of the CNA Testing Services Committee, which prepared registration examinations throughout the 1970s. From 1978 to 1986 she was coordinator of the MSN program and graduate advisor.

The Western Universities Battalion was formed in 1916. Its membership was drawn primarily from students and alumni of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. The organizers felt that a distinctive western unit composed exclusively of men of similar backgrounds would be desirable. To this end, they sought to attract "those earnest, studious men of practised intellect and proved ability, who are most fit to play their parts as leaders of men in the most difficult and complex science of modern warfare." The recruiting and organization of "D" Company (British Columbia) were entrusted to Major R.W. Brock. The unit was housed on the University of British Columbia campus, with drilling, marching and arms training on the King Edward High School grounds. "D" Company joined the rest of the W.U.B. at Camp Hughes in Manitoba in the fall of 1916, and members of the Battalion saw their first action in Europe in 1917.

This was an officer training programme based on one already established in the United Kingdom.
