History
The Fairview Committee was established under the auspices of the Alumni Association in the mid-1970s. Composed of UBC graduates from 1915 to 1928, the Committee undertook projects designed to commemorate the university's history, particularly relating to the Fairview era. Working on the recommendations of the Committee, the Board of Management of the Alumni Association passed the following motion at its January 1983 meeting: "That the work of the Fairview Committee be incorporated into a new heritage committee for UBC and that this committee be given every support by the Alumni Association to look after the recording and preservation of the University's heritage." Blythe Eagles, who served as chairman of the old Fairview Committee, assumed the chairmanship of the expanded Heritage Committee. The Heritage Committee included the following three original sub-committees: 1) Fairview - Dr. Harry Warren (Chairman) 2) 1928 - 1945 - A.H. Rome (Chairman) 3) 1945 - present John Banfield (Chairman) Later, a 1963 - 1986 sub-committee was added.
