Time Piece 1919

The return of students from war-time duty increased enrolment at UBC to 890 in 1919-1920. These veterans were studying engineering at UBC temporary headquarters at the former McGill University of BC facilities (nicknamed the "Fairview shacks" after the surrounding neighbourhood) adjacent to Vancouver General Hospital.
