Japanese Canadian Honorary Degree Ceremony, May 30th 2012

Top L to R: Fred Hume, Steve Tuckwood, Carrie Watts and Deb Huband from UBC Athletics with early 1940s Varsity athletes (left to right) Nori Nishio (rugby), X, and Takako Nikaido (basketball).

The Honorary Degree Ceremony for Japanese Canadian Students of 1942 is available on YouTube.

Mary, with help from her husband Tosh, was responsible for leading the campaign which called on UBC to grant honorary degrees to 76 Japanese Canadian students, whose studies were interrupted during World War II when they and their families were sent to internment camps.

Bowen Zhang’s winning piece “Heroes of Chinatown-Vancouver Chinese Students Soccer Team 1933” had assistance from Fred Hume and UBC Rare Books and Special Collections. A video of Zhang’s acceptance speech is available on The Jack Webster Awards website.

Chinese Canadian Stories is an online digital archive containing stories, photographs, videos, newspaper articles, video games, and resources for classroom use. People are welcome to contribute by having their photos, videos, and stories archived. The Chinese Students Soccer team’s story is featured on this website, and it includes photos from UBC RBSC’s Chung Collection.

The Japanese Canadian Student Tribute awarded 76 students honorary degrees. The Tribute also involves UBC Library collecting and archiving the stories of the students. The 1942 Japanese Canadian UBC Students Fund is open for donations, which goes toward supporting research in the UBC Asian Canadian and Asian Migration Studies program.
