"Town and Gown: The Early History of The Vancouver Institute" is about
the establishment and first twenty-three years of that adult education
institution. It explores the social roots that help explain the creation of The
Vancouver Institute in 1916, and follows its administrative development
until 1939. The thesis argues that the initial promoters held mutually
compatible interests that encouraged the growth of the institution, but later
promoters were forced to decide not only on the Institute's physical
location, but its symbolic association as well. The final decision was, to
some extent, a political victory for those who held a particular view of The
Vancouver Institute's proper social location. / Education, Faculty of / Graduate
