Whitebone, to determine its feasibility. In 1951, UNB began offering extension courses at the Saint John High School and St. Vincent’s Convent. By the dawn of the 1960s, members of the committee began to advocate strongly for the establishment o<span style="line-height: 1.6;">f an independent college in Saint John. It was at this time that the Board of Trade’s exploratory committee evolved into the College Development Corporation. During a meeting held in 1960 between UNB officials and the College Development Corporation to discuss providing financial aid, UNB Presiden</span>t Colin B. Mackay stated his concern about the costs of establishing a college in Saint John and suggested that the time was not yet ripe to attempt such a feat. UNB had seen a rapid increase in enrollment since the end of World War II and the expenses for accommodating the growing student population were of pressing importance to university officials. After the meeting, attendee C.W. Argue – a UNB Biology professor – sent a letter to Mackay in which he suggested offering the first two years of UNB’s Arts and Science courses in Saint John – called a junior college – as a solution to the financial concern.

The bill was approved in 1964, and on January 18, 1965, Mayor Weyman of Saint John transferred the deed for 87 acres of Tucker Park from the city to Dr. Mackay. The land was to be used to build a new campus. The sod turning for the $5.5 million complex in Tucker Park was officiated in May 1966 by Madame Vanier and Rt. Hon. Georges P. Vanier and the cornerstone laying for the campus’s first building, the Ward Chipman Library, took place in 1968. Before the campus was opened, the Old Provincial Building, the local Y.M.C.A., various high schools, and the Presbyterian Church Hall were used to hold labs, classrooms, and offices, and the second floor of the Western Tire and Auto Supply Associates store housed the university library. The campus opened officially on May 13, 1969, and consisted of the Ward Chipman Library, Sir Douglas Hazen Hall, and William Ganong Hall.
