The establishment of a new surveying engineering program at The University of Calgary represents a major milestone in the history of the surveying profession in Canada. It is the first university surveying engineering center west of Ontario, and the establishment of the program required two decades of dedicated work by the profession in western Canada. This program includes an undergraduate component, graduate studies, research activities and continuing education. The Division of Surveying Engineering started in September, 1979, with two full-time professors, five sessional lecturers and 22 undergraduate students. Three additional full-time professors are joining the Division for the second semester, and about 10 graduate students have already applied for graduate programs. When fully operational, circa 1981, the Division of Surveying Engineering will have about 12 teaching members and will occupy 900 m2 of newly renovated floor space in The University of Calgary engineering complex.

Of all the Atlantic revolutions, the fifteen-year struggle that transformed French Saint-Domingue into independent Haiti produced the greatest degree of social and economic change, and most fully embodied the contemporary pursuit of freedom, equality, and independence. Between 1789 and 1804, the Haitian Revolution unfolded as a succession of major precedents: the winning of colonial representation in a metropolitan assembly, the ending of racial discrimination, the first abolition of slavery in an important slave society, and the creation of Latin America's first independent state. Beginning as a home-rule movement among wealthy white colonists, it rapidly drew in militant free people of colour who demanded political rights and then set off the largest slave uprising in the history of the Americas. Sandwiched between the colonial revolutions of North and South America, and complexly intertwined with the coterminous revolution in France, Haiti's revolution has rarely been grouped with these major conflicts despite its claims to global significance.
