Biographical history
Walter Young received a B.A. from the University of British Columbia in 1955 and went to Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar and completed his M.A. in 1962. After returning to Canada, Young taught at Manitoba and Toronto before coming to UBC in 1962 as an instructor in political science. He received a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 1965, and remained at UBC until 1973, when he went to the University of Victoria as chairman of the Department of Political Science. He was very active in faculty and administrative affairs at UBC and founded both B.C. Studies and the B.C. Legislative Internship program. He was very interested in Canadian socialism and was a founding member of the NDP.
