KnowBC: Hungarian Foresters Came to UBC

KnowBC: Hungarian Foresters Came to UBC: "One of the great stories in BC's history began almost fifty-three years ago—January 24, 1957 to be precise—when 214 Hungarian refugees (200 students and 14 faculty members) arrived at the Matsqui train station. They were from the Hungarian Forestry School in Sopron, Hungary. Two months earlier Sopron, and other Hungarian cities, had been invaded by Soviet troops."
