Tose Uchida
1895-1989
Chitose (Tose) Uchida
died on November 27,
1989 at the age of 94. She
was the last known sur­
viving member of UBC's
first graduating class.
Tose's niece, Jan Uchi­
da BA'57, MSc'60, says
her aunt was not very ac­
tive socially, partly due to
the fact that she had to take
in sewing to put herself
and her brother through
school.
Tose became a teacher
and taught in a one-room
schoolhouse in Alberta
until 1939, and then re­
turned to Vancouver.
She taught English to
Japanese immigrants in
Vancouver, but was sent
to Cariboo in 1941 during
the internment of Japanese-Canadians. There,
ever the teacher, she
taught in a one-room
schoolhouse.
She stayed in the Cari­
boo after the war, and
taught grades 1 • 4 in
Williams Lake. She taught
one year in Surrey after
moving back to Vancouver
in 1960.
She spent the rest of
her life with her family,
caring for her mother and
forming a close relation­
ship with niece Jane's
children, Melanie and Brad.
According to the 1916
yearbook, Tose's aim in
life was “to do nice things
unnoticed,” and she
wanted to finish her life as
“a sweet old lady.” Her
wishes were amply fulfilled.
Besides Jane and her
children, Tose is survived
by her brother Matasaburo
and his wife.

he entered as a freshman in Wooster
College in southern Ohio. Until then,
growing up in Honolulu, he felt part
of the “majority” and didn't think of
himself as an AJA either (American

of the older Nisei were using after
the bombing of Pearl Harbor to em­

For a light moment of strictly local
color, Okihiro said Dr. Takaki became
a “foremost” scholar and "we who
played with him never expected him

He also explained another difference. The “union mentality” of the
Japanese in Hawaii — and hot found
on the Mainland — was because 75
