Jack Davis (Canadian politician)
John (Jack) Davis, PC (July 31, 1916 – March 27, 1991) was a Canadian politician from British Columbia who was elected both federally and provincially.
==Early life and education==
Born in Kamloops General Hospital, in Kamloops, British Columbia, Davis grew up in Tranquille Valley on a homestead where he attended school in a one room log cabin. The Davis family moved into Kamloops so that Davis could attend Grade 8 at Kamloops High School; he was elected student council president, as was his sister Ethel Davis Moore. Jack won provincial scholarships in junior and senior matriculation, the latter with the highest marks in B.C. Jack attended the University of British Columbia, where he was president of the Engineers and the Men's Undergraduate Society, and a member of U.B.C. Thunderbird Basketball team, which won the Canadian Men's Senior Championship. He graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Science (chemical engineering) and was chosen a Rhodes Scholar from British Columbia in 1939.
His attendance at St John's College, Oxford University, was interrupted by the Second World War. Davis was the only engineer on a Canadian research team at a McGill University developing a new process for manufacturing RDX. Writing up the RDX process gave Jack his PhD in Science in 1942.
