+% Sample University of Calgary Thesis
+% This file contains the FRONT MATTER other thna the title page
+
+\chapter{Abstract}
+
+The abstract is a concise and accurate summary of the research
+contained in your thesis. It gives the reader a snapshot of your
+research by highlighting key points. It includes the problem, method of
+study, and general conclusion; relevant key words that will help
+people find your research. It must be no longer than 350 words (Note:
+hyphenated words or words separated by a slash are counted as two
+words). It must be double-spaced or one-half spaced, and not contain
+graphs, tables, or illustrations.
+
+\chapter{Preface}
+
+The preface gives a statement of where the information included in
+your thesis came from. It gives credit to the authors who informed
+your work. A manuscript-based thesis must include an explanation of
+which parts of your thesis were already published and details of the
+publication. For example:
+\begin{quote}
+Portions of the introductory text of Chapter~1 are used with
+permission from Smith et al. (2015) of which I am an author. Table~1.1
+is modified from Supplementary Table~3 in Smith et
+al. (2014). Chapter~2 of this thesis has been published as J.~Smith
+and J.~Doe, ``Title of Article''. Journal Name, vol.~1, issue~1.
+\end{quote}
+For a traditional thesis requiring ethics approval, include the name
+of the board that approved the research project, the title of the
+project, and the number of the approval certificate. For example:
+\begin{quote}
+This thesis is original, unpublished, independent work by the author,
+J. Doe. The experiments reported in Chapters 2--4 were covered by
+Ethics Certificate number 007, issued by the University of Calgary
+Conjoint Health Ethics Board for the project ``Project Title'' on
+December 15, 2016.
+\end{quote}
+For a traditional thesis with no ethics approval required, simply
+state something along the lines of:
+\begin{quote}
+This thesis is original, unpublished, independent work by the author,
+Jane M. Doe.
+\end{quote}
+
+\chapter{Acknowledgments}
+
+The acknowledgments are a place for you to thank/recognize academics
+or organizations that supported you (remember you cannot make changes
+once your thesis is submitted, so be thoughtful!) You should include
+this when you want to acknowledge people who may or may not be
+formally recognized in your thesis elsewhere. People usually
+mentioned in the acknowledgments include your supervisor and
+committee, grant support, helpful fellow students, lab mates, or
+family members.
+
+Since we're using \LaTeX{} and the \verb|memoir| package, we should
+thank Don Knuth, Leslie Lamport, and Peter Wilson.\footnote{These are
+the authors of \citet{Knuth1986,Lamport1986,Wilson2016}.}

+% Consult Ch 9 of the memoir class manual on how to set up other
+% content lists. Note that memoir does not automatically clear the
+% page for these. ucalgmthesis fixes this for the default table of
+% contents and lists of tables and figures, but not for anything you
+% define
