Entrance to Thorvaldson Building located on the Main campus of the University of Saskatchewan

The University was created on April 3, 1907 by a provincial statute known as the University Act. It provided for a publicly funded, yet independent institution to be created for the citizens of the whole province. Duncan McColl became the first university official when he was appointed registrar. Chief Justice Edward L. Wetmore was elected the first university Chancellor. Following the formation of the senate and board of governors, Walter Charles Murray was selected as President of the University. The scope of the new institution was to include colleges of Arts and Science including art, music and commerce, Agriculture with forestry, Domestic Science, Education, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Pharmacy, Veterinary Science and Dentistry.

Campus

A location next to the South Saskatchewan River, across from the city centre of Saskatoon, was selected for the campus. Prime Minister of Canada Sir Wilfrid Laurier laid the cornerstone of the first building, the College Building, on July 29, 1910. Brown and Vallance were the initial architects constructing the first university buildings in Collegiate Gothic style. The original buildings were built using native limestone - greystone - which was mined just north of campus. Over the years, the greystone was to become one of the most recognizable campus signatures. When the local supply of limestone was exhausted, the University turned to Tyndall Stone, so called because it is quarried at Tyndall, Manitoba. The first building to be started on the new campus, the College Building, opened in 1913; in 2001, it was declared a National Historic Site of Canada. Saskatchewan's Provincial University and Agricultural College were officially opened May 1, 1913 by Hon.

The original architectural plan called for the university buildings to be constructed around a green space known as the bowl. Currently, the original university buildings are being connected by skywalks and tunnels. Clockwise, from the north; Thorvaldson Building (August 22, 1924} (Spinks addition); Geology, W.P.

First students

The University Act provided that the University should provide "facilities for higher education in all its branches and enabling all persons without regard to race, creed or religion to take the fullest advantage". It further stated that "no woman shall by reason of her sex be deprived of any advantage or privilege accorded to the male students of the university." Seventy students began the first classes on September 28, 1909. The first class graduated on May 1, 1912. Of the three students who earned graduation honours, two were women.


342 students, faculty, and staff enlisted for World War I. Of these, 67 were killed, 100 were wounded, and 33 were awarded medals of valour. “The Great War ” redirects here. ...

Later development

In the late 1990s, the U of S launched a major revitalization program that has and will include new capital projects such as an expansion to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, the building of a new parkade, and a revision of its internal road layout (which has already seen the East Road access being realigned). The Thorvaldson Building, which currently is home to the Departments of Chemistry and Computer Science, as well as the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition has also seen a number of renovations, including a brand new addition, the Spinks Addition.[1] Faculty of Medicine - University of Saskatchewan was established in 1926 as Western College of Veterinary Medicine and located at the University of Saskatchewan at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. ...


Land holdings

Up until the late 1980s, the University of Saskatchewan held an extensive area of land in the northeast quadrant of Saskatoon, stretching far beyond the core campus, east of Preston Avenue and north of the Sutherland and Forest Grove subdivisions. Much of this land was used for farming, though some areas were intended for future campus and facility development. In the late 1980s, most U of S land beyond Circle Drive was earmarked for residential development; the community of Silverspring was the first of these neighbourhoods to be developed. Another section of land, west of the Preston Avenue/Circle Drive interchange and north of the CPR line, was zoned for commercial use, and led to "big box" retail development in the early 2000s (including Wal-Mart and the Preston Crossing shopping centre). Realignment of two major roads in the area around this same time — Preston Avenue and 108th Street — also used up a portion of university land. The U of S now maintains a large tract of land immediately east of the Saskatoon city limits that it obtained after the city took over the northeastern section of U of S land. The U of S also maintains two sites north of Attridge Drive, the Regional Psychiatric Centre on Central Avenue, and an as-yet undeveloped parcel of land at Central Avenue and Fedoruk Drive. An eastbound CPR freight at Stoney Creek Bridge in Rogers Pass. ... Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. ...


In the 1970s and again in the 1980s, the U of S considered opening up some of its land holdings south of College Drive and north of 14th Street for residential development, but opposition from nearby neighbourhoods that appreciated the "green belt" offered by the university led to these plans being dropped.


Distinguished research

Over the years, some of the most prominent projects at the University have been associated with the Department of Physics. In 1948, the University built the first betatron facility in Canada. Three years later, the world's first non-commercial cobalt-60 therapy unit was constructed. (The first female Chancellor of the University, Sylvia Fedoruk, was a member of the Cobalt-60 research team. She also served as Saskatchewan's Lieutenant-Governor from 1988-1994.) The success of these facilities led to the construction of a linear accelerator as part of the Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory in 1964 and placed university scientists at the forefront of nuclear physics in Canada. Experience gained from years of research and collaboration with global researchers led to the University of Saskatchewan being selected as the site of Canada's national facility for synchrotron light research, the Canadian Light Source. This facility opened Oct. 22, 2004 and is the size of a football field. The Plasma Physics Laboratory operates a tokamak on campus.

The University of Saskatchewan has an enduring relationship with Canada's royal and vice regal personalities. Lieutenant-Governor Archibald McNab, for example, is largely credited with bringing the university to Saskatoon. Its campuses have been venues for royal and vice-regal visits, including the visit of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh in 2005. A handful of University alumni were invited to a reception for Canadians at Buckingham Palace before that visit to Saskatoon.[28] The main campus is home to Saskatoon's only royally-designated institution, the Royal University Hospital. The Diefenbaker Canada Centre, also on campus, produced an exhibit and educational programme entitled Happy and Glorious: The Royal Presence in Canada opened by Lieutenant Governor Lynda Haverstock in 2004.

Saskatchewan's Lieutenant-Governors have filled the office of Visitor to the University of Saskatchewan since 1907.[29] Former Lieutenant-Governor Sir Richard Lake was famously called upon to assume the Visitor's role in the so-called Crisis of 1919. Four senior members of the Board of Governors had been dismissed after three among them abstained from a vote of confidence in University President Walter Murray. Murray was under scrutiny for his maintenance of University finances. The public and press clamoured for an explanation, and, in accordance with provincial law, Lake held a series of hearings through the office of the King’s Bench. His findings, delivered in April 1920, vindicated the dismissals, saying they were “regular, proper and in the best interest of the university.” In other words, their acts of disloyalty were enough to cost them their jobs.[30] This is a list of the lieutenant-governors of Saskatchewan, Canada, since its establishment in 1905. ...

University of Saskatchewan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1642 words)
The University was created on April 3, 1907 by a provincial statute known as the University Act.
Up until the late 1980s, the University of Saskatchewan held an extensive area of land in the northeast quadrant of Saskatoon, stretching far beyond the core campus, east of Preston Avenue and north of the Sutherland and Forest Grove subdivisions.
She also served as Saskatchewan's Lieutenant-Governor from 1988-1994.) The success of these facilities led to the construction of a linear accelerator in 1964 and placed university scientists at the forefront of nuclear physics in Canada.
University of Saskatchewan Students' Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (406 words)
The University of Saskatchewan Students' Union represents students at the University of Saskatchewan which is in Saskatoon.
This change meant all university students in the province were Federation members - undergrads and grads at the University of Saskatchewan, as well as students at the University of Regina and First Nations University of Canada.
From October 4-6, 2005, a referendum was held for members of the USSU (undergraduate students at the University of Saskatchewan) to end their relationship with CFS, or become full fee-paying members of the Canadian Federation of students.
