The Upland School District was formed in February 1909 with the founding executive consisting of J.R. Stoney? - Chair, E. Hatfield - Secretary Treasurer, and Alfred J. Sanders - Trustee.

The trustees borrowed $1200 to build a 20' by 24' building. A site was chosen on the south-west corner of SW 22-21-26 (south of Chamberlain, west of Findlater and north of Buffalo Pound Lake). The date of completion is not known but an annual meeting of the Trustees was held in the schoolhouse on January 15, 1910. The first teacher is not known but Lettie Drope is listed as the teacher as of April 3, 1911.

The school was closed in 1953 and children attended Chamberlain School.

The University Women’s Club of Moose Jaw was formed in 1921. The first meetings were organized by Miss Ethel Kirk Grayson and Mrs. Jane Graham with 14 members attending.
They were affiliated with the Canadian Federation of University Women which was itself linked to the International Federation of University Women.
The stated objectives were “to stimulate intellectual activity among university women” and “to work for the practical advancement of art, science, literature and civic and social reform.”
The group met initially at the public library and later at the YMCA. These meetings generally dealt with business at hand and no refreshments were served. Social events were often held in members homes.
The group sponsored several awards and scholarships including the Jennie E. Graham and Flora E. Warner scholarships.
They also sponsored speakers on a wide variety of topics.
An early childhood study group resulted in a nursery school pilot project during May and June 1973. This became St. George’s Nursery School in 1974. The program did not have any religious affiliation. It was so named because it was housed in rented space in the basement of St. George’s Church. The nursery school was operated by a standing committee of the club until 1982.
A unanimous motion was passed on June 21, 1982 to take steps to dissolve the club. Assets were disposed of over that summer and the club disbanded in September.

The University Women’s Club was founded in Saskatchewan in 1918, and the Swift Current branch in 1930 with ten charter members. The Club participated in the work of the Canadian Federation of University Women to encourage educational values by educating themselves, participating in the education of others and to stimulate members to become involved in pubic affairs. The Club also awarded the Dorothy Goddard scholarship annually. The club disbanded ca. 2006 and the majority of the records were transferred to the Saskatchewan Archives Board.

Khaki University (initially Khaki College or University of Vimy Ridge) was a Canadian overseas educational institution set up and managed by the general staff of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) in Britain from 1917-1919 during the First World War. The system, named for the khaki-coloured uniforms of the CEF, was set up by the efforts of Dr. Edmund Henry Oliver, Professor of History and Economics, University of Saskatchewan, and others and was supported by the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA). The University, with makeshift colleges mainly in central England, was intended to be “a school of efficiency and citizenship, a sort of combination of an Agricultural High School and a Technical School.” Courses were offered in Agriculture, Business Efficiency, Elementary Practical Science, and Citizenship. Classes were scheduled so that battalions could attend during their rest periods. Certificates given were accepted by Canadian universities. An important part of the University’s services was a network of thirty libraries that served more than 50,000 soldiers. Operations were suspended in April 1918 because of the massive German offensive. The war was over by November and Oliver returned to Canada. The term was used again for Canadian educational programs for veterans from 1945-1946 after the Second World War.

In the spring of 1910, when the sod was turned on the site of the present College Building, there was on the prairie but one clump of half a dozen poplars. The university of today, large, complex, handsome, is the result of human imagination – and money and work and the will to make it happen. To remember the prairie before the building began is a good way to recognize the importance of human agency in remaking our world. This essay is a brief account of the decisions that led to the building of the university of today.

Since 1969, the Department of Veterinary Physiological Sciences has provided undergraduate and graduate training in the function of the physiological systems of mammals, carried out basic and applied research, and provided analytical and diagnostic assistance to its clients through its three service labs. The following have served as head of the department: R.H. Dunlop (1967-1971); W.E. Roe (1971-1977); J.G. Manns (1977-1982); D.L. Hamilton (1982-1985); C.S. Sisodia (1985-1991); D.L. Hamilton (1991- ).

Instruction in veterinary science commenced in the College of Agriculture as early as 1913 and an animal diseases laboratory was established in 1924. Discussions among officials of the prairie governments in 1944 and 1956 led to negotiations for a school to serve the western provinces. The University of Saskatchewan was selected as the site for a college in 1963. Teaching began in 1965. The following individuals have served as Dean: D.L.T. Smith (1963-1974); N.O. Nielsen (1975-1982); G.F. Hamilton (1983-1992); A. Livingston (1992-2002), Charles Rhodes (2002-2003 Acting, 2003-2010; Douglas Freeman (2010- ).
