Head and shoulders image of Dr. Alexander Robertson, professor and head, Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, College of Medicine.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Alexander Robertson made headlines in June 1960 when he made statements in favor of the Saskatchewan government's plan to introduce compulsory prepaid medical care insurance. The Saskatchewan College of Physicians and Surgeons, of which he was a member, was opposed to the government's move into the medical field. Dr. Robertson was chairman of the salaried physicians' section of the college when the section's executive was forced to resign after a vote of non-confidence. Dr. Robertson resigned from his post in February 1962 to become executive director of the Milbank Memorial Fund in New York City.
