Administrative history

The University awarded its first post-graduate degree--a Master of Arts--to Father A.G. Morrice, o.m.i. for previous work in Canadian history. Archibald Weir received the first MA for work completed at the U of S. Over time, other Master's degrees were awarded in Science in Agriculture (1920), Science in Engineering (1927), and Education (1932). In 1922 a Committee on Master's degrees was established to coordinate post-graduate work on the campus. This Committee became the Council Committee on Graduate Studies in 1926; a Graduate School was formed under the aegis of the Graduate School Committee by 1932. The School became the College of Graduate Studies in 1946 and two years later was authorized to grant PhDs in select departments. The establishment of a graduate programme at Regina resulted in the formation of a Graduate Studies Faculty (or School) there, a College of Graduate Studies at Saskatoon, and a University College of Graduate Studies to coordinate post-graduate work on both campuses. The latter unit closed in 1974 with the division into two separate universities. The following individuals have served as Dean: [G.H. Ling] (1922-1928); G.H. Ling (1928-1938); J.S. Thomson (1938-1939); T. Thorvaldson (1939-1949); J.W.T. Spinks (1949-1959); B.W. Currie (1959-1970); K.J. McCallum (1970-1984); H.E. Tennant (1984-1987); J.G. Manns (1987-1991); Louise Forsyth (1992- ). Director: A.B. Van Cleave (1959-1974).
