Nancy Foster Adams, honourary Doctor of Laws degree recipient, speaking from podium during Convocation ceremony held in Physical Education gymnasium.

Bio/Historical Note: Nancy Foster Adams, leader of rural women's organizations at the local, provincial, national and international levels, was born in Yorkshire, England on 3 May 1908. While a young child she moved with her family to Canada, settling first in Calgary. In 1920 when she was 12 the Fosters moved to Saskatchewan and she completed her secondary education at Loreburn. She took teacher's training at Regina Normal School and then went on to the University of Saskatchewan where she graduated in 1931 with a BA. She taught school until 1935 when she married J. Wilburn Adams and moved to his farm near Ethelton. In 1938 she helped organize a Homemakers' Club at Ethelton and she progressed from there to become president of the Association of Homemakers' Club of Saskatchewan (1948-1951); president of the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada (1953-1557), and area vice-president for Canada of the Associated Country Women of the World (1957-1962). She was the only woman commissioner on the Saskatchewan Royal Commission on Agriculture and Rural Life that, beginning in 1952, drew up a master plan for rural development in the province. Interested in rural adult education, she served many years on the Saskatchewan Library Advisory Council. Adams was chairman of citizenship and international relations on the National Council of Women. She was a member of the Canadian Council of 4-H Clubs. She was the first woman to serve on the Board of Governors of the University of Saskatchewan and as a member of the advisory council to the Federal Department of Citizenship and Immigration. Locally she served as school unit trustee and in her church was choir leader and Christian education teacher. Adams received an honorary doctor of laws degree from the University of Saskatchewan in 1956 and in 1975 was awarded the Order of Canada. Adams died on 17 March 1998.
