Head and shoulders image of Dr. Adam M. Neville, Engineering, 1963-1965.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Adam Matthew Neville (1923-2016) arrived in Saskatoon in 1963 to join the faculty of Engineering. That same year Dr. Neville authored the ‘Concrete Bible’, Properties of Concrete. It provided the industry with the definitive work reference on concrete. Though updated, the original objective of the work remained completely intact: to provide reliable, comprehensive, and practical information on the properties and use of concrete, and the selection of mix proportions, all based on scientific observations and Dr. Neville’s extensive experience in engineering. He was the first dean of Engineering at the University of Calgary in 1965. Adam Neville died in 2016 in London, England, at age 93.
