In 1914 he was appointed professor of law at Laval University. In 1941 he was asked by Prime Minister W.L. Mackenzie King to enter public life. As a member of the Liberal Party, St. Laurent was elected to the Canadian House of Commons from Quebec East in 1942 and was re-elected in all subsequent elections until his retirement. King appointed him minister of justice and attorney general and later secretary of state for external affairs (acting in 1945, regular 1946). St. Laurent was deputy chairman of the Canadian delegation to the United Nations Conference on International Organization in San Francisco in 1945 and served as leader of the delegations at the UN General Assembly sessions in London and New York City in 1946-1947. St. Laurentaccept the leadership of the Liberal Party in 1948 and succeeded King as prime minister. Under Saint Laurent’s leadership Newfoundland became a part of the dominion; his government supported UN intervention in Korea (1950–1953) and in Suez (1956); and Canada helped to keep India and Pakistan as members of the Commonwealth. St. Laurent endeavoured to unify and develop the country by equalizing provincial revenues, by expanding social security and university education, and by establishing a council for promoting arts and letters. St. Laurent led his party to great victories in the general elections of 1949 and 1953, but the Liberals were narrowly defeated in 1957. After a short period as Leader of the Opposition and now more than 75 years old, St. Laurent's motivation to be involved in politics was gone. He announced his intention to retire from politics. What had been a "temporary" political career had lasted 17 years. He was succeeded as Liberal Party leader by his former Secretary of State for External Affairs and representative at the United Nations, Lester B. Pearson, at the party's leadership convention in 1958. After his political retirement, he returned to practising law.

Honourary Degrees - Presentation - Stephen Worobetz

Stephen Worobetz, honourary Doctor of Laws degree recipient, awaits presentation at special 75th Anniversary convocation held at Centennial Auditorium. Iain MacLean, University Secretary, prepares to hood Dr. Worobetz.

Bio/Historical Note: The President’s Residence is among the original buildings constructed on campus. The residence was designed by Brown and Vallance, and was built under the direction of A.R. Greig, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. The building was originally planned as a wooden structure. However, a proposal to construct the building out of a local river rock, later known as greystone, was raised prior to the commencement of construction- if the government would foot the bill. Eventually the latter material was chosen, though the government perhaps came to regret its decision. Construction on the President's Residence began in 1910 and finished in early 1913. By the time it was completed the original cost for the building had ballooned from $32,000 to $44,615. Walter Murray, the first president of the University, was deeply embarrassed by the cost of what was to be his personal residence, even though it was also a public building. However, the people of Saskatoon were proud of the building and the status it gave their University, and no public outcry over the cost ever materialized. Renovations to the President's Residence were completed in 1989 by PCL-Maxam at a cost of $96,752. The renovations were designed by architects Malkin/Edwards.
