Scope and content

E.M. (Ted) Culliton, University Chancellor, making presentation of an honourary Doctor of Laws degree to Rex Schneider at Convocation held at Regina Campus.

Bio/Historical Note: Rex Harold Schneider was born in Birnamwood, Wisconsin, took his higher education at Capital University and the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Columbus, Ohio, then his Master’s at Columbia University. After a few years as principal of high schools in Ohio, he became the first principal of Luther College in Regina in 1926, a position he held until August 1964. During these 38 years he guided the development of Luther College as a residential high school and Junior College affiliated with the University of Saskatchewan. The College grew even during the difficult years of the economic depression followed by World War II and the institution was ready for expansion in the post war period. Dr. Schneider initiated the exchange of instructors and students in the University program between Luther College and Regina College. This resulted in having him at Regina College and the University from 1944 to 1960 as exchange professor of Psychology. From 1946-1964 he was president of the Canadian Lutheran World Relief which has been engaged in relief in all parts of the world and has helped 20,000 refugees to new homes in Canada. From 1956-1964 Dr. Schneider was a member of the Joint Union Committee established to complete the merger of three international Lutheran bodies resulting in the formation of the American Lutheran Church. His alma mater, Capital University, conferred an honorary doctor of laws degree upon him in 1942 in recognition of his services. Named in his honour at Luther College is the Rex Schneider Auditorium.
