B.A. Holmlund fonds

  • MG 354
  • Fonds
  • 1951-2004 (inclusive); 1972-2004 (predominant)

This fonds reflects Holmlund’s interest in the philosophy of education, his varied career at the University of Saskatchewan, and his concern for an equitable society. It is particularly valuable as a source for university history, specifically for the period of Leo Kristjanson’s tenure; and for issues surrounding health delivery, education, and the College of Medicine; the development of computer / IT services on campus; and First Nations educational opportunities. As a reflection of planning at a post-secondary U-15 institution, this fonds is particularly strong, notably for the materials surrounding the Issues and Options project.

Holmlund, Blaine Adrian

Baculites compressus

Baculites compressus. Say, from the Cretaceous of the South Dakota. 1. A young shell preserving the early coils. The living chamber occupied about one half the length of the shell. 2. A specimen of the same size as the last but with the outer shell broken away revealing the sutures - the outer edges of the septa. Note the variations in the sutures from the apex of the shell 2 to its wide end and on through the progressively layer shells as shown in 3, 4, 5, and 6, which represents the condition of the suture in the adult shell.
