Scope and content
Dr. Margaret M. Cameron, head of the Department of French, accepts a scroll from Dr. J. Francis Leddy at an unidentified event, [perhaps Dr. Cameron's retirement in 1963, or her honourary degree ceremony in 1967].
Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Margaret M. Cameron, a native of Nova Scotia, received her early education in Sydney. She graduated with a BA from McGill University in 1916, obtained an MA from Radcliffe the following year, and later completed a doctorate at the University of Paris. She joined the faculty of the University of Saskatchewan as assistant professor of French in 1924. In 1945 Dr. Cameron became head of the department until her retirement in 1966. She was one of the first women in Canada to head a department not devoted exclusively to so-called women’s work. Dr. Cameron's record of service includes offices held in a number of organizations such as the Saskatoon women’s division of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs, the local branch of the Humanities Association, the University Faculty Club, the Canadian Federation of University Women, and the Canadian Association of University Teachers of French. After retiring, Dr. Cameron translated three volumes of Gustave Lanctot’s historical work and the English version of Guy Fregault’s La Guerre de la Conquete. Dr. Cameron retired in 1963 and was awarded an honourary Doctor of Laws degree from the U of S in 1967. The Margaret M. Cameron Prize in French is awarded annually.
