Chief Justice E.M. (Ted) Culliton, University Chancellor, unveils a plaque dedicating the residence to the memory of A.C. McEown.
Bio/Historical Note: Alpheus Colborne (Colb) McEown was a graduate of Saskatoon Collegiate Institute. He excelled in football and basketball at the University of Saskatchewan, serving as captain of the football team in his senior year. He was trainer of the University of Saskatchewan hockey team in 1921-1922, champions of the Saskatoon-Prince Albert Hockey League that year. He coached the men's varsity basketball team from 1932 to 1948, leading the Huskies to the Rigby Cup championship in the WCIAU for eight straight years, starting in 1934-35.Colb was also coach of the Huskies football team in 1939, 1940, 1943, 1944 and 1945. In addition to his contributions to athletics, Colb served on the University senate, on the board of governors and was president of the alumni association. McEown became Assistant to the President in 1949. As the President's senior administrative officer, McEown was responsible for the general administration and finances of the University including academic and fiscal planning, budgeting, and buildings and grounds. In 1961, McEown became the University's first V.P. (Academic). This change reflected an administrative change rather than a functional one. He had functioned as the President's senior administrative officer and defacto Vice-President since 1949 when he was appointed Assistant to the President. McEown's primary duties were the general administration and finances of the University and included academic and fiscal planning, budgeting, and buildings and grounds. He also acted as secretary of the Board of Governors. In 1968, McEown was appointed Vice-President (University) as part of the re-organization that resulted from the amendments of the University Act. Shortly after his appointment, McEown announced his resignation but died in September 1968.
