Head and shoulders image of Dr. Carlyle King, instructor in English.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Carlyle Albert King was born in 1907 in Cooksville, Ontario; his family came to Saskatchewan in 1912. Dr. King received a BA (1926) with honours in English and History from the University of Saskatchewan, and an MA (1927) and PhD (1931) from the University of Toronto. He taught in the English Department at the U of S from 1929 until 1977. Dr. King was one of the first proponents of Canadian Literature. He was head of the English Department (1949-1964), dean of Academic (1967-1971), then acting vice-president and became assistant to the President (Academic) in 1975. Dr. King celebrated the University in three publications and wrote a history of research and scholarship of the university. His second life was politics. Dr. King was elected to the provincial executive of the Co-Operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) in 1939. He ran against George Williams for leadership of the party at the 1940 convention and lost, but gained about a third of the vote. Dr. King was elected president of the party in 1945 and remained until 1960, meeting every second Sunday with T.C. Douglas. He ran a number of election campaigns and wrote CCF pamphlets including “What is Democratic Socialism?” Dr. King was also chair of the major pacifist organization in Canada, the Fellowship of Reconciliation. He was also a force in the arts and in libraries. Dr. King was a member of the Saskatchewan Arts Board from its first year, 1947, until 1964. He was on the board of the Saskatoon Art Centre, and president from 1957-1959. In 1957, as part of the province's Golden Jubilee, Dr. King edited an early collection of Saskatchewan writing, Saskatchewan Harvest. He was also active in music organizations but it was in libraries that he had his greatest influence. Dr. King was chair of the Library Advisory Council, set up by the Douglas government, for twenty years (1947-1967). He was president of the Saskatchewan Library Association in 1955 and was chair for many years of the Library Legislation Committee of the Canadian Library Association. Dr. King was chair of the Saskatoon Public Library from 1958 to 1972. He received a Merit Award from the Canadian Library Trustees Association and in 1977 a branch library in Saskatoon was named to honour his long service. Dr. King received an honourary degree from the University of Regina in 1984. He died in March 1988 in [Regina].
