Bio/Historical Note: Francis Hedley Auld was born in 1881 in Prince Edward Island and attended Prince of Wales College at Charlottetown. Upon graduation in 1899, he taught public school briefly. In 1902 Auld moved to western Canada, intending to settle in Edmonton, Alberta. He visited his brother who taught in Abernethy, Saskatchewan, and met the Honourable William R. Motherwell. A general store job did not last long, as Motherwell secured employment for him in the provincial government's Dairy Branch. Auld was the first director of Extension at the University of Saskatchewan (1910–1912). On 31 January 1911 Auld met with 42 women in Regina, and the Saskatchewan Homemakers clubs were initiated. These clubs provided networking on homemaking, temperance issues, gardening, health, and poultry raising. Auld returned to the province's civil service in 1914, rejoining the Provincial Department of Agriculture. In 1916 Auld became Deputy Minister of Agriculture, serving until 1946. He was elected to the University of Saskatchewan Senate in 1944. He became the fifth Chancellor of the University of Saskatchewan from 1947-1965. From 1950-1951 Auld was Grand Lodge of Saskatchewan, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons Past Grand Masters. Auld was also a member of the Board of Governors of St. Andrew's College. In 1936 an honourary Doctor of Laws degree was awarded to Auld by the U of S. The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE), was awarded to Auld in 1946. Auld died on 15 February 1967 at age 95. In 1973 he was inducted posthumously into the Saskatchewan Agriculture Hall of Fame.
