Scope and content

Emmett M. Hall, University Chancellor, making presentation of an honourary Doctor of Laws degree to Archbishop Maurice Baudoux at Convocation held at Centennial Auditorium.

Bio/Historical Note: Archbishop Maurice Baudoux was born in Belgium in 1902. At the age of nine he came to Canada, where his family settled at Prud'homme, Saskatchewan. Baudoux studied at Prud'homme, at the College de St. Boniface, at the Grand Seminaries of Edmonton and Quebec. He was awarded his Doctorate of Theology by Laval University in 1929, the year he was ordained a priest. He served in the diocese of Prince Albert, later in the diocese of Saskatoon when it was created in 1934. Baudoux was chosen the first Bishop of St. Paul, Alberta, when this diocese was instituted in 1948. Four years later he became Assistant Archbishop of St. Boniface, Manitoba, and succeeded to this See after three years. Nineteen years later Baudoux retired, in 1974. He was honoured by several Canadian universities in Quebec and Manitoba, and made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1979. Baudoux was a champion of French-Canadian culture in Saskatchewan, with involvement in the French-Canadian Cultural Association of Saskatchewan, the French-Canadian School Commissioners' Association, and French radio and TV sponsoring groups. His concern encompassed also other groups of Canadians, in particular the Hungarian community near Prud'homme. In 1980 he was awarded an honourary Doctor of Laws from the U of S. Baudoux died in 1988.
