Scope and content
Dr. Bernadette Bujila, Department of French, speaks at podium as Dr. Margaret M. Cameron is presented an honourary Doctor of Laws degree by E.M. (Ted) Culliton, University Chancellor, at Convocation held in Physical Education gymnasium.
Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Margaret M. Cameron (BA,, MA, D de l'Univ)., a native of Nova Scotia, received her early education in Sydney. She graduated with a BA degree 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 an assistant professor of French in 1924 and for 21 of her 39 years in the service of the university was head of her department. As one of the first women in Canada to head a department not devoted exclusively to so-called women’s work, Dr. Cameron displayed a tact and good judgment that earned her the lasting gratitude of women in academic circles. Her 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, 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. Cameron was awarded an honourary Doctor of Laws degree from the U of S in 1967.
