Ted Turner, University Chancellor, making presentation of an honourary Doctor of Laws degree that was awarded posthumously to Norman Ward. Betty Ward, Norman Ward's widow, accepts the degree. Dr. Sylvia Fedoruk, Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, seated.
Bio/Historical Note: Norman McQueen Ward was born in 1918 and raised in Hamilton, Ontario, and was educated at McMaster University and the University of Toronto. He joined the faculty of the University of Saskatchewan in 1944, staying with the institution until his retirement in 1985. The writer and editor of several important political science texts on politics in Canada and Saskatchewan, Ward also published three books of humor. He won the Stephen Leacock Award in 1961 for Mice in the Beer, his first collection of humorous essays. Ward’s later humor works were The Fully-Processed Cheese (1964) and Her Majesty's Mice (1977). He was named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1962, and an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1976. Ward also served on the advisory board for the first edition of The Canadian Encyclopedia in 1985. Ward died in 1990 in Saskatoon. "Gardiner: Relentless Liberal," his biography of former Saskatchewan Premier James Garfield Gardiner, was published posthumously later that year. Ward’s wife, Betty Ward, was presented with an honourary Doctor of Laws degree in May 1990 from the University of Saskatchewan, three months after Ward’s death.
