Fund Raising for Research and Scholarship

R.W. Begg, University President, accepts a cheque from J.Y. (Jack) McFaull representing the Space Engineering Division Systems Limited.

Bio/Historical Note: The University of Saskatchewan's Institute of Space and Atmospheric Studies joined in 1965 with university scientists and researchers to form the Space Engineering Division (later known as SED Systems Incorporated). SED supplies both systems and services to the satellite industry. SED is located in the Innovation Place Research Park on the U of S campus.

Geology - Research - Marilyn Truscott

Marilyn Truscott of Glidden, Saskatchewan, a PhD candidate in geological sciences at the University of Saskatchewan, makes use of an electron probe x-ray microanalyzer. Mrs. Truscott uses the machine to analyze samples of volcanic rock from the Sweetgrass Hills in Montana. She is obtaining information that will help provide a more complete picture of the geological history of the Western Plains.

H.R. Baker fonds

  • MG 66
  • Fonds
  • 1956-1994

This fonds consists of correspondence, reports, articles, addresses, minutes, course material and notes relating to H.R. Baker’s career and research. There is considerable material regarding the development and delivery of extension programs and adult education in Saskatchewan. Much of the material deals rural and community planning and coping with changing social and economic conditions. This fonds is supplementary and complementary to the official records of the Extension Division.

Baker, Harold Reid

Human Motion Research

Four motion picture frames of a male runner's stride are correlated with EMG graphs of the activity of two of his thigh muscles as indicated by the numbers.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Bruce R. Brandell, Department of Anatomy, studied the activity of muscles in the thigh during walking, trotting, and sprinting. The study provided new insights into the training of athletes and into the treatment of walking disabilities.

J.E. Murray fonds

  • MG 61
  • Fonds
  • 1843-1980, predominant 1908-1967

This fonds contains the personal correspondence, office, and research files of the Murray family, including W.C. Murray (President, University of Saskatchewan), his wife Christina, and his daughters, Christina, Dr. Lucy H. Murray (Professor of English, Regina College), and Dr. Jean E. Murray.

J.M. Bell fonds

  • MG 182
  • Fonds
  • 1929-1997 (inclusive) ; 1948-1996 (predominant)

This fonds contains material that documents Dr. Bell’s teaching and research activities during his career at the University of Saskatchewan. Of particular note is the resource material for his history of the Department of Animal and Poultry Science, Hoofprints to Reprints, published in 1996.

Bell, J. Milton

J.M. Hayden fonds

  • MG 72
  • Fonds
  • 1919-1984 (inclusive) ; 1961-1983 (pre-dominant)

This fonds contains an initial section of articles and reviews written by J.M Hayden. The remainder is correspondence, notes, drafts, and research material relating to his Doctoral thesis, "The Estates General of 1614" and his four published books: "France and the Estates General of 1614", "The Manning of the British Navy During the Seven Years War" [written by Stephen Gradish and edited by Hayden], "So Much To Do, So Little Time: The Writings of Hilda Neatby" and "Seeking A Balance: The University of Saskatchewan 1907-1982." The latter two contain the most extensive material, and are particularly relevant to the study of the University of Saskatchewan's history.

Linear Accelerator Building - Open House

A crowd of people stand beside the Linear Accelerator during the open house in conjunction with the official opening.

Bio/Historical Note: The building of the Linear Accelerator (Linac) was not a random event but rather the result of a series of developments on campus. The Department of Physics had over the previous decades built a reputation for experimentation and innovation. The post-war period saw the University of Saskatchewan in the forefront of nuclear physics in Canada. In 1948, Canada’s first betatron (and the world’s first used in the treatment of cancer) was installed on campus. It was used for research programs in nuclear physics, radiation chemistry, cancer therapy and radiation biology. Next the world’s first non-commercial cobalt-60 therapy unit for the treatment of cancer was officially opened in 1951. With this unit research was undertaken in the areas of radiological physics, radiation chemistry and the effects of high energy radiation on plants and animals. When the construction of the Linear Accelerator was announced in the fall of 1961, it was portrayed as the next logical step on the University’s research path. Varian Associates, Palo Alto, California, designed and built the accelerator with Poole Construction of Saskatoon employed as the general contractor. The 80 foot electron accelerator tube was to create energy six times that of the betatron. The cost of the $1,750,000 facility was split between the National Research Council and the University of Saskatchewan with the NRC meeting the cost of the equipment and the University assuming the costs of the building. The official opening in early November of 1964 was more than just a few speeches and the cutting of a ribbon. It was a physics-fest, with 75 visiting scientist from around the world in attendance presenting papers and giving lectures over the period of several days. Three eminent physicists were granted honorary degrees at the fall convocation and hundreds of people showed up for the public open house. For three decades the Linac has served the campus research community and will continue to do so as it has become incorporated into the Canadian Light Source synchrotron.

Mark Jordon

Mark Jordon, CP Fellowship recipient, is seated at a table in his lab. Mr. Jordon's research through the Western Canadian Agricultural Research Program involved the use of biotechnology to improve flax resistant to GLEAN (used by farmers to control broadleaf weeds in wheat), and higher tolerance to frost and salt.

Matador International Biological Program Research Station

View of the Matador International Biological Program Research Station near Kyle, Saskatchewan. Buildings visible in foreground and centre of image.

Bio/historical note: From 1967 to 1972, plant ecologists at the University of Saskatchewan participated in the International Biological Program (IBP). As part of this worldwide study of agricultural productivity, ecologists established the Matador field station near Kyle for grassland research carried out by scientists from thirty-four countries. The Matador Project involved the study of the total grasslands ecosystem,including the interaction of animals, plants, microorganisms, soils and the atmosphere.

Matador International Biological Program Research Station - R.T. Coupland

R.T. Coupland, Director of Matador Project (1966-1976) and professor of plant ecology, examines grain in a field.

Bio/Historical Note: From 1967 to 1972, plant ecologists at the University of Saskatchewan participated in the International Biological Program. As part of this worldwide study of agricultural productivity, ecologists established the Matador field station for grassland research carried out by scientists from thirty-four countries. The field station was located near Kyle, thirty miles north of Swift Current, in an area of natural grassland that was potentially the best wheat growing soil in the brown soil zone of Saskatchewan. The land (three square miles) was originally leased for 21 years from the Government of Saskatchewan; the lease (for $1/year) has since been renewed and currently expires in 2009. The Matador Project involved the study of the total grasslands ecosystem, including the interaction of animals, plants, microorganisms, soils and the atmosphere. Robert T. Coupland, Head of the Department of Plant Ecology, served as Director of the Matador Project.
