Bio/Historical Note: In 1914, the University of Saskatchewan agreed to lease 4.5 acres of land to the Presbyterian Theological College of Saskatoon for a period of 21 years at an annual rate of $5. The lease was subject to renewal, but was conditional: the land could only be used “for the purpose of erecting buildings and structures for the advancement of learning and for teaching and instruction in Theology and Divinity” and any architectural plans had to be submitted to the University’s Board of Governors for approval. Should the lease end, ownership of both land and buildings would revert to the University, which would compensate the College for the value of any structures based on their usefulness for “teaching and instruction or...as Dormitories for Students.” Plans to establish a Presbyterian College, affiliated with the University, had begun in 1910, spearheaded largely by Walter C. Murray, University President. A large family home at 209 Albert Avenue was used before the College moved to their new building in 1923.
