Scope and content

Oval-shaped frame with head and shoulders image of Thomas E. Perrett, member of University Council, 1910.

Bio/Historical Note: Thomas Edwin Perrett was born in Westmeath Township, Renfrew County, Ontario, on 13 February 1871. He received his bachelor's degree in Toronto and took graduate studies in Chicago and at Columbia University in New York. Perrett arrived in Regina, Saskatchewan, in 1891 and taught at the Teachers’ Normal School, rising to Superintendent of City schools. Perrett was a member on the University of Saskatchewan Senate and was on the University Council in 1910. A member of the local militia until World War I, he enlisted with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in 1915. After a variety of stops he was eventually assigned (at age 46) as a Lieutenant Colonel to the 5th Battalion Canadian Railway Troops located outside Ypres, arriving at headquarters on 9 September 1917. On 29 September, Perrett was injured as a result of a bomb dropped from a plane and lost the sight of both eyes. He was eventually transferred to the Imperial Order of Daughters of the Empire Hospital in London and then St. Dunstan’s Hostel for the Blind that had opened in 1915 in Regent’s Park. He returned to Regina in November 1918 and resumed his post as the principal of the Normal School. Perrett was awarded an Order of the British Empire (OBE) which was presented to him by the Prince of Wales at a ceremony in Regina on 4 Oct 1919. Perrett died in 1945.
