Bio/historical note: Walter Palmer Thompson's association with the University of Saskatchewan began in 1912 in the Department of Biology as a graduate student where he organized the first Biology course. His Under graduate studies included Bachelor of Arts from Toronto University 1906-10, Masters and Doctorate from Harvard. He was awarded a fellowship that allowed him to travel to Africa and Java to study and collect plants, also to visit many European laboratories. He became Professor of Biology in 1913; Junior Dean 1933; Dean of Arts and Science 1938; President of University of Saskatchewan 1949; and President Emeritus 1959. In 1967 he was made Companion of the Order of Canada, one of the first group to receive this award for "merit of the highest degree". The W.P. Thompson Biology Building was named in his honour, which opened in 1960. W.P. Thompson married Marjorie Gordon in 1914 and had two children, Mary Gordon (Smith) born 19 August 1916 and a son James Scott born 31 July 1919.
