University of Saskatchewan. Dean of Students

  • Corporate body
  • 1967-1973

In 1967, as part of the administrative reorganization precipitated by the implementation of the one university two campus concept, the Board of Governors created the position of Dean of Students. The Dean was to be responsible for student counselling, the Student Health Centre, and the operating philosophy of student residences. Problems in the area of student-University relations were to be referred to the Dean's office for study and recommendation. R.A. Rennie, who was Director of Counselling and Student Affairs from 1958-1967, served as the only Dean of Students from 1967 until his death in 1973. With the creation of the University of Regina in 1974, the position of Dean of Students was made redundant.

University of Saskatchewan. Department of Computing Services

  • Corporate body
  • 1964-

The use of digital computers at the University of Saskatchewan began with the installation of a Librascope General Precision LGP-30 computer in the Mathematics department, in 1958. This machine was designed to fit into a Steelcase TM office desk, and had 4,096 words of 32-bit drum memory. Contrasted with today's microcomputer chips that have millions of transistors, this machine had 18 flip-flop circuits based on vacuum tube technology. It was jointly owned with PRL, and was not used except by the specialists in those two organizations. In the period 1963-65, an IBM 1620 was installed in the Engineering building. Some programming courses were given in Engineering, Commerce and Mathematics, but there was no full time support organization for computing until 1965, when an IBM 7040 "mainframe" was purchased with funding assistance from the National Research Council. It too was installed in the Engineering building and the Computational Centre was created in 1965. By 1967 a new IBM 360 Model 50 was installed in the Arts building, and the computer support staff consisted of 22 operators, programmers and analysts. In 1973 the University installed its first time-sharing system. It served up to 32 simultaneous users, and was programmed in BASIC. [Kavanagh, p. 1]. In 1974 the department was renamed the Department of Academic and Computing Services. The Department delivers a variety of technical, educational and sales services to the administrative and academic departments on campus. Head, Computational Centre: G.W. Peardon (1965-1969); N.E. Glassen [Acting] (1969-1970); N.E. Glassen (1970-1973); R. Vander Ham (1973-1974). Head, Computing Services: B.A. Malero (1964-1978); R.N. Kavanaugh (1978-1999); R. Bunt (2000- ).

The current 755 hectare site includes 147 hectares of campus, 30 hectares of research park, and a large University Farm and Experimental Plot. The University also owns under lease a 52 hectare site on Emma Lake used for summer session classes in Biology and Art. The University of Saskatchewan owns and operates three research farms used primarily by the Colleges of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine. Charged with maintaining the building, grounds and physical plant was the Superintendent of Buildings, later the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, and from 1983 the Director (now Executive Director) of Physical Plant. In 1996 Physical Plant was renamed Division of Facilities Management. The following have served as Superintendent of Buildings: A.R. Grieg (1909-1937); W.E. Lovell (1937-1947); W.J. Robson (1947-1957); J.A. Wedgewood (1957-1969); A.D. Reed (1969- ).

University of Saskatchewan. Division of Life Sciences

  • Corporate body
  • 1972-1983

The Division of Life Sciences was established in 1972 with the objective of drawing together life scientists from across the campus into a body which could effectively and efficiently coordinate training in the basic life sciences. It served as a forum for faculty dialogue between colleges, allowed for campus wide "vetting" of courses proposed by colleges and departments, and allowed comment on the hiring of faculty who might have interdepartmental teaching responsibilities. The division did not grant degrees. Students were to register in one college and could choose classes offered elsewhere on campus. The Division was disbanded in 1983 as a result of a referendum of the general membership. The following served as division head: W.G.E. Caldwell (1972-1973); J.D. Wood (1973-1975); J.M. Naylor (1975-1978); B.D. McLennan (1978-1979); J.M. Naylor (1979-1981); P.H.G. Stockdale (1981-1983).

University of Saskatchewan. Educational Media Access and Production (EMAP)√

  • SCN00257
  • Corporate body
  • 2007-2015

The Division of Audio Visual Services came into existence in 1966 following a Council resolution of April 1965. The objective was to develop a centralized audio visual service to support teaching, research and extension. With the growing use of audio visual technology in education the Division has expanded both in size and the diversity of services offered. The Division provided a film and videotape library, equipment services, photographic services, multi-media and sound recording, and a wide array of television services. Starting in the 1980s, the Division was been heavily involved in the use of satellite communication for distance education. The Division was subsequently renamed the Division of Media and Technology, and later Educational Media Access and Production, reflecting an expanding role with new technologies. Following a reorganization ca. 2015, Media Production became part of the Vice-Provost Teaching and Learning portfolio, with some other functions assumed by Information Communications and Technology. The following have served as director of the Division (revised 1994): P.R. Greenough (1967-1972); G.A. Farkas - acting - (1972-1974); G.A. Farkas (1974-1985); D. Fortosky (1985- ).
