University of Saskatchewan. Summer School.

  • Corporate body
  • 1914-

The University Summer School emerged in 1914; for the first three years (1914-1917), the Department of Education assumed responsibility for the direction and support of the school. Only school teachers took the courses; these were designed to improve instruction in agriculture, household science, nature study, art, and elementary science. In 1917, at the request of the Department, the University took over management of the School, and classes were offered leading to a degree. Classes were given in English, Latin, Chemistry, Physics, and Field Husbandry (Morton, p.110). From 1919 to 1937, G.H. Ling was Director; during his tenure it grew into one of the largest and best known university summer schools in Canada (Morton, p.71).

Its primary function is to acquire, preserve, and make accessible permanently valuable records of the University: that is, records, in any medium, of continuing administrative, legal, and/or historical value. In addition to administrative records the Archives also collects the private papers of faculty, staff, students, alumni, and University-related organizations and societies; as well as private collections which support the University's research strengths.

University of Saskatchewan. University Libraries

  • Corporate body

Though the first recorded withdrawal from the University Library occurred in October 1909, nearly five decades passed before the Library had its own building. The early collection was housed either on the second floor of the College Building, later known as the Administration Building, or was scattered among a number of small departmental libraries. Plans for a new library building ended with the Depression; and a dramatically reduced acquisitions budget was offset by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation in 1933. In 1943 the University hired its first professional Librarian. A fire in the attic of the College Building in 1947 resulted in extensive water damage to the Library below. A combination of provincial grants and University fund raising financed the construction of the Murray Memorial Library, with space for the Provincial Archives, between 1954 and 1956. Over the next two decades the University Library System mirrored the expansion of the University in general and now includes a new main library building and branches in Education, Health Sciences, Law, Engineering, Geography/Physics, Thorvaldson, and Veterinary Medicine. The University Librarians have been: M.A. Morton, (1914-1940); J.M. Lothian, (1941-1943); T.R. Barcus, (1943-1945); D.C. Appelt, (1945-1979); N.A. Brown, (1979-1986); P.D. Wiens, (1986-1992); F.S. Winter [acting], (1992-1994); F.S. Winter, (1994- ).

University of Saskatchewan. University Secretary's Office

  • Corporate body
  • 1968-

In addition to regulating by statute the details of the two-campus organization, the University Act of 1968 called for the creation of a University Secretary. This officer would become the secretary of the Board of Governors, the Senate, and the newly created General University Council. There was also a Campus Secretary for each of the two campuses (Saskatoon and Regina). In 1974 the University Act was replaced by the University of Saskatchewan Act to reflect the establishment of the University of Regina. The duties of the University Secretary were to remain essentially the same. The General University Council, however, was made redundant and replaced by the University Council. As the keeper of the official records of the above bodies, this office acts as a communication centre for academic and administrative decisions pertaining to the University. The following have served as University Secretary: J.A.E. Bardwell (1968-1974); N.K. Cram (1974-1984); R.I. MacLean (1984-2000); Gordon Barnhart (2000-2005); Lea Pennock (2005-2013); Elizabeth Williamson (2013-2017); Beth Bilson (2017- ). The Campus Secretary (Saskatoon) was N.K. Cram (1968-1974)

University of Saskatchewan. Vice-President Special Projects / Planning & Development

  • Corporate body

In 1981 Blaine Holmlund was appointed to a new administrative position: Vice-President (Special Projects). That office was responsible for initiating major projects; assisting Deans and faculty in implementing intercollege programs; preparing annual budget submissions and multi-year budget plans; campus-wide computer and communications services; the University Studies Group, physical plant operations, A-V services, college reviews, and student services. In his 10 December 1985 report to Council, President Leo Kristjanson noted that "because of a perceived uncertainty about the boundaries of responsibility indicated by the title VP Special Projects, the title has been changed to VP Planning and Development." The responsibilities of the office remained relatively unchanged. BA Holmlund continued as VP (Planning & Development) until his retirement from the University in 1991.
