The University Women’s Club of Moose Jaw was formed in 1921. The first meetings were organized by Miss Ethel Kirk Grayson and Mrs. Jane Graham with 14 members attending.
They were affiliated with the Canadian Federation of University Women which was itself linked to the International Federation of University Women.
The stated objectives were “to stimulate intellectual activity among university women” and “to work for the practical advancement of art, science, literature and civic and social reform.”
The group met initially at the public library and later at the YMCA. These meetings generally dealt with business at hand and no refreshments were served. Social events were often held in members homes.
The group sponsored several awards and scholarships including the Jennie E. Graham and Flora E. Warner scholarships.
They also sponsored speakers on a wide variety of topics.
An early childhood study group resulted in a nursery school pilot project during May and June 1973. This became St. George’s Nursery School in 1974. The program did not have any religious affiliation. It was so named because it was housed in rented space in the basement of St. George’s Church. The nursery school was operated by a standing committee of the club until 1982.
A unanimous motion was passed on June 21, 1982 to take steps to dissolve the club. Assets were disposed of over that summer and the club disbanded in September.

The University Women’s Club was founded in Saskatchewan in 1918, and the Swift Current branch in 1930 with ten charter members. The Club participated in the work of the Canadian Federation of University Women to encourage educational values by educating themselves, participating in the education of others and to stimulate members to become involved in pubic affairs. The Club also awarded the Dorothy Goddard scholarship annually. The club disbanded ca. 2006 and the majority of the records were transferred to the Saskatchewan Archives Board.

Khaki University (initially Khaki College or University of Vimy Ridge) was a Canadian overseas educational institution set up and managed by the general staff of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) in Britain from 1917-1919 during the First World War. The system, named for the khaki-coloured uniforms of the CEF, was set up by the efforts of Dr. Edmund Henry Oliver, Professor of History and Economics, University of Saskatchewan, and others and was supported by the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA). The University, with makeshift colleges mainly in central England, was intended to be “a school of efficiency and citizenship, a sort of combination of an Agricultural High School and a Technical School.” Courses were offered in Agriculture, Business Efficiency, Elementary Practical Science, and Citizenship. Classes were scheduled so that battalions could attend during their rest periods. Certificates given were accepted by Canadian universities. An important part of the University’s services was a network of thirty libraries that served more than 50,000 soldiers. Operations were suspended in April 1918 because of the massive German offensive. The war was over by November and Oliver returned to Canada. The term was used again for Canadian educational programs for veterans from 1945-1946 after the Second World War.

In the spring of 1910, when the sod was turned on the site of the present College Building, there was on the prairie but one clump of half a dozen poplars. The university of today, large, complex, handsome, is the result of human imagination – and money and work and the will to make it happen. To remember the prairie before the building began is a good way to recognize the importance of human agency in remaking our world. This essay is a brief account of the decisions that led to the building of the university of today.

Since 1969, the Department of Veterinary Physiological Sciences has provided undergraduate and graduate training in the function of the physiological systems of mammals, carried out basic and applied research, and provided analytical and diagnostic assistance to its clients through its three service labs. The following have served as head of the department: R.H. Dunlop (1967-1971); W.E. Roe (1971-1977); J.G. Manns (1977-1982); D.L. Hamilton (1982-1985); C.S. Sisodia (1985-1991); D.L. Hamilton (1991- ).

Instruction in veterinary science commenced in the College of Agriculture as early as 1913 and an animal diseases laboratory was established in 1924. Discussions among officials of the prairie governments in 1944 and 1956 led to negotiations for a school to serve the western provinces. The University of Saskatchewan was selected as the site for a college in 1963. Teaching began in 1965. The following individuals have served as Dean: D.L.T. Smith (1963-1974); N.O. Nielsen (1975-1982); G.F. Hamilton (1983-1992); A. Livingston (1992-2002), Charles Rhodes (2002-2003 Acting, 2003-2010; Douglas Freeman (2010- ).

Visitor and Cultural Resources was created in 1992 as part of the Office of Public Relations. Its mandate was to develop, coordinate, and implement interpretive programs and educational material for University tours. The unit was to act as a liaison between the University and the members of the public interested in the cultural resources located on campus. Interpreters were employed and trained to conduct general campus tours or specific museum and gallery tours. Due to financial constraints Visitor and Cultural Resources was made redundant in early 1994. Melanie Boyd was the only head of the unit (1992-1994).

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.

Created in 1970, the University Studies Group provides three basic services to the University of Saskatchewan. Firstly, it compiles and disseminates baseline statistical data. Secondly, it conducts one-time informational projects for Senior Administration, Deans and Department Heads, Committees, outside agencies, and to a lesser extent for individual faculty. Thirdly, it acts as support for university policy and planning functions through involvement in a variety of assessment projects such as college, departmental and non-academic reviews and the Academic Planning and Priorities Committee. Directors of the USG have been: G.W. Peardon, 1970-1973; M.G. Sheppard, 1973-1974; B.A. Holmlund, 1974-1980; K.A. Wilson, 1980-1985; M.L. Benson, 1985-1989; B.L. Dubray (acting), 1988-1992; B.L. Dubray, 1993- .

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)

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- ).
