Bio/historical note: The City Hospital is the earliest of our 'not built' examples. In 1911 the City of Saskatoon approached the university about the possibility of building a hospital on campus. It was felt that until hospital facilities were fully developed on campus, the university would not move to establish a College of Medicine. The Board of Governors replied favourably and negotiations were opened. The first hurdle to be cleared was the question of location. The City asked for a site on the riverbank. The University wanted the land for itself, having recently turned down a similar request by the theological colleges. A site southeast of what is now College and Cumberland was agreed upon. The eight-acre parcel of land was to be leased for 49 years at a cost of $5 per annum with an option for another 49 years. The style of the architecture and material of construction had to be approved by the Board of Governors and, with the establishment of a College of Medicine, the University reserved the right to nominate one-half of the physicians and surgeons in attendance at the public wards of the hospital. On 12 December 1911, a referendum asked citizens to choose a site for a new hospital and approve a $300,000 expenditure for the construction. The money was approved and the university site won by a two-to-one margin over its alternative in City Park. Architects were engaged, sketches submitted and an excavation contract was signed in October 1912. The original funds proved to be inadequate. Another $185,000 was asked for and approved by the ratepayers but was never spent. The combination of a sagging economy, accelerating costs and the war stalled and eventually ended the project. The city opted for the cheaper alternative of an addition to the City Park facility. The excavated hole remained a visible reminder of the failed scheme until 1932, when on Sunday, May 8 an eight year old boy drowned in the flooded pit when he fell from a raft he and his friends had built. Plans to fill-in the site were subsequently made.

Bio/Historical Note: The Prairie Swine Centre is a 300-sow farrow-to-finish swine research facility located just outside of Saskatoon on Floral Road, east of the Floral Cemetery, and east of Range Road 3043. The Centre is a non-profit research and technology centre that works with different facets of industry and governments across Canada. It was originally built in 1980 by the University of Saskatchewan. In addition to the standard production facilities, there is a surgery suite, metabolism crates, two environmental chambers on-site and a separate disease challenge facility located about 40 minutes from Saskatoon. Research programs, specializing in animal behaviour and welfare, nutrition and agricultural engineering, focus on the applied aspects of issues facing the swine industry. The PSC’s technology transfer program focuses on distributing the scientists’ latest research results, ensuring strong engagement within the pork industry. PSC also offers a contract research program that specializes in proprietary research for companies seeking scientifically-sound data for product registration or marketing for their nutritional, animal health, behavioural and environmentally focused products (this program can also assist with human-health product research using the pig as a model).

Bio/Historical Note: Gertrude E. Story (née Wudrick) was born 19 September 1929 and grew up in a German Lutheran farming environment at Bergheim, Saskatchewan, close to Sutherland. Her early years formed the background to much of her writing. Starting in the early 1950s Story developed her craft as a freelance writer and broadcaster. Her works include adult and children’s fiction, poetry, radio plays, commentary and non-fiction. For many years she entertained CBC Radio audiences with her literary reports from her home in Vanscoy, southwest of Saskatoon. An active member of the Saskatchewan Writers Guild, her poetry and stories have appeared in a variety of publications across the country. In 1980 her first volume of poetry, The Book of Thirteen, was published, followed a year later with a collection of stories, The Way to Always Dance. Other major publications include After Sixty: Going Home; Black Swan; Counting Two; How to Saw Wood With An Angel; It Never Pays To Laugh Too Much; and The Last House on Main Street. In addition to her writing and radio work, Story has devoted much of her time to teaching the craft to others through workshops and writer-in-residence programs throughout the province. In 1981, at the age of 52, she received her BA at the University of Saskatchewan, convocating as the most distinguished graduate and receiving the university's Arts Prize and the President's Medal. She also was a recipient of the Saskatchewan Culture & Youth Poetry Prize, a CBC Radio Literary Award, and the Saskatchewan Writers' Guild Children's Literature Award. Story was very much appreciated by her peers. During her lifetime, Story was set alongside the likes of Szumigalski, Layton, Vanderhaeghe, and Mitchell in terms of the significance of her contributions to Canadian, prairie, and in particular Saskatchewan literature. She died 18 January 2014 in Weyburn, Saskatchewan.
