Saskatchewan Homemakers' Clubs - Plaque Unveiling
Hon. Adolph Matsalla, Minister of Tourism and Renewable Resources, Government of Saskatchewan, unveils a plaque in honour of the Homemakers' Clubs of Saskatchewan, as R.W. Begg, University President, looks on. The plaque is located between Saskatchewan Hall and Qu'Appelle Hall.
Bio/historical note: The Homemakers' Clubs of Saskatchewan were created at a "special conference for women" initiated by the University in 1911. The objectives as stated in the constitution, were "to promote the interests of the home and the community". It was organized virtually as part of the university. The Director of Agricultural Extension was the ex officio secretary and managing director until 1913, when these duties fell to the newly appointed Director of Women's Work. From that time until reorganization in 1952, women's extension remained as a separate unit, reporting directly to the president of the university. After 1952, its work was still carried on independently, but with a greater degree of integration with agricultural and adult education services. Unique in Canada was the Club's official association with the University, which provided the provincial secretary, secretarial staff, and extension department resources to aid the development of the club and its programs. In 1971, the name was changed to the Saskatchewan Women's Institute and the University reduced its role to supplying free office space on campus.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Kenneth J. (Jack) Paynter received his DDS from the University of Toronto in 1944 and a PhD in Anatomy from Columbia University in New York in 1953. In 1951 he joined the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto, and served as head of the Department of Oral Anatomy from 1952–1967. Dr. Paynter was appointed the first dean of the College of Dentistry, University of Saskatchewan, in 1967 and served as dean until 1973. In 1973 he was appointed director of the Grants Program of the Medical Research Council in Ottawa and served in that capacity until his retirement in 1984. Dr. Paynter was president of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada at the time of his death in a car accident on 30 January 1985.
Head and shoulders portrait of Arthur J. Porter, dean of Engineering.
Bio/Historical Note: Arthur J. Porter was born in 1910 in Ulverston, England. While studying at the University of Manchester, Porter helped build a differential analyzer - one of the world’s first analog computers, using a Mecanno construction set. In 1937 he accepted a fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Porter helped build the Rockefeller differential analyser - the most ambitious analog/digital computer built to date. It was used extensively for projects during World War II. In 1949 Porter accepted a position with Ferranti Canada and worked on the DATAR system. DATAR combined data from a convoy of ships’ sensors, providing a single ‘overall view’ that allowed the commander to make better-informed decisions. Soon afterwards, in the early 1950s, Porter was one of six Canadians selected to work on Project Lamp Light; working on data processing expertise was crucial to this top-secret North American air defence initiative. In 1958 Porter became the fourth dean of Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan. There, along with Norman Moody and Dr. William Feindel, Porter established Canada’s first biomedical research program. In 1962 Porter moved to the University of Toronto to chair their new Industrial engineering department - one of the first in the world. While there, Porter also helped establish the University’s biomedical program. During the late 1960s he was involved in projects that bridged the gap between culture and science. He was the first acting director of the University of Toronto’s Centre for Culture and Technology. Porter also chaired the Science and Technology Advisory Committee when Montreal hosted the World’s Fair-Expo 67. Porter died in 2010 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina at age 99.
