Bio/Historical Note: Garnet Homer Cutler (1882-1962) was appointed head of the Field Husbandry Department in May 1917. He graduated in 1909 with a BSA from Guelph (Ontario) Agricultural College. His first appointment was in the Cereal Husbandry Department of the Macdonald Agricultural College in Quebec. Cutler joined the U of S as Cereal Husbandry professor in 1913.
A field of Alpha. The Alfalfa-like sweet clover was selected from Arctic by Dr. L.E. Kirk in 1925. Buildings are visible in the distance.
Fund Raising for Research and Scholarship
R.W. Begg, University President, accepts a cheque from J.Y. (Jack) McFaull representing the Space Engineering Division Systems Limited.
Bio/Historical Note: The University of Saskatchewan's Institute of Space and Atmospheric Studies joined in 1965 with university scientists and researchers to form the Space Engineering Division (later known as SED Systems Incorporated). SED supplies both systems and services to the satellite industry. SED is located in the Innovation Place Research Park on the U of S campus.
Geology - Research - Marilyn Truscott
Marilyn Truscott of Glidden, Saskatchewan, a PhD candidate in geological sciences at the University of Saskatchewan, makes use of an electron probe x-ray microanalyzer. Mrs. Truscott uses the machine to analyze samples of volcanic rock from the Sweetgrass Hills in Montana. She is obtaining information that will help provide a more complete picture of the geological history of the Western Plains.

Letter from University of Saskatchewan Department of Horticulture Science
Part of Seager Wheeler and Family fonds
This letter is addressed to Miss Elizabeth R. Wheeler and sent from D. H. Dabbs. The letter is a response to a letter Elizabeth R Wheeler sent about the Research Station at Scott in regards to the research of the Golden Nugget potato. There is information on how to best grow the potato. The letter is two pages. It was found in the same envelope as letter 2023-L-001 in "Unknown Senders".
Linear Accelerator Building - Open House
A crowd of people stand beside the Linear Accelerator during the open house in conjunction with the official opening.
Bio/Historical Note: The building of the Linear Accelerator (Linac) was not a random event but rather the result of a series of developments on campus. The Department of Physics had over the previous decades built a reputation for experimentation and innovation. The post-war period saw the University of Saskatchewan in the forefront of nuclear physics in Canada. In 1948, Canada’s first betatron (and the world’s first used in the treatment of cancer) was installed on campus. It was used for research programs in nuclear physics, radiation chemistry, cancer therapy and radiation biology. Next the world’s first non-commercial cobalt-60 therapy unit for the treatment of cancer was officially opened in 1951. With this unit research was undertaken in the areas of radiological physics, radiation chemistry and the effects of high energy radiation on plants and animals. When the construction of the Linear Accelerator was announced in the fall of 1961, it was portrayed as the next logical step on the University’s research path. Varian Associates, Palo Alto, California, designed and built the accelerator with Poole Construction of Saskatoon employed as the general contractor. The 80 foot electron accelerator tube was to create energy six times that of the betatron. The cost of the $1,750,000 facility was split between the National Research Council and the University of Saskatchewan with the NRC meeting the cost of the equipment and the University assuming the costs of the building. The official opening in early November of 1964 was more than just a few speeches and the cutting of a ribbon. It was a physics-fest, with 75 visiting scientist from around the world in attendance presenting papers and giving lectures over the period of several days. Three eminent physicists were granted honorary degrees at the fall convocation and hundreds of people showed up for the public open house. For three decades the Linac has served the campus research community and will continue to do so as it has become incorporated into the Canadian Light Source synchrotron.

Mark Jordon, CP Fellowship recipient, is seated at a table in his lab. Mr. Jordon's research through the Western Canadian Agricultural Research Program involved the use of biotechnology to improve flax resistant to GLEAN (used by farmers to control broadleaf weeds in wheat), and higher tolerance to frost and salt.
