Bio/Historical Note: Margaret H. Pattillo was born in Truro, Nova Scotia, on 27 June 1916. She received her teacher's certificate from the Nova Scotia Normal School, then enrolled in Acadia University, obtaining her B.Sc. (Home Economics) in 1938. Following her service with the RCAF Women's Division during World War II, Pattillo joined the University of Saskatchewan (1946) as Instructor in the Department of Women's Work. She earned her MSc. H.Ec. from Michigan State University in 1951 and was promoted to Assistant Professor (1951) and Associate Professor (1957). She held various positions, including serving as Executive Director of Saskatchewan Association of Homemakers' Clubs/Women's Institutes. In 1979 the Canadian Society of Extension presented Pattillo with an Honourary Life Membership in the Society for her distinguished service to Extension Education, and she was inducted into the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame on 12 August 1990. Pattillo retired from the University in 1981, and died on 12 October 1990 at the age of 74. She is buried in Robie Cemetery in Truro, Nova Scotia.

Dr. Charles W. Baugh - Portrait

Head and shoulders image of Dr. Charles W. Baugh, Professor of Medicine.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Charles William Baugh was born in 1927 in Guelph, Ontario. A 1953 graduate in Medicine from Queen's University, he interned at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Dr. Baugh subsequently practiced internal medicine in Saskatoon by 1959; he also was a professor of medicine at the University of Saskatchewan. He also practiced at Brockville, Orillia and Inverness (Ontario) before spending several years in Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates toward the end of his medical career. A former marathon runner, Dr. Baugh ran a full marathon in 1975 only 4 months after having open-heart surgery. He wrote a column during the 1970s for the Orillia Packet and Times called, 'Walking, Jogging and All That Jazz' and also initiated and led a cardiac rehabilitation exercise group in Orillia after his own heart surgery. In his columns and with his patients he espoused the running philosophy of 'Long Slow Distance.’ Dr. Baugh died in 2009 in Barrie, Ontario.

Betatron - Installation

Elevated view of the betatron being slid down wood ramps into the basement of the Physics Building.

Bio/Historical Note: In May 1948 Dr. Harold E. Johns, Dr. Newton Haslam, and Dr. Leon Katz, professors of Physics at the University of Saskatchewan, travelled to Milwaukee to inspect the betatron that had been built for the U of S. In August of that same year, the U of S installed in the Physics Annex the first betatron in Canada—the world’s first betatron used for a cancer treatment program. Dr. Johns then began the design and construction of one of the first cobalt-60 teletherapy units. Dr. Johns and his graduate students became the first researchers in the world to successfully treat a cancer patient using cobalt-60 radiation therapy. It was also used for research programs in nuclear physics, radiation chemistry, cancer therapy and radiation biology. In 1951 the world’s first calibrated Cobalt-60 cancer therapy unit was installed at University Hospital (G Wing). The calibration work was done by Dr. Sylvia Fedoruk through rigorous depth dose measurements. In early 1952, Maclean's magazine had dubbed the cobalt-source radiotherapy machine the cobalt bomb - a tongue-in-cheek tribute to this peaceful use of nuclear technology. Dr. Johns’ pioneering work in cobalt-60 teletherapy became the gold standard for radiation therapy for many years and thousands of units were installed worldwide, helping countless patients. The original treatment device was used in Saskatchewan until 1972. The work Dr. Johns and his team did on the physics of high energy photon beams was fundamental, and still forms the basis of most treatment planning systems in use today.
