Bio/Historical Note: Peter T. Millard was born in 1932 in Treorchy, Wales, and first came to Canada in 1955 to attend McGill University. He received a BA from McGill in 1959, and continued his education at Wadham College, Oxford, from which he received a BA and a PhD. Millard joined the University of Saskatchewan in 1961 as an Instructor in English; he eventually became head of the department. His subsequent academic career was distinguished. Besides authoring numerous books and articles, he served as the University’s don of residence, as chair of the English Department and as chair of the Faculty Association.He also served a one-year term as head of the Faculty Association. In 1973 he joined Saskatoon’s burgeoning gay liberation movement and quickly became an organizer and spokesperson in most of the province’s early battles to advance equal rights for gays and lesbians. He held leadership roles in the Gay Community Centre of Saskatoon, the Committee to Defend Doug Wilson, and the Coalition for Human Equality. On campus he organized a Gay Academic Union in 1975 and became the mentor/protector of two generations of lesbian and gay students. In 1991 he taught the University’s first gay studies course, an examination of social attitudes towards homosexuality in literature. In 1994 the University established the Peter Millard scholarship, Canada’s first university-administered scholarship for research in gay and lesbian studies. After his academic retirement in 1992, one of Millard’s chief pursuits was the writing of a personal memoir with the working title Or Words to That Effect. After his death the completed manuscript was added to the Peter Millard fonds at the University of Saskatchewan Archives. The memoir covers many aspects of Millard’s rich and wide-ranging life, including his student and academic careers and his dedication to the visual arts in both England and Saskatoon. He writes at length of his emotional life as a gay man and of his many experiences in gay activism. He retired from the U of S in December 1991. Peter Millard died 8 December 2001 after a short battle with a rare form of leukemia.

Head and shoulders image of Donald S. Rawson, professor and head, Department of Biology.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Donald Strathearn Rawson was born 19 May 1905 in Claremont, Ontario. He enrolled at the University of Toronto in 1922 and earned BA, MA, and PhD degrees by 1929. Dr. Rawson demonstrated outstanding ability as a student and was awarded a doctorate at age 24; his doctoral thesis investigated the bottom fauna of Lake Simcoe. He was a champion wrestler at the U of T. Dr. Rawson joined the Biology Department of the University of Saskatchewan as assistant professor of Zoology in 1928 and became head of the department in 1949. His research in limnology covered two distinct periods. From 1928 to 1934 Dr. Rawson concentrated on lakes of the newly established Prince Albert National Park. This work involved physico-chemical, biological, and fisheries studies, and included specific experiments in fisheries management. Dr. Rawson married Dr. Hildred Patton in 1932. From 1935 to 1941 he carried out extensive research in the National Parks of the Canadian Rockies and in Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba. The primary aim of these investigations was the collection of limnological information as applied to fisheries management. In the late 1930s Dr. Rawson surveyed saline lakes in southern Saskatchewan. In 1942 Dr. Rawson began work on Canada's large northern lakes (including Reindeer, Athabasca and Great Slave Lakes) that brought him international fame. After 1947 he devoted most of his attention to investigations of Lac La Ronge and Amisk Lake in the Churchill River drainage system. Subsequently, many other northern Saskatchewan lakes were studied. Dr. Rawson's death, on 16 February 1961, came at the apex of his scientific and teaching career. Rawson Crescent in the College Park neighbourhood honours him.
