Bio/Historical Note: Elwood Wohlberg, a University of Saskatchewan graduate student from Speers and Aberdeen area, sets up a rock analysis experiment at the Saskatchewan Research Council on the University of Saskatchewan campus. Powered rock was subjected to x-rays and the results were interpreted on a machine. The amounts of mineral in each sample could be determined. The Saskatchewan Research Council and the University's Department of Geological Sciences co-operated in the project and soon more graduates became involved. R.G. Arnold was head of the Department at this time.

Dr. Cecil F. Patterson, head, Department of Horticulture, holding a potato and standing near many pots which contain dirt and potatoes.

Bio/Historical Note: Born in 1892 at Watford, Ontario, Dr. Cecil Frederick Patterson graduated from the Ontario Agricultural College with a BSc in Agriculture. He then took his MA and PhD at Urbana, Illinois. He came to the University of Saskatchewan in 1921 as a lecturer in horticulture. In the following year, a Department of Horticulture was organized, and plans laid for a program of fruit variety testing and fruit breeding. In his thirty-nine years as head of the Department of Horticulture, Dr. Patterson was responsible for the introduction of more than thirty new varieties of hardy fruits, including apples, pears, plums, cherries, raspberries and strawberries. He was also responsible for an improved potato variety, well adapted to prairie growing conditions. In the realm of floriculture, his name became synonymous with a collection of lily varieties in pink, white, rose and other colours - the result of twenty years of patient crossing and selection. Other flower introductions included geraniums and gladioli. Dr. Patterson was a charter member of the Agricultural Institute of Canada, a Fellow of the American Society for the Advancement of Science, a charter member of the Western Canadian Society for Horticulture, and an honorary life member of the Saskatchewan Horticultural Societies Association. Cecil Patterson died in 1961. He was posthumously inducted into the Saskatchewan Agriculture Hall of Fame in 1973. The Patterson Garden, an arboretum on campus, was named in his honour in 1969.

Bio/Historical Note: The University of Saskatchewan’s first pool opened in 1916. Located in the basement of Qu'Appelle Hall, it was 18 feet wide, 45 feet long and around 8 feet deep with a spring board and changing rooms. Speed swimming, diving, water polo and recreational swimming soon became popular activities in the long Saskatchewan winters. The pool closed soon after the Physical Education pool opened in October 1964.

Team members at poolside (l to r): Helen Preston, E. Yule, Ethel Mary Cartwright (coach), M. Jonsson, D. Preston.

Bio/Historical Note: Green and white were established as the official colours of U of S sports teams in 1909-1910 by Reginald Bateman, a native of Ireland and the first English professor at the University of Saskatchewan. But the Huskies name did not appear at that time. Teams were generally referred to as “varsity” or “the green and white” when they played or appeared in media. The name Huskies was included in an article in the 20 September 1932 Star-Phoenix: “The Varsity Stadium yesterday morning saw the advance guard of over twenty gridiron Huskies swing into action.” The origin of the Huskie name is unclear. One of the earliest images of players wearing sweaters with ‘Huskies’ on across the front was in the 1932-1933 Greystone yearbook, showing the men’s hockey team in uniforms with the new name. By 1937 women’s teams were generally referred to as Huskiettes.
