Bio/Historical Note: Mel Hosain graduated from the University of Dacca (Dhaka, now in Bangladesh) in 1960 with a B.Sc. (Civil Engineering) and was awarded a Ph.D. (Structural Engineering) from Dalhousie University in 1969. He enjoyed a long career as a professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan. Hosain’s main areas of teaching and research were in structural engineering with emphasis on steel structures and composite floor systems. His research contributed to the updating of the CSA code for structural steel. He was instrumental in establishing the Saskatoon section of the CSCE and served the Society in various ways, including as its President in 1998. His contributions to the engineering profession and to the community have been recognized with many honours and accolades including a Master Teacher Award from the U of S in 1999-2000.

Head and shoulders image of F. Hedley Auld, Director of Extension.

Bio/Historical Note: Francis Hedley Auld was born in 1881 in Prince Edward Island and attended Prince of Wales College at Charlottetown. Upon graduation in 1899, he taught public school briefly. In 1902 Auld moved to western Canada, intending to settle in Edmonton, Alberta. He visited his brother who taught in Abernethy, Saskatchewan, and met the Honourable William R. Motherwell. A general store job did not last long, as Motherwell secured employment for him in the provincial government's Dairy Branch. Auld was the first director of Extension at the University of Saskatchewan (1910–1912). On 31 January 1911 Auld met with 42 women in Regina, and the Saskatchewan Homemakers clubs were initiated. These clubs provided networking on homemaking, temperance issues, gardening, health, and poultry raising. Auld returned to the province's civil service in 1914, rejoining the Provincial Department of Agriculture. In 1916 Auld became Deputy Minister of Agriculture, serving until 1946. He was elected to the University of Saskatchewan Senate in 1944. He became the fifth Chancellor of the University of Saskatchewan from 1947-1965. From 1950-1951 Auld was Grand Lodge of Saskatchewan, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons Past Grand Masters. Auld was also a member of the Board of Governors of St. Andrew's College. In 1936 an honourary Doctor of Laws degree was awarded to Auld by the U of S. The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE), was awarded to Auld in 1946. Auld died on 15 February 1967 at age 95. In 1973 he was inducted posthumously into the Saskatchewan Agriculture Hall of Fame.

Head and shoulders image of Dr. John King, professor of Biology.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. John King began studying at King's College, Newcastle in Durham University (UK) in 1957 and was awarded a BSc Honours (First Class) in Botany in 1960. After earning his PhD in plant physiology at the University of Manitoba, Dr. King joined the faculty of the University of Saskatchewan as an assistant professor of Biology in 1967. There for more than 35 years, Dr. King was named Professor Emeritus upon his retirement in 2003. Dr. King researched a variety of plant cell phenomena, including "membrane transport, somatic cell hybridization, cell genetic transformation and, most notably in the long term, biochemical mutant isolation." He was a pioneer in the exploration of the genetic basis of physiological and metabolic processes using biochemical mutants of plant cells and of whole plants. Dr. King’s work has received international recognition and has included research to develop techniques of gene transfer for use in economically important plants, the study of the effect of specific herbicides on plant amino acid metabolism, and the isolation of mutant herbicide-tolerant plants. In addition to his research Dr. King served as the Group Chair for Life Sciences within the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), as president of the Canadian Society of Plant Physiologists (CSPP) for 1983-1984, and as associate editor of the Canadian Journal of Botany. He wrote two books The Genetic Basis of Plant Physiological Processes (1991) and Reaching for the Sun (1997) and numerous articles. The Canadian Society of Plant Physiologists (CSPP) awarded Dr. King the society's 2001Gold Medal in recognition of his contributions to the field of plant physiology. Dr. King is Professor Emeritus of Biology (2021).
