Geology Building - Construction
Foundation being laid for the Geology Building. Excavation equipment in foreground, with crane in background. Buildings in background from l to r: Arts Tower, Chemistry (Thorvaldson) Building and Physics Building at far right.
Bio/Historical Note: The construction of the Geology Building marked a return to the early style of campus architecture. The Department of Geology had been formed in 1927 and for the next six decades was based in the east wing of the Engineering Building. A growing faculty and student population had forced the department to cobble together makeshift accommodation in trailers and remote campus buildings. Designed by the architectural firm Black, McMillan and Larson of Regina, the building was given a neo-Collegiate Gothic exterior to blend harmoniously with the other buildings in the central campus. The two-and-a-half-storey building was erected just south or the Bowl side of the W.P. Thompson Biology Building, providing 8,543 square metres for office, laboratory, library, classroom, and storage space for rock and fossil samples. The exterior was clad with greystone and dressed with tyndal limestone. The dominant feature of the interior was a two-story atrium that featured the mosaics for the former exterior walls of the Thompson Building, a life-size skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus rex and geological and biological displays. The $18.5 million Geology Building was completed in 1988 and fused the space between Physics and Biology and linked, through a walkway, with Chemistry, creating an integrated science complex on campus.

Dr. Thorbergur Thorvaldson - In Lab
Dr. Thorbergur Thorvaldson, head of Chemistry, examining concrete samples in Cement Testing Lab in the Chemistry Building.
Note on back: "Dr. R.L. Eager, Chemistry Professor, inserts a reactor containing aspen poplar, water, carbon monoxide and a catalyst into a holder, which in turn will be placed in a heavy walled stainless steel vessel for heating. The vessel is located behind steel walls in view of the high pressure generated". In Thorvaldson lab.
Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Richard Livingston (Dick) Eager was born 27 August 1917 in Kenaston, Saskatchewan. He earned a BE (1943) and an MSc (1945) from the University of Saskatchewan. In 1949 he received a PhD from McGill University. Dr. Eager was appointed special lecturer at the U of S in 1947 and was a full professor by 1965. He retired in 1984 and was named professor emeritus. Dr. Eager died in Saskatoon in 2003.

Dr. John Postlethwaite - In Lab
Note on back of photograph: "Dr. John Postlethwaite, Associate Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, uses electro-chemical apparatus to measure corrosion rates in a section of iron pipe carrying potash in water. The pipe under study is in a flow loop which also contains transparent sections so that interior conditions can be observed." In Thorvaldson lab.
Bio/Historical Note: Dr. John Postlethwaite was on the faculty of Chemical Engineering from 1975-1983.
