Emmanuel College Residence - Exterior

View looking east at Emmanuel College Residence. Emmanuel College and St. Chad Chapel visible in background.

Bio/Historical Note: The Emmanuel College Residence, completed in 1963, was designed by Webster, Forrester and Scott to accommodate 85 students, the college president and a caretaker. Located just north of the original Emmanuel College building, plans called for the two buildings to be linked, this, however, was never completed. Renamed in 1975, McLean Hall was named in honour of Rt. Rev. John McLean, the first Anglican bishop of Saskatchewan and founder of Emmanuel College. It was leased initially by the Federation of Saskatchewan Indians and then purchased by the University of Saskatchewan in 1983. The building has been home to the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Native Studies, the Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program (SUNTEP) and the University Employees’ Union.

Bio/Historical Note: A medical college was part of President Walter Murray’s design for the new University of Saskatchewan, and was consistent with his view that the university should serve the needs of the province. In 1926 a School of Medical Sciences was established, which provided the first two years of medical training. Between 1928 and 1954, 605 students completed the course and then went elsewhere in Canada for the clinical years. In 1944, a survey of the health needs of the province (Sigerist Report) recommended that the School be expanded to a “complete Grade A Medical School” and that a University Hospital of 500 beds be constructed for scientific teaching, clinical instruction, and research. A medical building was completed in 1950, a four-year degree-granting College was inaugurated in 1953, and University Hospital opened in 1955. The College admits sixty medical students per year, supervises the training of 200 residents, and provides basic science training to 330 students in Arts/Science. The aim of the program is to produce a “basic” or undifferentiated doctor capable, with further training, of becoming a family practitioner, specialist or research scientist. Between 1953 and 2003, the College of Medicine has graduated 2,134 MDs, of whom 30.5% were women.
