Bio/Historical Note: In 1910 the Saskatchewan Department of Agriculture turned over to the University the responsibility for the development and delivery of agricultural and women's extension programs throughout the Province. To fulfill this mandate, the Department of Agricultural Extension (1910) and Women's Work (1913) were established within the College of Agriculture. Initially the activities of Agricultural Extension focused on services to the Agricultural Societies--short courses, institutes (meetings and conferences), plowing matches, field crop contests, stock judging, etc. Starting during the war years, a Better Farming Train toured the province providing lectures and demonstrations and presenting exhibits on matters pertaining to agriculture. In 1915 "educational holidays" or camps were initiated for farm boys and girls and in 1918 4-H clubs were formed throughout Saskatchewan. Farm and Home Week, a period of exhibits, lectures, and demonstrations at the University, was introduced in the early 1930s. Special projects and programmes for rural women were offered through Homemakers Clubs, established in 1911. In addition to basic domestic activities, women received advice and instruction in fruit growing, tree planting, home nursing, water supply and purity, libraries, health and welfare services, etc. Adult Education services, begun in 1938 in response to forces for social reconstruction, consisted in part of groups formed to discuss planning, economics, cooperatives, government institutions and policies, international affairs, trade unions, etc. This was a logical expansion of the variety of information (bulletins, leaflets), informal (lectures, demonstrations), public (testing, analyses), professional (training), and cultural (drama, music) services, as well as a variety of services to governments at all levels. In 1949 the work of Agricultural Extension and Women's Work were combined in the Department of Extension. It remained a department in the College of Agriculture until 1963 when administrative responsibility was transferred to the Office of the President and renamed the Extension Division. Since the 1970s non-degree programs were offered in the areas of agriculture and horticulture, women, business, languages, indigenous people, community development, liberal studies, arts, seniors, science and technology, career development, and adult education. The name changed again in 1979 to Division of Extension and Community Relations. It was changed back to Extension Division in 1990. The Extension Department was disestablished on 1 July 2007, and replaced with three new departments.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Louis Barker Jaques was born 10 July 1911 in Toronto. He attended the University of Toronto and earned three degrees there: a BA in physiology and biochemistry (1933); an MA (1935) and a PhD (under the supervision of Dr. Charles H. Best, 1941). In 1974 Dr. Jaques also earned a DSc from the University of Saskatchewan. From 1934-1944 he held academic positions at the University of Toronto as a Fellow, research assistant, and lecturer. In 1946 he moved to the University of Saskatchewan with an appointment as professor and head of Physiology. He resigned the headship in 1971, accepting a position as the first W.S. Lindsay Professor in the College of Medicine. A scientist of international reputation, Dr. Jaques was among the first to demonstrate the usefulness of heparin in treating thrombosis; to demonstrate the effectiveness of dicumarol in thrombosis; and he originated the use of silicone in handling blood. In 1974 Dr. Jaques also earned a DSc from the U of S. Upon his retirement in 1979 he was named Professor Emeritus; and in 1981 he was named a lay canon by the Anglican diocese of Saskatoon. Dr. Jaques died in 1997 at age 85.

John G. Diefenbaker, University Chancellor, makes presentation of a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Medicine degree to Edith Bernardine Murray during Convocation held at Centennial Auditorium.

Bio/Historical Note: Edith Bernardine Murray was born 3 November 1933 in Edinburgh, Scotland, and after a childhood of sports and academics, trained as a physiotherapist. She worked originally at Stoke-Mandeville Rehabilitation Centre, an International Spinal Cord Rehab Centre and saw the U.S. She acquired a Bachelor’s degree at the University of Manitoba, then an MA at the University of Saskatchewan. She devoted a gait research lab at the U of S; her work led to a teaching position as assistant professor at the U of S. She then joined the teaching staff in the program of Health Sciences in Hamilton, Ontario which culminated in a position of associate professor (tenured) at McMaster University. She moved from the academic world to the country and took on sheep farming and gardening, while being the director of Physiotherapy at Enderby Hospital. She took up the challenge of starting things: The lab in Saskatchewan, the Research Section at the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, one of the first physiotherapists in Canada to get an MA, and the sheep farm in Enderby. Edith Murray died 6 January 2017 in [Vernon, British Columbia].

Bio/Historical Note: Byron James Seaman was born in 1923 at Rouleau, Saskatchewan. He attended the University of Saskatchewan and earned a BSc in mechanical engineering in 1945. Seaman moved to Alberta shortly after graduating to work in the oil industry with his two brothers, Donald and Daryl Seaman (both brothers were future honourary Doctor of Laws degree recipients by the U of S). They first established Seaman Engineering and Drilling Co. Ltd. (shortened to Sedco). It became noted for providing the option of turnkey contracts at a fixed price, rather than bidding a price for every foot drilled. The company also covered a portion of the drilling costs to secure the contract, as well as for services like cementing and casing. Sedco ultimately merged with three other companies in June 1962 to form Bow Valley Industries. Seaman went on to serve as CEO of Bow Valley (later Bovar, Inc) from 1976 to 1987, and as chairman from 1987 to 1990. Seaman was one of the original six owners of the Calgary Flames, along with his brother Daryl and four others. Under his co-ownership, the franchise won their only Stanley Cup in 1989. They reached two other Stanley Cup finals. Seaman remained a part-owner of the Flames until 2010, one year after his brother Daryl died. Along with his brother, Seaman was inducted into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame in 2007. He was also awarded the Governor General's medal. Byron Seaman died on 24 April 2021 in Calgary at age 97.
