Bio/Historical Note: Though the first recorded withdrawal from the University Library occurred in October 1909, nearly five decades passed before the Library had its own building. The early collection was housed either on the second floor of the College Building (later known as the Administration Building) or was scattered among a number of small departmental libraries. Plans for a new library building in the late 1920s were ended by the start of the Great Depression; but a dramatically reduced acquisitions budget was offset by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation in 1933. In 1943 the University hired its first professional Librarian. A combination of provincial grants and University fundraising financed the construction of the Murray Memorial Library. The library was named after the University’s first President, Walter C. Murray. Designed by noted Regina architect Kioshi Izumi working under H.K. Black, Architect, it marked a change in campus architecture away from the more angular and elaborate Collegiate Gothic style to that of the less expensive cube. Building materials included granite at the entrance and Tyndall stone as a wall cladding and window trim. In addition to the library, the building housed the College of Law, an office of the Provincial Archives and a 105-seat lecture theatre equipped with the latest in audiovisual teaching aids. The most dramatic transformation took place between 1970 and 1976 when a six floor south wing was added along with an extensive renovation of the 1956 structure. Designed by BLM, Regina, the south wing was unlike any other building on campus. Clad in Tyndall stone panels made to look like concrete (through a "bush hammered" finish), the grey almost windowless building is industrial and utilitarian in appearance. The University's master plan required buildings in the core of campus to be clad in stone. However, the "bush hammered" finish was used since the Library addition was built during a period that saw the flowering of "Brutalist" Architecture, so called because of the wide use of exposed concrete. The new (south) wing, originally called the Main Library, was officially opened on 17 May 1974, and also became the home of the Department of Art and Art History, the College of Graduate Studies and the University Archives.

Dr. Isabelle Mills - In Office

Dr. Isabelle Mills, professor of Music, looks over a sheet of music with a student in her office.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Isabelle Margaret Mills was born on 3 September 1923 on the farm at Fleming, Saskatchewan. On her second birthday she was stricken with a severe case of paralytic polio leaving her with the typical polio mobility disability. This gave her an understanding of people with disabilities. Dr. Mills held the ARCT (Toronto); BA (Manitoba); and MA, Professional Diploma, and EdD degrees from Columbia University, New York, where she was the recipient of the Frank Ross Chambers Fellowship. Dr. Mills was a member of the music and education faculties at Brandon College, (now University) before returning to her native province for her appointment as professor of Music with the University of Saskatchewan. While serving as assistant dean of Student Affairs (1979-1984) in the College of Arts and Science, Dr. Mills pioneered the work on campus for students with disabilities. When she completed her term as assistant dean the university created a permanent full-time position and a new department to continue and build on her work. Dr. Mills was named Professor Emeritus upon retirement in 1991. An exponent of the value of Canadian music, Dr. Mills published articles on various aspects of the subject in the Encyclopedia of Music in Canada and the Canadian Encyclopedia. She used her research on the topic for the basis of her doctoral dissertation titled “Canadian Music: A Listening Program for Intermediate Grades With Teaching Guide”. There are also articles published in many journals. She traveled widely in Canada, Britain and Ukraine, sharing her knowledge of Canada’s music. Among many honours were the University Retirees Association Prime of Life Award; the naming of the Brandon University School of Music ensemble, the Isabelle Mills Ensemble; the 2012 Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal; the Knox United Church 2017 Stewardship award, the Brandon University 2017 Member of The Order of The Sheaf, the 2018 Kids of Note, and the Notations Honorary Patron Award. Dr. Mills died on 10 August 2021 in Saskatoon at age 98. The Dr. Isabelle Mills Bursary is awarded annually to students with mobility disabilities who are pursuing studies in any direct-entry undergraduate degree program in any college at the U of S and who have graduated from a Saskatchewan high school.
