Bio/Historical Note: From 1967 to 1972, plant ecologists at the University of Saskatchewan participated in the International Biological Program. As part of this worldwide study of agricultural productivity, ecologists established the Matador field station for grassland research carried out by scientists from thirty-four countries. The field station was located near Kyle, thirty miles north of Swift Current, in an area of natural grassland that was potentially the best wheat growing soil in the brown soil zone of Saskatchewan. The land (three square miles) was originally leased for 21 years from the Government of Saskatchewan; the lease (for $1/year) has since been renewed and currently expires in 2009. The Matador Project involved the study of the total grasslands ecosystem, including the interaction of animals, plants, microorganisms, soils and the atmosphere. Robert T. Coupland, Head of the Department of Plant Ecology, served as Director of the Matador Project.

Dr. Lucy D. Willis, Associate Professor of Nursing, gives address at Nurses' Graduation held in Physical Education gymnasium.

Bio/Historical Note: Lucy Dorothea Willis (1918-2018) was born and raised in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Her initial training at Toronto Western Hospital as a nurse stimulated a lifelong dedication to nursing education. After a post-RN Certificate in Teaching at UBC and six years of nursing and education work at Saskatoon's City Hospital, she joined the faculty of the School of Nursing at the University of Saskatchewan, where she remained until her retirement in 1984. In the 1950s she spent two scholarship years at Columbia University in New York City before earning a prestigious Ph.D. in Education at UC Berkeley in 1967. She was the first Saskatchewan nurse to obtain a doctorate, and only the second in all of Canada. In 1969 she became the School's third Director, and was largely responsible for its 1973 conversion to the College of Nursing and for the development of its post-RN education programs. She remained active in retirement, and in 1988 she published Fifty Years: Just the Beginning, a history of nursing education in Saskatchewan. Willis died at Saskatoon in 2018 at age 99.
