Bio/Historical Note: Lesya Ukrainka (Larysa Kosach-Kvitka) (1871-1913), the celebrated Ukrainian poet, made her mark on Ukrainian and world literature through her diverse writing talents. Her profound knowledge of world history and languages enabled her to write extensively across genres on a variety of subjects. In her lyrical works and dramatic poems, she vividly developed the themes of patriotism, human dignity, and personal integrity. Ukrainka’s work is timeless in its powerful assertion of human rights and freedoms. In 1976, a bronze statue of Lesya Ukrainka, made in Kyiv, Ukraine (USSR) by sculptor Halyna Kal’chenko and architect Anatoliy Ihnashchenko, was unveiled at the University of Saskatchewan. Commissioned by the Association for Cultural Relations with Ukrainians Abroad, the statue was at the time seen by some merely as Soviet propaganda designed to rehabilitate their international reputation tarnished, in part, by injustices perpetrated against the people of Ukraine. The gift was initially declined by both the Province of Saskatchewan and the City of Saskatoon before being accepted by the University of Saskatchewan and installed on campus in a grove south of the Arts Tower. Through a generous donation by Dr. Victor O. Buyniak, as well as through the support of alumni and the wider Ukrainian community, the statue was refurbished and unveiled in its present location on 1 August 2013, the centenary of the death of Lesya Ukrainka.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Wolfgang Kurt Hermann Panofsky was born in 1919 in Berlin, Germany. He spent much of his early life in Hamburg, where his father was a professor of Art History. At age 15 he moved with his family to the United States and entered Princeton University. In 1938 Dr. Panofsky graduated with an AB In physics from Princeton after completing a senior thesis titled "The construction of a high pressure ionisation chamber", under the supervision of Walker Bleakney. He then received his PhD in physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1942. In April 1942 Dr. Panofsky was naturalized as a U.S. citizen. From 1945-1951 he held an assistant and then associate professorship at the University of California, Berkeley, before permanently establishing himself as Professor of Physics at Stanford University. Between 1961-1984 he was the director of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and continued to serve as director emeritus. Dr. Panofsky was also on the Board of Directors of the Arms Control Association from 1996 until 1999 and remained a director emeritus until his death. Dr. Panosky was awarded an earned Doctor of Science degree from the U of S in 1964. He was a recipient of the National Medal of Science, the Franklin Medal (1970), the Ernest O. Lawrence Medal, the Leo Szilard Award and the Enrico Fermi Award. Dr. Panofsky died in 2007 in Palo Alto, California, at age 88.
