Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Hope H. Hunt attended public and high school in Calgary. She earned a BAHSc from the University of Toronto, an MSc from Columbia University and a PhD from the University of Minnesota, where she held a faculty position. In 1940 she accepted an appointment as head of the School of Household Science at the University of Saskatchewan. In 1941, when the school became a college, Dr. Hunt became the first dean of a College of Household Science in Canada. Her research involved the evaluation of cooking qualities of fruits and was conducted in conjunction with the Horticulture Department. Dr. Hunt was responsible for securing additional faculty members and introducing many important changes to the Home Economics curriculum, including new classes in Child Development, Family Relations, Community Nutrition, Household and Institution Management, Diet Therapy, and History and Development of Home Economics. She was instrumental in changing the name to the College of Home Economics. She laid the groundwork for curricular revisions to establish a general course to meet the needs of teachers and five majors: Dietetics and Nutrition, Housing and Design, Food Science, Clothing and Textiles and Home Management. Dr. Hunt convened a committee to plan a new home for Home Economics in the addition to the Chemistry Building. Dr. Hunt retired in 1972 and was named Dean Emerita. The Hope Hunt Scholarship was established in her honour by alumna and friends. It is awarded annually to a graduate of Home Economics, Nutrition and Dietetics, Family Studies or Consumer Studies who is pursing graduate studies at the University. Dr. Hunt died in Saskatoon in 1995 at age 97.

Bio/Historical Note: From 1914 to 1922 a Better Farming Train (BFT) toured the province providing lectures and demonstrations and presenting exhibits on matters pertaining to agriculture. Funded by the Agricultural Instruction Act, equipped jointly by the Department of Agriculture and the College of Agriculture, and staffed by the University of Saskatchewan, the BFTs were operated free of charge by the railways. Consisting of between 14 to 17 cars they toured the province for several weeks each summer. During part of one summer two trains operated. The train was divided into five sections: Livestock; Field Husbandry; Boys and Girls; Household Science; Poultry; and Farm Mechanics. A converted flat car acted as a platform for the display and demonstration of the "well-selected" horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry. Each section usually contained a lecture car accompanied by one or more demonstration cars.
