Head and shoulders image of Dorothy Mary Riches, BA (Sask), 1929.

Bio/Historical Note: Excerpt from a thank you letter sent by Dorothy Riches and staff at the No. 8 General Hospital in England, addressed to University President W.P. Thompson: “May I in this way extend the students of the university our very sincere thanks for the generous gift you made our unit this summer. It is, I assure you, greatly appreciated and makes so much difference in the way we can take care of our patients…our Colonel Major James M. Campbell and myself are planning a few extra comforts for Christmas for our own boys of the unit. We hope to be able to furnish a new heating plate to one of the wards too-so you may see your generosity has helped in many ways as we are one of the busiest Canadian general hospitals over here and an entirely Saskatchewan unit, we do most heartedly appreciate your help and support.” From: The Pride of Saskatchewan: Dr. James M. Campbell (MED’31) - College of Medicine | University of Saskatchewan (usask.ca)
