Head and shoulders image of Christina Cameron Murray dressed in an academic gown; taken perhaps at the time of graduation from Royal Victoria School of Nursing in Montreal.

Bio/Historical Note: Christina Cameron Murray, eldest daughter of the University of Saskatchewan's first President, Walter Charles Murray, and Christina Cameron Murray, was born in 1896 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She earned a BA from the University of Saskatchewan in 1917 and graduated from Montreal's Royal Victoria School of Nursing in 1924. In 1930 Christina returned to Canada to become an instructor at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. In 1934-1935 she completed a course in hospital administration and instruction from the Bedford College for Women at the University of London. Christina held a number of teaching positions during her career: University of Wisconsin (1925-1930); Ottawa Civic Hospital (1930-1934); and Royal Jubilee Hospital School of Nursing in Vancouver (1934-1938). Christina was active in district, state, and national nursing organizations in the United States and at the time of her death was chairman of the membership committee of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Nursing. Christina earned the rank of full professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Nursing where she worked from 1938 until her death in Madison in 1948 at age 51. The School of Nursing Alumnae designated a memorial reading room in the library in honour of Christina. ‘Murray House’ in Chadbourne Hall is also named after her.

Agriculture - Horses

Four Clydesdale mares hitched to a wagon, pulling 8300 pounds of Sweet Clover seed in bags. Engineering and Field Husbandry buildings in background.

Bio/Historical Note: By 1910, 19 horses had been purchased by the College of Agriculture that were good work horses or suitable for student class work. Two were purebred Clydesdales. Three light horses were also purchased. One named Barney was used in the morning to deliver milk to faculty in Nutana and in the afternoon on the buggy as Dean Rutherford made his farm rounds. In 1920 the Province asked the Animal Husbandry Department to establish a Clydesdale breeding stud. This led to development of an outstanding collection of prize winning horses that became a focus of the Department. In the 1920s the Percheron and Belgian breeders also demanded support for their breeds and so they were included in the university stud and some cross breeding was undertaken. The campus horses were used for field work for all Departments, general hauling and site work for new buildings. An unofficial use was for the Lady Godiva ride across campus each fall. By the 1940s it was clear that the era of horses as a main source of farm power was over. The final stallion used in the breeding program was the imported "Windlaw Proprietor," grand champion stallion at the 1946 Royal Winter Fair.
