Head and shoulders image of Dr. John King, professor of Biology.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. John King began studying at King's College, Newcastle in Durham University (UK) in 1957 and was awarded a BSc Honours (First Class) in Botany in 1960. After earning his PhD in plant physiology at the University of Manitoba, Dr. King joined the faculty of the University of Saskatchewan as an assistant professor of Biology in 1967. There for more than 35 years, Dr. King was named Professor Emeritus upon his retirement in 2003. Dr. King researched a variety of plant cell phenomena, including "membrane transport, somatic cell hybridization, cell genetic transformation and, most notably in the long term, biochemical mutant isolation." He was a pioneer in the exploration of the genetic basis of physiological and metabolic processes using biochemical mutants of plant cells and of whole plants. Dr. King’s work has received international recognition and has included research to develop techniques of gene transfer for use in economically important plants, the study of the effect of specific herbicides on plant amino acid metabolism, and the isolation of mutant herbicide-tolerant plants. In addition to his research Dr. King served as the Group Chair for Life Sciences within the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), as president of the Canadian Society of Plant Physiologists (CSPP) for 1983-1984, and as associate editor of the Canadian Journal of Botany. He wrote two books The Genetic Basis of Plant Physiological Processes (1991) and Reaching for the Sun (1997) and numerous articles. The Canadian Society of Plant Physiologists (CSPP) awarded Dr. King the society's 2001Gold Medal in recognition of his contributions to the field of plant physiology. Dr. King is Professor Emeritus of Biology (2021).

Architectural sketch of the Nobel Plaza at the entrance of the College Building.

Bio/Historical Note: The Nobel Plaza honouring the two Nobel laureates with University of Saskatchewan connections was officially opened on 24 October 1997. The $200,000 Plaza was sponsored by the Meewasin Authority and Meewasin Foundation and presented as a gift to recognize the university’s 90th birthday. Two bronze plaques honour Henry Taube (BSc. 1935, MSc. 1937), who was a Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry in 1983 when affiliated with Stanford University, and Gerhard Herzberg, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1971. He had an illustrious career with the National Research Council, Ottawa. The Plaza is attached to the main exit from the building and the Bowl and consists of a pedestrian concourse with a stone clad speaker’s podium faced with the two bronze plaques.

Head and shoulders image of Lyle Sanderson, Huskie men's and women's track coach.

Bio/Historical Note: Lyle Kingman Sanderson (1938-2018), a native of Piapot and a graduate of Luther College in Regina, enrolled at the University of Saskatchewan in 1960. Lyle competed in both cross country and track & field. In 1965, he was appointed head coach of the track & field program and joined the faculty of the College of Physical Education. In his years with the team, the Huskies won 33 Canada West titles and 10 CIAU championships - 1968 cross country, men's track & field in 1970, 1971, 1987 and 2002 and women's track & field in 1985, 1986, 2000, 2001 and 2003. Sanderson coached Olympians Diane Jones Konihowski and Joanne McTaggart, as well as developing a number of other international-calibre athletes, including John Konihowski, Janet Scott and Louis Christ. He won the Colb McEown Trophy as the University's coach of the year 10 times, was Canadian Track & Field Association coach of the year in 1977 and 1979, and Saskatoon Kinsmen of the Year in 1992. In 2006 he received the Austin Matthews Award for lifetime achievement in Canadian university sport, and in 2011 won the Geoff Gowan Award for coaching excellence. Sanderson was inducted into the Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame in 1992. He was on the Canadian team for the Olympic Games, FISU Games, world track & field championships, Commonwealth Games and Pan-American Games. One of Lyle's greatest contributions to track & field was the annual Sled Dog Indoor Meet, featuring athletes in elementary school, age class, university and open competition.
