Bio/Historical Note: Senior-most CUPE 1975 member retires after 42 years at U of S
When Elsie York signed on with the Department of Medicine on August 15, 1955, the University Hospital wasn't even fully occupied. Since then, there have been different department heads, changing personnel, and the hospital has been expanded and its name modified. York has been there all the while, with her initial secretarial duties having changed, in 1980, to embrace more administrative matters under Dr. Marvin Bala. Earlier this year she decided, as the CUPE 1975 member with the highest seniority, to opt for the University's retirement incentive plan and call it a career. She says she plans to stay in Saskatoon, where she'll be able to spend more time with her husband Art, who has been in retirement for eight years.

He then studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, the University of Chicago, in Paris at the Academie Julian and the Academie Montmartre of Fernand Leger. Bornstein joined the faculty of the University of Saskatchewan in 1950. Bornstein has an extensive record of juried exhibitions, and commissioned works. His construction for the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation building in 1956 was the first public abstract sculpture in Saskatchewan (if not western Canada).

He is represented in numerous public and private collections, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Canada Council Art Bank, and the Saskatchewan Arts Board.

In 1960 Bornstein published the first edition of The Stucturist, an international art journal currently distributed in over 35 countries. The Structurist is multi-disciplinary: in recalling the first issue, one reviewer was "frankly amazed at the ambitious courage of the magazine, the quality of its design, and the embracing intelligence of the contents." Bornstein has served as editor since its inception. Upon his retirement from the U of S in 1990, Bornstein was awarded an honourary Doctor of Letters (DLitt) degree. He was awarded the Saskatchewan Order of Merit in 2008, and was inducted into the Order of Canada in 2019.
