Emmett Hall Night

A banquet was held in Marquis Hall to recognize the achievements of Emmett M. Hall, University Chancellor. Guests at head table (l to r): Dr. Leo F. Kristjanson, University President; Monique Begin, Federal Health Minister; and Chancellor Hall. A banner reading "University of Saskatchewan - 1909-1984 - 75th Anniversary" partially visible in background.

Bio/Historical Note: Emmett Matthew Hall was born 29 November 1898 in Saint-Colomban, Quebec. At age 12 in 1910, his family moved to Saskatoon to take over a dairy farm. Hall was in the audience on 29 July 1910, when Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier laid the cornerstone for the University of Saskatchewan. Hall studied law at the College of Law at the University of Saskatchewan, putting himself through by teaching French in local schools. One of his classmates was John Diefenbaker, future Prime Minister of Canada. He received his LLB from the U of S in 1919. Hall was called to the bar in 1922 and spent the next 35 years in private practice. He became a leading litigator in the Saskatchewan bar. Hall earned a reputation as a civil libertarian after serving as co-counsel in defending 24 unemployed on-to-Ottawa trekkers who were charged in the 1935 Regina Riot. In 1935 Hall was appointed King’s Counsel. He was elected a bencher of the Law Society of Saskatchewan, becoming president of the Law Society in 1952. He also taught law at the College of Law at the U of S. Appointed by John Diefenbaker in 1961 to chair a royal commission on Canada’s health care system, Hall issued a report in 1964 that went beyond Saskatchewan’s pioneering medicare legislation and recommended wider benefits, such as free prescription drugs for seniors and dental care for school children and people on social assistance. He is considered one of the fathers of the Canadian system of Medicare, along with his fellow Saskatchewanian, Tommy Douglas. Lester Pearson’s government adopted many of Hall’s recommendations and implemented a national health plan in 1968 that was cost-shared with provinces. Named to the Supreme Court in 1962, Hall’s lasting judicial legacy is in the area of Aboriginal law. Particularly noteworthy is his strong dissent in R v Calder, regarding Nisga’a title to territory. His view that Aboriginal title existed through centuries of occupation and could be extinguished only through surrender or by competent legislative authority is credited with influencing modern land claims settlements across Canada. Hall was awarded an honourary Doctor of Civil Laws degree by the U of S in 1962. Hall served as chancellor of two different universities: the University of Guelph (1971-1977) and the University of Saskatchewan (1979-1986). By a quirk of fate, he followed two former leaders of the federal Progressive Conservative party in the two positions. His predecessor as chancellor of Guelph was George Drew, who led the party from 1948 to 1956. At Saskatchewan, Hall succeeded his old law school chum, John Diefenbaker, who died in 1979. On his retirement from the Supreme Court in 1974, Hall was made a Companion of the Order of Canada, "for a lifetime of service to the law and for his contributions to the improvement of health services and education." Emmett Hall died 12 November 1995 in Saskatoon at age 96.

Dr. Madan M. Gupta and Dr. Joseph M. Chudobiak

From back of photo: "M.M. Gupta (right) and J.M. Chudobiak of the Systems and Adaptive Control Research Group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering have developed computer techniques for predicting when failures are about to occur in rotating machines."

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Madan M. Gupta was born on 10 April 1936 in Lansdowne, India. He received his BE (Hons.) and ME degrees in electronics-communications engineering from the Birla Engineering College (now the Birla Institute of Technology and Science), Pilani, India, in 1961 and 1962, respectively. He was awarded the university's gold medal for being the top graduate. Shortly thereafter Dr. Gupta was awarded a prestigious Commonwealth Scholarship to continue his education in the United Kingdom. As a commonwealth scholar, he received his PhD with a specialization in adaptive control systems from the University of Warwick in 1967. Then Dr. Gupta was recruited to be an engineering professor at the University of Saskatchewan starting in November 1967. Over the next 54 years Dr. Gupta was a prolific full-time researcher. In 1998, for his extensive contributions in neuro-control, neuro-vision, and fuzzy-neural systems, Dr. Gupta was awarded an earned DSc by the U of S. In 2010, he was one of only four professors who were honoured with newly created appointments as distinguished research chairs (now distinguished professors). Dr. Gupta won a University of Saskatchewan Prime of Life Achievement Award and the NSERC Outstanding Merit Award. Dr. Gupta's full-time research at the U of S started in November 1967, and he continued doing full-time research as director of the Intelligent Systems Research Laboratory until being hospitalized on 5 October 2021. Dr. Gupta died 8 November 2021 in Saskatoon.
