Linear Accelerator Building - Exterior
View looking west at the Linear Accelerator Building.
Bio/Historical Note: The building of the Linear Accelerator (Linac) was not a random event but rather the result of a series of developments on campus. The Department of Physics had over the previous decades built a reputation for experimentation and innovation. The post-war period saw the University of Saskatchewan in the forefront of nuclear physics in Canada. In 1948, Canada’s first betatron (and the world’s first used in the treatment of cancer) was installed on campus. It was used for research programs in nuclear physics, radiation chemistry, cancer therapy and radiation biology. Next the world’s first non-commercial cobalt-60 therapy unit for the treatment of cancer was officially opened in 1951. With this unit research was undertaken in the areas of radiological physics, radiation chemistry and the effects of high energy radiation on plants and animals. When the construction of the Linear Accelerator was announced in the fall of 1961, it was portrayed as the next logical step on the University’s research path. Varian Associates, Palo Alto, California, designed and built the accelerator with Poole Construction of Saskatoon employed as the general contractor. The 80 foot electron accelerator tube was to create energy six times that of the betatron. The cost of the $1,750,000 facility was split between the National Research Council and the University of Saskatchewan with the NRC meeting the cost of the equipment and the University assuming the costs of the building. The official opening in early November of 1964 was more than just a few speeches and the cutting of a ribbon. It was a physics-fest, with 75 visiting scientist from around the world in attendance presenting papers and giving lectures over the period of several days. Three eminent physicists were granted honorary degrees at the fall convocation and hundreds of people showed up for the public open house. For three decades the Linac has served the campus research community and will continue to do so as it has become incorporated into the Canadian Light Source synchrotron.
Saskatchewan Flying Farmers' Association

Bio/Historical Note: In 1955 a group of thirty-two people met in Estevan, Saskatchewan to discuss the formation of a Saskatchewan chapter of the National Flying Farmers Association. On 2 November 1955, the National Flying Farmers Association issued a charter officially granting membership to the Saskatchewan association. The first annual meeting was held in Regina in 1956. The Saskatchewan Flying Farmers' Association was incorporated as a non-profit organization in Saskatchewan on 3 March 1977. The objectives of the Association are to promote the practical use of airplanes in the agricultural industry; to sponsor education and research on general aviation; to urge minimum regulations for general aviation; to encourage landing strips close to towns and cities; to develop public acceptance of light aircraft and to promote safe flying through education of pilots in the use of radio and other navigational aids. Executive members include a president; vice-president; secretary; treasurer and directors. Other officers include a public relations officer; newsletter editor and junior-teen advisor. The Queen is the official hostess of the Association. Monthly meetings and annual conventions are held and activities are planned to include members' spouses and children.
Museum of Antiquities - Official Opening
P.M. (Michael) Swan, Head, Department of Greek and Roman Studies, and Nicholas Gyenes, Professor Emeritus of Art, look at an exhibit at the official opening of the Museum of Antiquities. 'Hermes of Praxiteles' is in background.
Bio/Historical Note: The Museum of Antiquities is an archaeological museum at the University of Saskatchewan. It opened in 1974 to provide an opportunity to study ancient works. The Museum currently features a variety of Greek and Roman sculpture, and contains a collection of Near Eastern, Egyptian, Byzantine, Islamic and Medieval art. It is one of only a handful of museums of its kind in Canada. The project which became the “Museum of Antiquities” began in 1974. It was initiated by ancient history historian Michael Swan and art historian Nicholas Gyenes, both professors of the University of Saskatchewan. The collection began with a small group of replicas purchased from the Louvre, but grew to include replicas from other museums and workshops, as well as original artifacts. The collection grew through the generosity of the University and private benefactors until, in 1981, new facilities in the Murray Library were acquired, the collection was officially opened as the “Museum of Antiquities”, and Catherine Gunderson became the first curator and director of the museum. In 2005, the ever-expanding Museum moved to a larger space in the newly renovated College Building now known as the Peter MacKinnon Building. Tracene Harvey became director in 2009. The long-term aim of the Museum is to offer a reliable and critical account of the artistic accomplishments of major Western civilizations and epochs from approximately 3000 BC to 1500 CE. The first step in this endeavor was the presentation of a dependable picture of ancient Greco-Roman sculptural art, as it has heavily influenced much later Western art. The present collection focuses on items from the Middle Helladic (c. 1500 BCE) to the Late Antique (c. 500 CE) period and now has expanded to include pieces from the ancient Near East and ancient Egypt. The Museum's pieces mainly consist of plaster cast replicas, making the collection one of a few cast collections in Canada, and the only one in Saskatchewan. The replicas in the Museum are, in general, not crafted from the same material as the original. Most are casts of plaster or resin, not marble or bronze, for reasons of expense and weight. The replicas by large workshops—such as those at the Louvre, Paris, the British Museum, London, and the Gipsformerei der Staatlichen Museen, Berlin—are created from moulds taken directly from the original pieces. They therefore replicate exactly any damage borne by the original. After the plaster cast is unmoulded, it is painted and given a surface finish which matches the original. The collection has replicas of several famous pieces, such as the Rosetta Stone and the Venus de Milo. The collection features original sculpture such as the 17th century portrait of Hannibal. Other original pieces include a storage amphora, a false door and a substantial collection of ancient glass.
The Golumbia brothers [Arnold, Joe, Sam] pose with family members in an unidentified room in Qu'Appelle Hall, making a donation of furniture to Qu'Appelle Hall.
Bio/historical note: The Golumbia brothers [Arnold, Joe, Sam] all attended the University of Saskatchewan and were businesspersons in Saskatoon.
Note on back: "Several University areas were represented at the luncheon to honor Frieda and Reinhold Termuende, a sister and brother from Lanigan in recognition of the substantial gift of their 1900 acre farm some 75 miles east of Saskatoon. Frieda Termuende is fifth from the front on the right side. Reinhold Termuende, sporting a white carnation, is two places farther down on the same side".
Bio/Historical Note: The Johann and Johanne Sophie Termunde family established a farm near Lanigan in 1909, and it was the home for many years of the Four Square Herefords. When the last two siblings of the Termuende family remaining in Canada, Reinhold (1899-1963) and Frieda (b. 1895), retired from farming in 1964, the family farm was entrusted to the University of Saskatchewan for agricultural research. with stipulations that the wildlife habitat on the farm would be respected, and that the Termundes would remain in their home. The university managed the Termunde Research Farm until 1998 when the WBDC was established as a partnership between the university, province, and beef and forage producers to continue the research program at the farm. Since 2005 it has operated as a division of the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute. This year’s summer field day at the Western Beef Development Centre (WBDC) marked the end of an era at Termuende Research Ranch, but the Termuende family legacy that underpinned the development of a dedicated forage-beef research and outreach program will live on when the WBDC program moves to the new Livestock and Forage Centre of Excellence (LFCE) southeast of Saskatoon on 1 April 2018.
Bio/historical note: Frieda and Reinhold Termuende, a sister and brother from Lanigan, donated their 1900 acre farm some 75 miles of Saskatoon in 1975.
