Bio/Historical Note: Though the first recorded withdrawal from the University Library occurred in October 1909, nearly five decades passed before the Library had its own building. The early collection was housed either on the second floor of the College Building (later known as the Administration Building) or was scattered among a number of small departmental libraries. Plans for a new library building in the late 1920s were ended by the start of the Great Depression; but a dramatically reduced acquisitions budget was offset by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation in 1933. In 1943 the University hired its first professional Librarian. A combination of provincial grants and University fundraising financed the construction of the Murray Memorial Library. The library was named after the University’s first President, Walter C. Murray. Designed by noted Regina architect Kioshi Izumi working under H.K. Black, Architect, it marked a change in campus architecture away from the more angular and elaborate Collegiate Gothic style to that of the less expensive cube. Building materials included granite at the entrance and Tyndall stone as a wall cladding and window trim. In addition to the library, the building housed the College of Law, an office of the Provincial Archives and a 105-seat lecture theatre equipped with the latest in audiovisual teaching aids. The most dramatic transformation took place between 1970 and 1976 when a six floor south wing was added along with an extensive renovation of the 1956 structure. Designed by BLM, Regina, the south wing was unlike any other building on campus. Clad in Tyndall stone panels made to look like concrete (through a "bush hammered" finish), the grey almost windowless building is industrial and utilitarian in appearance. The University's master plan required buildings in the core of campus to be clad in stone. However, the "bush hammered" finish was used since the Library addition was built during a period that saw the flowering of "Brutalist" Architecture, so called because of the wide use of exposed concrete. The new (south) wing, originally called the Main Library, was officially opened on 17 May 1974, and also became the home of the Department of Art and Art History, the College of Graduate Studies and the University Archives.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Walker Stewart Lindsay came to the University of Saskatchewan in 1919. For the next three decades he would play a pivotal role in the education of the province’s future doctors. Born in Halifax in 1885, he received his medical training at the University of Edinburgh. He was invited by Walter C. Murray, University President, whom he had known as a child, to create the small Department of Bacteriology under the aegis of the College of Arts and Science. Dr. Lindsay’s laboratory, in one of the greenhouses, was the first medical teaching facility in what would become in the School of Medical Sciences in 1926. Between 1926 and 1956, students at the University of Saskatchewan were able to take two years of basic pre-medical classes prior to enrolment at a major medical school in Canada for the final two years of instruction. The School became a College in 1952. Dr. Lindsay served as Dean of Medicine from 1926 until 1951. Dr. Lindsay retired from the University of Saskatchewan in 1952. From 1956-1960 he was the Assistant Medical Director at University Hospital. In 1955 he received an honourary Doctor of Laws degree from the U of S at a ceremony marking the opening of University Hospital. In 1971 the U of S established a named chair in the College of Education known as the W.S. Lindsay Professorship. In 1976 Lindsay became a member of the Canadian Association of Pathologists. Lindsay died in 1979. The W.S. Lindsay Gold Medal in Nursing is named in his honour and is given annually to the student with the highest cumulative grade-point average in the entire nursing program that year. Lindsay Drive and Place in Greystone Heights are named in his honour.
