Honourary Degrees - Presentation - Euphemia Jane Thomson

John G. Diefenbaker, University Chancellor, making presentation of an honourary Doctor of Laws degree to Euphemia Jane Thomson at Convocation held at Centennial Auditorium.

Bio/Historical Note: Euphemia Jane (Douglas) Thomson was born in 1901 at Tantallon, Saskatchewan. Primary training was the one-roomed Holar School near Tantallon village school, then Moosomin Collegiate. Thomson received her BSc in Home Economics, magna cum laude, from the University of Manitoba in 1924. She taught for one season at the School of Agriculture, Olds, Alberta, before taking dietician training at St. Paul, Minnesota. In 1926 Thomson directed a pilot project in Winnipeg as the visiting nutritionist with the children from the out-patient department of the Children's Hospital. Euphemia married Wallace A. Thomson (Ag. 1919 Sask) in 1927. He taught physics at the University of Saskatchewan from 1920-1924. He was an instructor in physics at the University of Manitoba when they were married in 1927. The Thomsons operated a farm at Pense, Saskatchewan, and established themselves in the livestock industry - holsteins, shorthorns and sheep. Adult education was Thomson's life work. She pioneered the selection of varieties of vegetables suitable for home freezing; new techniques in sewing and needlework were studied in both formal and informal classes. Thomson served the Homemakers’ Club of Pense (now Women's Institute) since 1927 and held the office of president for ten of those years. Her activities in provincial affairs have gone far beyond the community of Pense. Thomson organized numerous 4-H clubs. Over the years, she judged the Saskatoon and Regina "A" fairs, all of the "B" fairs and many of the "C" fairs in Saskatchewan. Thomson was past president of the Saskatchewan Home Economics Association and an honourary life member of the Regina Branch. She was a member of the Committee for Revision of the High-school Home Economics Curriculum from 1946-1948. During World War II she was a member of the Regina Regional Wartime Price and Trade Board which monitored prices and rationings. Thomson co-authored the original resolution for the organization of a Canadian Association of Consumers now known as the Consumers Association of Canada. She also served as president of the Saskatchewan Consumers Association. Euphemia Thomson died in 1981 in Regina.

Annie Colley - Portrait

Bio/Historical Note: Ann (Annie) Colley was born 3 October 1912 in the Bergheim Lutheran community north of Saskatoon. Her primary education was at Bergheim School and secondary schooling at Lutheran College and Seminary in Saskatoon. Colley obtained a teaching certificate in 1932 and taught for five years. Moving to Saskatoon, she worked for nine years as a dressmaker with a department store. She graduated in 1964 from the University of Saskatchewan with a BSc in Home Economics and a BEd, followed in 1969 by a Diploma in Continuing Education. A major contribution to rural Saskatchewan was Colley’s work with Indigenous women, representing women on 44 reserves. In three years more than 1,700 took courses taught by instructors trained at the university. These local instructors attended short courses in home management, nutrition, food preparation, money management, knitting and sewing. With financial backing from Saskatchewan Women’s Institutes, Colley and her husband obtained and refurbished over 200 used treadle sewing machines. These were presented to women who had completed 60 hours of training. Many Indigenous women learned basic homemaking skills from their own instructors. Aside from her work with natives, Colley provided Homemakers’ clubs, 4-H clubs, Women’s Institutes and agricultural societies with courses in consumer education, nutrition, home management, family life education and clothing and textiles. One of her chief concerns was money management in the family. Colley initiated and produced the first U of S television series on major issues of land use, transportation and energy in 1977. These were seen from six television stations in Saskatchewan. In the mid-1970s Colley conducted courses in retirement education from the university. She served a term as president of the Saskatchewan Home Economics Association and was an active worker in Saskatoon community organizations, including Friendship Inn, the Canadian Red Cross and Orpheus 60 Choir. On retirement in 1978 Colley took a two-year assignment in Botswana to teach native women nutrition, sewing, leadership, home management and money management. In 1993 she was inducted into the Saskatchewan Agriculture Hall of Fame (SAHF). Anne Colley died 29 November 2005 in Maple Ridge, BC at age 93. The Annie Colley Trust for University of Saskatchewan is awarded in Colley’s honour by the Saskatoon Community Foundation.
