A message from President Peter MacKinnon

I want to express a very warm welcome to the graduates, families and friends who join us today. Convocation is the University’s most important ceremony, for it is here that we celebrate the accomplishments of our students and the contributions of their loved ones to their success. You should be proud of this day, and of the commitment and sacrifice that it represents. We at the University of Saskatchewan salute you – our graduates – and we extend to you our very best wishes for the future. We hope that you will stay in touch with us through our University of Saskatchewan alumni family, and that we will have the opportunity to welcome you ‘home’ to our campus many times in the years ahead. Warmest congratulations!

University of Saskatchewan 34 2003 Fall Convocation History of the University of Saskatchewan

The University of Saskatchewan was established by the In 1909, the University had 70 students and 5 professors, University Act on April 3, 1907, only 18 months after including the President. Today there are over 19,000 students Saskatchewan became a province. studying in 13 colleges and 1 school. This is the only university in Canada with five health-science colleges and a The people of the province, as well as their government, were major teaching hospital on the same campus. The University instrumental in shaping the new University. The provincial offers Spring and Summer Session, Evening Courses, government requested all residents who were graduates of a Independent Studies courses and Distance Education as well Canadian or British university to form the first Convocation as on-campus daytime courses. and elect the University’s Senate. The Senate, in turn, elected five members to the first Board of Governors, while the The University of Saskatchewan overlooks the South province appointed three. In 1908, the Board selected Saskatchewan River from a 755 hectare site. The campus Professor Walter Charles Murray, of Dalhousie University, as consists of 147 hectares with the remaining being a research the first President. park, the University farm and experimental plots. Classes in Arts and Science began in September, 1909, in Most early buildings on campus are Collegiate Gothic in downtown Saskatoon. Construction of the campus began in style and are constructed in a local dolomite, popularly known 1910 and the first buildings were occupied in the fall of as greystone. Subsequently constructed buildings also have 1912. They included the College Building (Administration greystone, as well as Tyndall stone (pre-cut slabs quarried in Building), Saskatchewan Hall (a student residence), Tyndall, Manitoba), concrete, brick, glass and aggregate residences for the Dean of Agriculture and the President, a facings. laboratory for Engineering, and a number of farm buildings. The University offers many points of interest for visitors: the From the beginning, the University established an emphasis Diefenbaker Canada Centre, Museum of Natural Sciences, on research and teaching in a context of community service, Museum of Antiquities, Biology Museum, Pharmaceutical and encouraged co-operation among departments and Museum, the Observatory, the Gordon Snelgrove Gallery, the divisions in tackling common problems. The development St. Thomas More Gallery, Rugby Chapel, the Little Stone of rust-resistant strains of wheat, for example, initiated by the Schoolhouse, the Memorial Gates, Patterson Garden, and University and federal and provincial research agencies, has the Kenderdine Gallery. been of untold value to the prairie economy.
