  • AS Morton's History of the University
    “Written in Letters of Gold” A. S. Morton’s History of the University of Saskatchewan’s First 25 Years By Arthur Morton Introduction and annotations by Cheryl Avery and Patrick Hayes The following illustrated essay is a faithful reproduction of a slide show and lecture given by history professor Arthur Silver Morton on the University of Saskatchewan’s first twenty-five years. It was given between 1934 and 1937, the result of a request to Morton by the Alumni Association, although the audience it was directed toward, or the number of times it may have been presented, is not known. The text, found as an annotated typescript among Morton’s papers, has been unaltered; and from Morton’s notes it was possible to identify and use the same images as in the original presentation, with very few exceptions. The result is an interesting, informal and unique perspective on the University’s first quarter century and an assessment of its achievements and role within the province. Arthur Silver Morton joined the University 1914 as professor of history, with a concurrent appointment as Librarian. He remained with the University and was active on campus even after his 1940 retirement; by the time of this lecture, he had been on faculty for just over two decades. He certainly knew many of the people – students, staff, faculty colleagues, and in some cases government officials – about whom he spoke. In some respects it would therefore be easy to dismiss him as an apologist for the institution. But he was, also, a professional historian, able to sift through and analyse evidence; many of the points he makes were extremely relevant to the time.

Buffalo kill sites, teepee rings, and medicine wheels can still be seen in the area today, and form an important link with our history and the indigenous peoples of this province. Saskatoon has changed dramatically since it was founded by the temperance colonists in the spring of 1883. From a small collection of sod shacks on the east bank of the South Saskatchewan River, Saskatoon has grown to be the largest city in Saskatchewan with a rich and varied heritage. 2 y TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction. 7-8 Central Business District 1 Arthur Cook Building . 9 2 Bank of Montreal ...................................9 3 Birks Building .......................................10 4 Black Duck Freehouse . .10 5 Bottomley Block . 10 6 Buckwold Building . 11 7 Cambridge Court ................................... 11 8 Canada Building ....................................12 9 Canadian Pacific Railway Station. 12 10 Cenotaph . 12 11 Chubb Block . 13 12 Connaught Block . 13 13 Delta Bessborough Hotel .............................14 14 Drinkle Building No. 3 . .14 15 F.W.
