President’s Message 

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. 

In this our Centennial year, we at the University of Saskatchewan are especially 

proud of our accomplishments over the past 100 years, and it is thanks in large part 

to you, our students, who have helped us to achieve our goal of building a worldclass 

institution of higher learning. 

As we celebrate our successes with pride and anticipate our future with excitement, 

the University of Saskatchewan is ready to expand on the original vision of our 

founders. Our mission now is to engage fully in all we do, to enlighten all we serve, 

and to explore all aspects of our world. We hope that you—our graduates—will 

carry on this same mission as you engage, enlighten and explore within your own 

new life. 

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! 


The Chancellor 

W. THOMAS MOLLOY 

Mr. Molloy was born and raised in 

Saskatoon. He attended St. Thomas 

More College and later the College 

of Law, both at the University of 

Saskatchewan. He received his B.A. 

and LL.B. in 1964. He has practised 

law in Saskatoon since graduation 

and is with the MacPherson Leslie 

& Tyerman Saskatoon office. He has 

represented the Government of Canada 

as the Chief Federal Negotiator in the 

successfully concluded treaties with 

the Inuit of Nunavut, with the Nisga’a 

in British Columbia and with the Inuit 

of Northern Quebec Offshore and 

Labrador claim. He has represented 

Canada in treaty negotiations in British 

Columbia, Quebec, New Brunswick, 

Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, 

Yukon, North West Territories and 

Nunavut. Mr. Molloy has been 

described as “Canada’s most expert 

treaty negotiator”. 

He recently authored a book The 

World is our Witness: The Historic 

Journey of the Nisga’a into Canada. 

The book has won two Saskatchewan 

Book Awards, The Brenda MacDonald 

Riches First Book Award and the 

Non‐fiction Award which was 

sponsored by the University of 

Saskatchewan. 

For his work in the community he has 

received a number of awards including 

the City of Saskatoon Certificate of 

Distinguished Community Service; 

Rotary Golden Wheels Award for 

Excellence, Saskatoon B’nai Brith 

“Proud of You Award”, and the Head 

of the Public Service Award for 

Excellence in Service Delivery. 

In 1996 he was made an officer of the 

Order of Canada, with a citation that 

reads: 

He is widely known for his role as 

Chief Negotiator for the Government 

of Canada in the Nunavut Land Claim 

Agreement. His integrity, commitment 

to a just settlement and personable 

rapport have also been valuable in 

his leadership of numerous cultural, 

educational and charitable groups, 

not only in Saskatchewan but also 

nationally, including the Meewasin 

Foundation and PRIDE Canada. 

The University of Saskatchewan 

Alumni Association awarded him 

the 2000 Alumni Honour Award 

in recognition of receiving notable 

acclaim for professional achievements, 

which in turn has enhanced the image 

of the University of Saskatchewan 

and its alumni. In January, 2001 

The Canadian Bar Association 

Saskatchewan Branch named him 

as the recipient of the Distinguished 

Service Award. 


Alumni Message 

heather magotiaux 

2007 is an exciting year for the University of Saskatchewan and there is no greater 

moment than Convocation to reflect on our past accomplishments and look to 

the future. As we celebrate our University’s Centennial this year, it is important to 

recognize and honour the bold vision of our founders, who dreamed of creating an 

institution that, in the words of our first president, Walter Murray, should have “an 

honoured place among the best.” I think you would agree that our University has 

emerged as a great Canadian university and, in areas of academic pre‐eminence, we 

are recognized as world leaders. 

As our graduates receive their degrees today, they join a larger community of over 

120,000 U of S alumni worldwide. For 100 years, our graduates have become 

leaders in their chosen professions, and in so doing have enhanced the profile and 

reputation of the University of Saskatchewan. To today’s graduates, my message 

is: you now have the responsibility to uphold the outstanding reputation of our 

University of Saskatchewan alumni. Create a legacy that future U of S students and 

alumni can celebrate over the next century. Use your energy and passion to live and 

build well. And don’t forget to stay connected with your University, your College and 

your classmates during your lifelong journey. 

Engage, enlighten and explore the world. Congratulations to all the graduates of 

2007.

The University of 

Saskatchewan was 

established by the University 

Act on April 3, 1907, only 18 months 

after Saskatchewan became a 

province. 

The people of the province, as well as 

their government, were instrumental 

in shaping the new University. The 

provincial government requested 

all residents who were graduates 

of a Canadian or British university 

to form the first Convocation and 

elect the University’s Senate. In 

1908, the Board selected Professor 

Walter Charles Murray, of Dalhousie 

University, as the first President. 

Classes in Arts and Science began 

in September, 1909, in downtown 

Saskatoon. Construction of the 

campus began in 1910 and the first 

buildings were occupied in the fall 

of 1912. They included the College 

Building (Administration Building), 

Saskatchewan Hall (a student 

residence), residences for the Dean 

of Agriculture and the President, 

a laboratory for Engineering and a 

number of farm buildings. 

From the beginning, the University 

established an emphasis on research 

and teaching in a context of 

community service, and encouraged 

co‐operation among departments 

and divisions in tackling common 

problems. The development of

Today’s campus, with its majestic elms and gothic architecture, spans 2,425 acres. 

rust-resistant strains of wheat, for 

example, initiated by the University 

and federal and provincial research 

agencies, has been of untold value 

to the prairie economy. 

In 1909, the University 

had 70 students and five 

professors, including 

the President. Today 

there are over 19,000 

students studying in 

13 colleges and two 

schools. This is the only 

university in Canada 

with five health-science 

colleges and a major 

teaching hospital on 

the same campus. 

The University of Saskatchewan 

overlooks the South Saskatchewan 

River. Most early buildings on 

campus are Collegiate Gothic 

in style and are constructed in a 

local dolomite, popularly known 

as greystone. Subsequently 

constructed buildings also have 

greystone, as well as Tyndall stone 

(pre-cut slabs quarried in Tyndall,

In 1907, the population of Saskatoon 

was roughly 4,500 and the province of 

Saskatchewan, 210,000. 

Saskatoon’s population today tops 

200,000; Saskatchewan’s grazes the 

million mark. 

Students/Faculty 

In 1909, five faculty members taught the 

first group of 70 students. Classes were 

initially held in the Drinkle building in 

downtown Saskatoon. 

Currently more than 1,000 faculty 

members mentor a student body of 

nearly 20,000. 

Colleges 

Arts & Science and Agriculture were the 

first two colleges to be established at the 

U of S—in 1908 and 1909, respectively. 

Today, 13 colleges and two schools offer 

58 degrees, diplomas and certificates in 

over 100 areas of study. 

Tuition 

In 1909, tuition fees were $6 per 

class. Today the cost ranges from 

approximately $800 to $1,400 per class. 

graduates 

In 1912, the U of S honoured its first 

graduating class of seven students. 

The ceremony was held at Nutana 

Collegiate. At this year’s Convocation 

spring and fall ceremonies, we will 

honour nearly 4,000 new graduates.

LOOKING 

forward 1907-2007 

Today, the U of S is the only Canadian 

anglophone university with a combination of 

colleges devoted to the study of human, animal 

and plant life on one campus. Our science cluster 

is unmatched across the nation, comprised of the 

Canadian Light Source synchrotron, the Vaccine 

and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO), 

Innovation Place, and an array of health sciences 

colleges. 

Since 1907, the vision of our founders, and 

the generations of students, faculty and staff 

who followed, have shaped the U of S into one 

of Canada’s finest institutions and a centre of 

excellence for research. The imagination, courage, 

integrity and community values upon which the 

University was built will continue to guide us into 

the next century.

The word “Convocation” arises 

from the Latin “cum” meaning 

“together,” and “vocare” 

meaning “to call.” Our Convocation 

ceremony is a calling together of 

the new graduates of the University 

of Saskatchewan, symbolizing the 

historical practice of calling together 

all former graduates. In current times, 

the major functions of Convocation 

are the election of representatives 

to University governing bodies and 

the admission of candidates to 

degrees. The Chancellor, elected by 

Convocation as its Chair, is the highest 

official and spokesperson of the 

University. 

The Convocation ceremony marks 

the transition from the role of student 

to the holder of a degree with its 

accompanying rights and privileges. 

The ceremony, solemnized in the 

presence of the University community 

and family and friends of the 

graduands, consists of three parts: 

a procession marking the leaving 

of the old status and entering the 

new; the President’s statement to the 

graduands, the Secretary’s petition 

and the Chancellor’s consent for their 

admission; followed by individual 

presentation by their Dean and 

admission by the Chancellor to the 

degrees to which they are entitled. As 

graduates are admitted to their degrees, 

a graduation hood, which has a colour 

symbolizing a particular degree, is 

placed over each graduate’s head.

Convocation 

Entrance 

The members of Convocation in their 

academic robes march in procession 

into the ceremony in the following 

order: Graduands in the order in which 

their degrees are to be conferred; 

Faculty; Board of Governors; 

Senate; Guests of Honour; 

The President; The Chancellor; 

The Lieutenant Governor. When the 

members of Convocation reach their 

places they remain standing during 

the Vice-Regal Salute, the singing of 

O Canada and the Invocation. 

Order of the Ceremony 

The first business is the Conferring 

of Honorary Degrees, followed by 

Convocation Address, President’s 

Statement to the Graduands, the 

Conferring of Degrees and the 

Presentation of Awards. The meeting 

is closed by the Chancellor rising and 

asking the audience to join in the 

singing of God Save the Queen and 

leading the procession in the reverse 

order out of the hall. 

Degree Ceremony 

The ceremony comprises the Petition, 

the Admission, and the Presentation. 

the petition 

The University Secretary on behalf 

of all the Candidates, addresses the 

Chancellor and Senate in these words: 

“Eminent Chancellor, President, I 

present to you the petition that the 

candidates to be named, having 

fulfilled all the requirements of the 

statutes, may be admitted to the 

degrees and certificates to which they 

are entitled”. 

the admission 

The Chancellor then addresses the 

candidates in these words: 

“By virtue of the authority vested in 

me by the Legislature of this Province, 

and with the consent of the Council 

of this University, I consent to admit 

you to the degrees and certificates to 

which you are entitled and to invest 

you with all the powers, rights and 

privileges pertaining thereto.” 

the PRESENTATION 

The Dean of the Faculty, or designate, 

followed by the candidates of that 

Faculty, approaches the Chancellor 

from the left and presents the 

candidates with these words: 

“Eminent Chancellor, on behalf of the 

Faculty of ______, I present to you 

these Scholars and ask that you will 

confer on them the degree of ______ .” 

As the Dean speaks the candidate’s 

name in full, the candidate moves 

forward in front of the Chancellor. 

Then the Chancellor says, “I admit 

you” and the University Secretary or 

the Registrar places the hood over 

the candidate’s head. Hereupon the 

candidate passes to the Chancellor’s 

right, is greeted by the President, and 

receives the degree parchment. 

Degrees in Absentia 

In such cases, the University Secretary 

says: 

“Eminent Chancellor, in the name of 

the Faculties, I ask you to grant the 

degrees and certificates, in absentia, to 

those students whose names appear in 

the printed program and who were not 

able to be present today.” 

The Chancellor replies: 

“At the request of the Faculties 

I authorize these degrees and 

certificates to be granted.” 


The Convocation Ceremony 

Academic Costumes 

Academic costume lends an element of 

colourful pageantry to the Convocation 

proceedings. This traditional clothing— 

worn on a daily basis at universities in 

earlier times—is now more commonly 

reserved for ceremonial functions. 

At the University of Saskatchewan, 

the following academic costume 

is adopted to be worn upon all 

appropriate occasions: 

The gown resembles a long cape 

with full sleeve cut to elbow and 

terminating in a point for the 

Bachelor’s degree; with long sleeve 

and a semi-circular cut at the bottom 

for the Master’s degree; and with round 

open sleeves for the Doctor’s degree. 

The material is black for the Bachelor’s 

degree, and black material or silk for 

the Master’s and Doctor’s degrees. 

The Doctor’s gown may have a border 

down the front on either side of a 

color distinctive of the character of the 

degree. 

The hoods for the Bachelor’s and 

Master’s degrees are of black 

broadcloth. For the Doctor’s (Ph.D.) 

degree the hood is scarlet cloth with a 

blue lining. The Master’s and Doctor’s 

hoods have a lining and the Bachelor’s 

an edging (and in some cases, a lining) 

of a color distinctive of the character of 

the degree.

IRENE LILY DUBÉ 

Through her entrepreneurial spirit, 

community service and philanthropy, 

Irene Dubé has set an inspiring 

example for business and charitable 

leadership in the Saskatoon 

community. 

Irene Lily Dubé (nee Sigurdson) was 

born in Wynyard, Saskatchewan. In 

1954, Irene married Les Dubé, and her 

contributions in the community began 

when she and her husband made their 

first private sector investment in 1961 

with the purchase of a lot of land on 

8th Street East in Saskatoon. By 1969 

they opened a small business office 

to manage their growing company. 

Starting with only three employees, 

the Concorde Group of Companies 

has grown into a diverse company 

with extensive holdings. Irene Dubé 

contributed by providing general 

management and accounting services 

for the Dubés’ many businesses. The 

Dubé success is attributed to hard 

work, sound business practices, and a 

social consciousness. 

While managing the family 

business interests, Irene Dubé also 

provided service to the University of 

Saskatchewan, serving as a member of 

its Board of Governors from 1987 to 

1989. Irene froze her estate in 1993, 

and at that point the Dubés decided 

to donate money accumulated from 

their business interests to charities. 

Since then, her philanthropic efforts in 

Saskatoon have contributed to a new 

wing at St. Paul’s Hospital, provided 

finances for several other unmet 

needs in the area of surgery, urology 

and renal care, the establishment of 

a Breast Health Centre at Saskatoon 

City Hospital and the Les and Irene 

Dubé Community Service-Learning 

Program at St. Thomas More College, 

an experimental style of learning that 

combines classroom education with 

volunteer service in the Saskatoon 

community. Among many other things, 

Irene Dubé’s community service has 

also involved taking in young unwed 

mothers whose parents would not 

allow them to live at home, and 

providing these young women with a 

warm and loving home environment 

until their babies were born. 

Irene Dubé’s concern for the 

well‐being of others and quality of 

life in the community demonstrates 

true empathy, and many have been 

enriched by her acts of kindness and 

contributions to health care, education 

and community service organizations. 

In 2006, Mrs. Dubé was inducted 

into the SABEX Hall of Fame, an 

honour presented to long standing 

members of the greater Saskatoon 

Business community. In 2006, she 

was recognized during the City of 

Saskatoon Centennial as part of the 

100 Who Made a Difference for her 

commitment to philanthropy and 

entrepreneurial spirit. 



LESlie David DUBÉ 

Les Dubé has set an inspiring example 

for business and charitable leadership 

in the Saskatoon community. Leading 

by example through his strength of 

character and generous spirit, Mr. 

Dubé is a community role model 

whose philanthropy, community 

service and social investment have 

enriched the lives of many. 

Les Dubé was born in Wynyard, 

Saskatchewan, and in 1954 

married Irene Lily Sigurdson. As an 

entrepreneur, his contributions in the 

community began in 1961 with his 

first private sector investment, leading 

in 1969 to the opening of a small 

business office. Starting with only 

three employees, the Concorde Group 

of Companies has grown into a large 

company with diversified business 

ventures in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, 

Alberta and British Columbia. 

The company started with land 

purchases, then building motels, 

apartments, warehouses and strip 

malls; the supply and distribution of 

fresh fruit and vegetables from many 

parts of the world for wholesale and 

retail food stores throughout Western 

Canada. Large distribution facilities 

are now located in British Columbia, 

Alberta and Manitoba serving Western 

Ontario through to British Columbia. 

Les Dubé opted to freeze his estate 

in 1993, and at that point, the Dubés 

decided to donate money accumulated 

from their business interest to charities. 

Les Dubé’s philanthropic efforts in 

Saskatoon have contributed to a new 

wing at St. Paul’s Hospital, funding 

the only lithotripter (for pulverizing 

kidney stones) in Saskatchewan, 

the Surgical Special Care Units 

and the Urology Centre of Health 

at St. Paul’s, the establishment of a 

Breast Health Centre at Saskatoon 

City Hospital and the Les and Irene 

Dubé Community Service-Learning 

Program at St. Thomas More College. 

Les Dubé has held a number of 

leadership positions with charities 

and non-profit organizations in 

Saskatchewan including the Heart 

& Stroke Foundation, the Knights 

of Columbus, The Saskatchewan 

Diabetes Association, and others too 

numerous to mention. Of particular 

note are the Dubés’ contributions 

to the James P. Mahoney Institute of 

the Family. Mr. Dubé served on the 

inaugural Board of the Saskatoon 

Economic Development Authority, 

now SREDA, and his contribution 

to the early development of the 

Authority is considered instrumental 

in its success. With a strong service 

commitment to the health sector, he 

chaired the St. Paul’s Hospital Board 

of Management from 1989–1994, 

and was a founding member of the 

Saskatoon Health Authority. His 

many directorships include service 

as Director and Executive Council 

Member of the Saskatchewan 

Chamber of Commerce, and as a 

member of the Board of Governors of 

St. Thomas More College. 

Les Dubé was inducted into the 

SABEX Hall of Fame in 2006 and 

was recognized during the City of 

Saskatoon Centennial as part of the 

100 Who Made a Difference for his 

commitment to philanthropy and 

entrepreneurial spirit.

Honorary Doctor of Letters 

LORNA Jean CROZIER 

Lorna Crozier was born in 

Swift Current, Saskatchewan. She 

received her B.A. in English and 

Psychology from the University 

of Saskatchewan in 1969 and her 

Saskatchewan Teacher’s Certificate 

in 1970. As a child growing up in a 

prairie community where the local 

heroes were hockey players and 

curlers, she “never once thought of 

being a writer.” Lorna went on to 

teach high school English and work as 

a guidance counsellor. During these 

years, Lorna published her first poem 

in Grain magazine, a publication 

that turned her life toward writing. 

Her first collection Inside in the Sky 

was published in 1976. Since then, 

she has authored 14 books of poetry, 

including The Garden Going on 

Without Us, Angels of Flesh, Angels of 

Silence, Inventing the Hawk, winner 

of the 1992 Governor-General’s 

Award, Everything Arrives at the 

Light, Apocrypha of Light, What 

the Living Won’t Let Go, and most 

recently Whetstone. Whether Lorna 

is writing about angels, aging, or 

Louis Armstrong’s trout sandwich, 

she continues to engage readers and 

writers across Canada and the world 

with her grace, wisdom and wit. 

She is, as Margaret Laurence wrote, 

“a poet to be grateful for.” 

Since the beginning of her writing 

career, Lorna has been known for 

her inspired teaching and mentoring 

of other poets. Lorna was the 

writer‐in‐residence at the Cypress 

Hills Community College in Swift 

Current, the Regina Public Library 

and the University of Toronto. She 

has held short-term residencies at the 

Universities of Toronto and Lethbridge 

and at Douglas College. Presently she 

lives near Victoria, where she teaches 

and serves as Chair in the Writing 

Department at the University. 

Lorna has also edited two non-fiction 

collections—Desire in Seven Voices 

and Addiction: Notes from the Belly of 

the Beast. Together with her husband 

and fellow poet Patrick Lane, she 

edited the 1994 landmark collection 

Breathing Fire: Canada’s New Poets; 

in 2004, they co-edited Breathing Fire 

2, once again introducing more than 

thirty new writers to the Canadian 

literary world. 

Her poems continue to be widely 

anthologized, appearing in 15 

Canadian Poets X 3, 20th Century 

Poetry and Poetics, Poetry International 

and most recently in Open Field: An 

Anthology of Contemporary Canadian 

Poets, a collection designed for 

American readers. 

Her reputation as a generous and 

inspiring artist extends from her passion 

for the craft of poetry to her teaching 

and through to her involvement in 

various social causes. In addition to 

leading poetry workshops across the 

globe, Lorna has given benefit readings 

for numerous organizations. She has 

been a frequent guest on CBC radio 

where she once worked as a reviewer 

and arts show host. 

Her many honours for her writing and 

teaching include twice winning the 

league of Canadian Poets Pat Lowther 

Award for the best book of poems by a 

Canadian woman, the Dorothy Livesay 

Prize (the B.C. Book Prize for Poetry), 

the National Magazine gold medal, 

and first prize in the National CBC 

Literary Competition. She received an 

honorary Doctorate of Laws from the 

University of Regina, the Distinguished 

Alumni Award from the University of 

Alberta and was named a Distinguished 

Professor at the University of Victoria. 


Honorary Doctor of Science 

calvin (cal) Ralph stiller 

Dr. Stiller is an internationally 

famed physician, scientist and 

entrepreneur, who was raised in 

Naicam, Saskatchewan and obtained 

his medical degree from the University 

of Saskatchewan in 1965 and his 

F.R.C.P. (C) in 1970 following postgraduate 

studies in London and 

Edmonton. Dr. Stiller is currently 

Professor Emeritus in the Department of 

Medicine at the University of Western 

Ontario and Chair of Genome Canada 

and the Ontario Innovation Trust. 

In 1972, Dr. Stiller launched London’s 

organ transplant program and became 

one of the world’s leading clinical 

investigators in transplantation. This 

program was, and still is, at the leading 

edge of the transplantation field. From 

1984 to 1996, he served as the unit’s 

chief. During this period, he was also 

principal investigator of the Canadian 

multi-centre study that established 

the importance of Cyclosporine in 

transplantation and led to its worldwide 

use as first-line therapy for transplant 

rejection. He pioneered the use of 

immunosuppressive therapy in type I 

diabetes and was the first to confirm the 

role of the immune system in human 

type I diabetes. As a leading researcher, 

he has published some 265 scientific 

and medical papers, co-edited five 

books, and authored the book Lifegifts. 

Professionally, Dr. Stiller has served 

as President of the Canadian Society 

of Nephrology and on numerous 

professional and government 

committees. He co-founded the 

Multiple Organ Retrieval and 

Exchange Program, the J. Allyn Taylor 

International Prize in Medicine, the 

Canadian Medical Hall of Fame, 

Robarts Research Institute, MaRS 

and the Ontario Institute for Cancer 

Research and has been active in a 

number of charitable organizations. 

Dr. Stiller also co-chaired the first 

International Congress on Ethics in 

Transplantation. 

As a businessman and entrepreneur, 

Dr. Stiller was keenly aware that 

Canada was sadly deficient in the 

mechanisms and resources to exploit 

our fundamental biological discoveries 

in the marketplace. As a result, he 

co‐founded four venture capital funds, 

the Canadian Medical Discoveries 

Fund, Canadian Science and 

Technology Growth Fund, CMDF II, 

and Starting Startups Venture Fund. He 

sits on the boards of numerous public 

foundations and companies. 

Among Dr. Stiller’s many awards and 

honours are the MEDEC Award of 

Canada in 1992; the first Distinguished 

Scientist award for International Medical 

Contributions from the University of 

Saskatchewan in 1993; and the first 

President’s Merit Award of the Medical 

Research Council of Canada in 1995. 

In 1995 Dr. Stiller was named as a 

Member of the Order of Canada and 

in 2003, a Member of the Order of 

Ontario. In 1999, the Novartis/Calvin 

Stiller Chair in Xenotransplantation at 

the University of Western Ontario was 

announced in his honour. Dr. Stiller 

received the Distinguished Service 

Award of the Friends of Canadian 

Institutes of Health Research in 2002. 

He received an Honorary Doctor of 

Laws Degree from McMaster University 

in Hamilton in 2003. 

In 1998 Dr. Stiller was named by the 

Premier of the Province of Ontario 

as Chair of the Ontario Research and 

Development Challenge Fund and a 

Director of the Ontario Innovation Trust. 


Earned Doctor of Science 

JEREMY LEE 

Born and raised in Northern England, 

Jeremy Lee was awarded a scholarship 

in 1971 to study natural sciences at 

Cambridge University and received a 

B.A. in chemistry in 1974. Three years 

later, he completed a Ph.D. in 

pharmacology. His thesis title was The 

Binding of Antibiotics to DNA — 

research that marked the beginning of 

a lifelong interest in the structure and 

function of nucleic acids. 

After spending four years working in a 

university biochemistry lab in 

Edmonton, Dr. Lee became a landed 

immigrant in 1980. In 1982, he moved 

to Saskatoon to take up a position at 

the U of S as assistant professor of 

biochemistry. 

His initial research focus was analysis 

of monoclonal antibodies that bind to 

proteins, DNA or RNA. By 1987, he 

had succeeded in preparing unique 

antibodies which bind specifically to 

three-stranded DNA, showing that the 

chromosomes of eukaryotes—the same 

broad group of organisms that includes 

humans—contained this unusual 

structure. 

In 1997, he was the first to convert an 

antibody that binds to RNA into a 

nuclease that cuts RNA into pieces by 

the modification of a single amino 

acid. But it was the unexpected 

discovery of another unusual DNA 

structure in 1992, called M-DNA, 

which has dominated his research for 

the last 15 years. 

M-DNA has a metal ion in the middle of 

the DNA helix which causes the DNA to 

become a conductor of electrons rather 

than an insulator. With a diameter of 

only two nanometers, M-DNA may be 

the smallest wire imaginable. Indeed a 

simple transistor with dimensions of 

only 10 nanometres has been 

constructed in Dr. Lee’s lab. 

Potential applications include 

M‐DNA‐based diagnostic tools that 

would quickly yield information on 

genetic disease and bacterial 

infection—perhaps even providing 

answers to doctors before the end of a 

patient’s visit. Adnavance Technologies 

Inc. was founded in 2002 in order to 

exploit this possibility, with Dr. Lee 

serving as the company’s chief 

scientific officer. 

Dr. Lee is proud of the fact that he has 

never taken a biochemistry course in 

his life and yet has taught the subject 

for 25 years to medical and graduate 

students and in the undergraduate 

biochemistry program. 

He was honoured with the College of 

Medicine basic sciences teaching 

award in 1990 and 1995. His love of 

teaching is matched only by his dislike 

of PowerPoint and he can frequently 

be found walking around campus 

covered in chalk dust. 


Distinguished Researcher Award 

Gregg Adams 

The Distinguished Researcher Award 

recognizes a faculty member’s 

contribution to scholarship through 

creation, expansion, and critique 

of knowledge. Dr. Gregg P. Adams, 

Professor of Veterinary Biomedical 

Sciences at the Western College of 

Veterinary Medicine, is the recipient of 

the Spring 2007 award. 

Dr. Adams’ outstanding work 

has had significant impact in the 

field of reproductive biology. His 

groundbreaking research has led to 

more than 15 scientific “firsts.” 

He has worked with a wide variety of 

mammals, including many endangered 

species, and has also worked to 

develop models applicable to humans. 

His collaborative research with the 

College of Medicine discovered 

that women, like some mammals, 

experience two to three “follicular 

waves” per menstrual cycle. This 

finding, with its profound implication 

for both contraception and assisted 

reproduction, was identified as one of 

the Top 100 Science Stories in 2003 by 

Discover magazine. 

Over his distinguished 25-year career 

as a veterinarian, researcher and 

educator at the U of S, Dr. Adams has 

authored or co-authored more than 

100 papers in refereed journals as 

well as writing chapters in books and 

review articles. Dr. Adams presents his 

findings at international, national and 

regional conferences. 

Lauded as a world-class researcher 

by his colleagues, Dr. Adams’ novel 

research program, leadership and 

dedication are his signature within the 

scientific and lay communities. 

As the leader of the University’s 

successful bid for the Biomedical 

Imaging and Therapy beamline at the 

Canadian Light Source, he has helped 

give biological sciences researchers 

across campus the opportunity for 

great advancements with this powerful 

new technology. 

A hallmark of Dr. Adams’ leadership is 

never asking others to do anything he 

would not do himself. His teammates 

often find him teaching in the field, 

taking unpopular shifts in large‐scale 

projects, and developing new 

approaches to facilitate research and 

clinical work. 

Dr. Adams’ drive and passion is 

apparent from his lengthy record of 

scholarly achievement as well as his 

devoted mentorship of his students. 

Over the course of his career, he has 

mentored 25 graduate students and 

supervised more than 30 summer 

students. 

Dr. Adams earned a Doctor of 

Veterinary Medicine degree from 

the U of S in 1982 after completing 

pre‐veterinary classes in biology in 

1978. He continued his studies at 

the University of Wisconsin, earning 

his Master’s degree in 1987, clinical 

specialization in 1988, and his Ph.D. 

in 1991. 


Master Teacher Award 

VIPEN SAWHNEY 

Professor Vipen Sawhney provides a 

perfect example of the teacher-scholar 

envisaged in the mission statement 

of the University of Saskatchewan. 

Over the past 30 plus years, Professor 

Sawhney has established a reputation 

as an outstanding teacher, all the 

while dispatching administrative tasks 

with ease and maintaining a first rate 

research program, with a co-edited 

book and over 100 refereed papers to 

his credit. 

A perusal of comments from teaching 

questionnaires and letters from 

students reveals an amazing teacher. 

Professor Sawhney’s lectures, which 

combine overhead transparencies, 

videos, stories, humorous anecdotes 

and colourful PowerPoint presentations 

capture the imagination of his students 

and make biology come alive. Each 

of Vipen’s lectures is a model of 

organization and clarity, but Vipen’s 

trademark is his dedication to and 

enthusiasm for biology, particularly 

plants. His impact on undergraduate 

students is captured in the following 

quotation from a first year student. 

“Indeed, we all knew that he loved 

biology and that though his specialty 

was plants, he too had a favourite 

animal: the elephant. We also saw that 

he was quite a dancer, as he tried to 

show us how the living cell was not 

static, but rather dynamic. It was this 

passion for his work that first caught 

my attention.” And later in the same 

letter, “ So how has this affected my life 

as a student It gave me a new sense of 

confidence. Dr. Sawhney turned me on 

to learning and really thinking rather 

than simply studying to ace an exam”. 

Equally important to Professor 

Sawhney’s passion for biology is 

his compassion for his students. 

He truly cares for them and wants 

them to achieve, not only in his 

biology classes, but in life. A former 

graduate student wrote: “He always 

took a personal interest in his 

students, ensuring newcomers to the 

city/country were welcomed and 

comfortable. A central gathering table 

was a focal part of the laboratory. This 

provided a relaxed atmosphere and 

encouraged the interchange between 

people of different cultural and 

religious backgrounds, thus providing 

more than just a scientific education”. 

A biology colleague put it this way, 

“Beyond the actual technique of 

teaching, I believe that Vipen’s attitude 

toward his students is the major factor 

contributing to his efforts. He treats 

them with respect and in every way 

encourages them to expend their best 

effort to obtain the maximum benefit 

from their work. His approach to them 

is open and friendly and he is always 

ready to offer help and support to 

anyone who experiences difficulties.” 

Vipen Sawhney is a truly gifted 

teacher. But perhaps more importantly, 

he is a fine human being. He is kind 

and thoughtful, and always strives to 

improve the lives of those around him.

1990. In her academic life, Dr. Vargo 

teaches introductory and senior 

undergraduate courses, specializing 

in British romanticism. Her research 

interests include women writers of 

the Romantic period, especially Mary 

Shelley’s writings. 

In addition to enhancing the academic 

environment of the University of 

Saskatchewan, Dr. Vargo has made 

an exceptional contribution to 

literacy in the province and beyond. 

Her interest in literacy began in 

Toronto where she served as a 

literacy worker for a communitybased 

learning centre. She also 

volunteered with an adult learning 

program in Peterborough, Ontario. 

Upon her arrival in Saskatoon, 

Dr. Vargo joined READ Saskatoon and 

has served as a tutor for the past 17 

years. She has served on the board 

of directors and twice assumed the 

presidency of the organization. She 

was involved with the Word Whiz 

fundraiser for the Saskatchewan 

Literacy Foundation and served on the 

board of the Saskatchewan Literacy 

Network. In 1999, she received the 

Saskatchewan Literacy Award of Merit 

for her volunteerism and in 2004 was 

awarded the Canada Post Literacy 

Award as an educator. 

Dr. Vargo has been described 

as “energetic, inspirational and 

indefatigable in her dedication to 

literacy.” Others have said that “she 

brings a deep understanding of the 

complexities of literacy and of human 

justice to the way she works with 

learners and to the way she helps 

organizations develop respectful 

and fair policies and practices for 

volunteers and staff.” One of her 

students said “I am so proud of the 

person that I am today. I know with 

my whole heart that it has everything 

to do with Lisa Vargo.” She has 

demonstrated a sustained commitment 

to use her expertise in ways that 

engage individuals and groups beyond 

the borders of the campus, and she has 

enhanced the University’s reputation 

in exceptional ways. 

Dr. Vargo’s outreach and engagement 

activities have had substantial impact 

and long-term significance, and she 

is truly deserving of the University of 

Saskatchewan’s Award for Distinction 

in Outreach and Engagement. 


President’s Service Award 

Val Arnault-Pelletier 

The numbers tell the story—in 

2000, the Native Access Program to 

Nursing (NAPN) at the University of 

Saskatchewan supported 58 Aboriginal 

students. This year, that number 

doubled, to 117, more than any other 

nursing education program in Canada. 

People who have watched this growth 

say it would not have happened 

without Val Arnault-Pelletier. 

Arnault-Pelletier, a Cree woman who 

is a member of Beardy’s Okemasis 

First Nation, has served for the past 

10 years as lead student advisor in 

the Native Access Program in the 

College of Nursing (NAPN). Her work 

managing the program and expanding 

the vision of increased numbers of 

Aboriginal people in health‐care 

careers and balanced, healthy 

Aboriginal communities has earned 

Arnault-Pelletier the University’s 

President’s Service Award. 

A graduate of Loon Lake High 

School and the Saskatoon Business 

College, Arnault-Pelletier came 

to the University in 1994. Among 

her achievements in NAPN is the 

development of valuable relationships 

between the University and the 

community, all of which benefit the 

program as well as the students who 

become part of the circle of support. 

Recently, she has been engaged in 

expanding NAPN to include students 

from the College of Medicine, which 

is dedicated to increasing the number 

of Aboriginal physicians. As a result, 

NAPN is now known as Native Access 

Program to Nursing/Medicine or 

NAPN/M. 

Those who know Arnault‐Pelletier 

describe her as tenacious and creative 

in seeking out funding for the program 

and its projects. Her work has 

earned both Arnault-Pelletier and the 

University a national and international 

profile. She is sought after to consult 

with organizations dedicated, as she is, 

to recruiting and retaining Aboriginal 

students and has been a conference 

presenter at local and regional events. 

While recruiting is one aspect of her 

work, ensuring students continue 

through their training and into careers 

is also a focus for Arnault-Pelletier. She 

and the NAPN staff provide a great 

deal of support to students throughout 

their education, including culturally 

appropriate counselling, academic 

advising, and financial, personal and 

academic advocacy. This work also 

encompasses a few international 

students who are in need of a 

community with which to identify. 

Always a person who looks to the 

future, Arnault-Pelletier is working 

on funding proposals, updating the 

NAPN/M website to maximize its 

recruiting potential, and expanding 

the program’s database with an 

eye to providing better quality 

student services. One of her recent 

initiatives is a collaborative project 

with Muskoday First Nation to start a 

summer science camp at the U of S for 

Aboriginal students. 

The numbers do tell the story, but 

they are only one of many stories that 

demonstrate why Val Arnault-Pelletier 

is such a deserving recipient of the 

President’s Service Award. 


Governor General’s Academic Medals 

These medals are awarded to the undergraduate student and graduate student with the highest academic standing. 

Gold Medal 

TARA GARIEPY 

Tara Gariepy was born in Montreal, 

Quebec in 1974. Tara received a 

Bachelor of Science in Biology in 

1998 from Concordia University 

in Montreal. She pursued graduate 

studies at Simon Fraser University 

(Burnaby, British Columbia) where 

she studied molecular diagnostics and 

epidemiology of fungal pathogens. Tara 

received a Masters of Pest Management 

degree in 2002, and won the B.P. 

Beirne Prize in Pest Management. 

Tara then worked at CABI Europe- 

Switzerland as a project entomologist 

on a variety of insect biological control 

programmes. In 2003, Tara started 

her Ph.D. research in the Department 

of Biology at the University of 

Saskatchewan. She was the recipient 

of the Margaret Mackay Scholarship 

and an NSERC Canada Graduate 

Scholarship. Tara completed her 

Doctor of Philosophy degree in 2007. 

Tara’s thesis research presents some 

of the novel ways in which molecular 

techniques can be used in classical 

biological control programmes for 

insect pests. Molecular diagnostic 

techniques help address some of the 

key ecological questions that arise 

when exotic biological control agents 

are imported into a new environment. 

Techniques that allow a better 

understanding of trophic and guild 

interactions among natural enemies 

will improve the success and safety 

of biological control programmes for 

economically important pests. 

Tara has been awarded an NSERC 

post-doctoral fellowship, and will 

continue research on molecular 

diagnostics in basic and applied 

ecology.

Walter C. Murray First U of S President – 1908-1937 

Following are excperts from a speech 

delivered in 1946 by Grant MacEwan, 

former Professor of Animal Husbandry at 

the U of S: 

“I don’t suppose anybody left a more vivid 

mark upon the youthful face of Western 

Canada than the late Walter C. Murray. 

It wasn’t just what he did but it was the 

“Murray way” he had of doing it that 

made him loved. He distinguished himself 

as a philosopher and he was a great 

educator; yes, but more than that, he was 

distinguished for his tremendous capacity 

for friendship; he was a great Canadian. 

Walter Charles Murray was born at 

Studholm in King’ s County, New 

Brunswick, on May 12, 1866. From the 

local schools, young Murray went to the 

University of New Brunswick and graduated 

in 1886, a distinguished gold medalist. He 

was awarded a scholarship which permitted 

him to pursue graduate studies overseas and 

he elected philosophy at the University of 

Edinburgh. Leaving Edinburgh he travelled 

in Europe and studied in Berlin and then 

returned to become Professor of Philosophy 

at his own University of New Brunswick. 

Dalhousie University wanted him and got 

him in 1892, and there he remained until 

1908 when he accepted the challenge of 

the new North West. 

Murray had a vision of a provincial 

University dedicated to service, a vision 

of a peoples’ University. It was to be the 

servant of an agricultural area, conducting 

useful research, and turning out able 

leaders; and raising cultural standards. 

Dr. Murray’s relationship to his students was 

Walter Murray in his office, 1937. A-5537 

extremely happy. He got along well with 

them. He could call most of them by name 

and actually he knew a great deal about the 

problems confronting them individually. 

No one enjoyed good humor more than 

Murray and there was no lack of originality 

in his own. The first two dormitories 

on his campus, Saskatchewan Hall and 

Qu’Appelle Hall, were called after two 

rivers in the province. He threatened to 

call the next one Carrot Hall. It was his 

observation that “the modern pastime 

known as necking had done more to 

discourage the habit of tobacco chewing 

than a thousand years of reform.” 

In training, Walter Murray was a 

philosopher but all through the years, 

nothing gave him greater satisfaction than 

his associations with agriculture. In the 

formative years, he conferred with Dean 

Rutherford in the planning of the University 

barns and the laying out of the fields. And 

he watched the horses and cattle and sheep, 

and pigs. He loved the growing things; he 

enjoyed nothing more than to stroll through 

the barns and talk to the horses. 

And while he had that great interest in 

animals, he had a great and sympathetic 

love for people. If there was a Santa Claus in 

Saskatoon, his other name was Murray, and 

in those years of depression, no one will 

ever know how much aid and assistance he 

gave, and nearly always anonymously. 

When Walter Murray died on March 23, 

1945, age 79, men and women in all 

provinces and in all walks of life, mourned 

his going. They mourned the passing of one 

of God’s gentlemen, a noble Canadian, a 

man who loved his fellows and lived to 

make Canada a better place.”

46th Canadian Infantry Battalion 1914-1918 

A memorial stone and plaque honouring the memory 

of those who served with the 46th Canadian Infantry 

Battalion (South Saskatchewan), Canadian Expeditionary 

Force, 1914-1918, rests under a tree on the northeast 

corner of the Bowl. “Designed by a well known sculptor 

of Winnipeg”, it was presented to the University 

at a solemn ceremony in Convocation Hall on 

November 11, 1933. 

The Great War exacted a heavy toll on the U of S. Of 

the 336 students, faculty and staff who enlisted, 67 

“passed out of the sight of man by the path of duty and 

self‐sacrifice”. 

More than 100 more were wounded and 33 were 

awarded medals of valour. The School of Engineering 

closed its doors for the 1916-1917 session when the 

faculty and students enlisted en masse. 

Formed in February of 1915, the 46th Canadian 

Infantry Battalion (South Saskatchewan ) was to have a 

strength of 600 men. Its ranks were filled primarily with 

Saskatchewan youth, many via the U of S. 

The history of the 196th Western Universities Battalion No. 5 Platoon, pictured 

above in 1916, was brief. Once in England it was broken up to reinforce existing 

units. A high portion of the recruits eventually found themselves in the officers’ 

ranks. Others found themselves assigned to Saskatchewan dominated 46th—the 

“Suicide Battalion.” A-1130 

Also known as the “Suicide Battalion”, it fought in some 

of the bloodiest encounters of the war. Reinforcements 

were constantly needed as battle after battle decimated 

its ranks. Of the 5,374 men in the 46th Battalion, 4,917 

were either killed or wounded. 

A particularly costly battle was Passchendaele, where 

there were 403 casualties from the Battalion’s strength of 

600 men. With the end of the war came demobilization 

and the end of 46th Battalion. The soldiers became 

veterans and returned to civilian life. Many re-enrolled or 

entered the University for the first time. 

Many others did not return. Among those honoured on 

the plaque are Harold Blair and Reginald Batemen, two 

members of faculty killed in France.

A pioneer in nuclear physics research 

In 1999, the University of Saskatchewan learned it would be home to the largest scientific project ever undertaken in Canada: the 

Canadian Light Source (CLS). The announcement generated a great deal of excitement about the University’s future as a world leader in 

research and synchrotron science. But it is important to note that the building of the CLS and the selection of our campus as its home 

were not random events, but the result of a series of historic developments on campus. 

The Department of Physics early on had built for itself a 

reputation based upon experimentation and innovation. 

The post-war period saw the U of S 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 (Linac) 

was announced in the fall of 1961, it was portrayed as the 

next logical step on the University’s research path. The 

80-foot electron accelerator tube was to create energy six 

times that of the betatron. 

Open House at the Linear Accelerator on campus, Nov. 8, 1964. A-8643 

The cost of the $1,750,000 Linac 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.

The greatest U of S football squad 

As each new football season begins and the hopes for another 

championship are high, many a fan casts their mind back to 

the glories of years past. Which version of the gridiron Huskies 

was our greatest 

To many the 1998 Vanier Cup championship team would 

be the prime candidate, but according to an article in the 

November 2, 1922 Sheaf, it was the 1914 team, Champions of 

Northern Saskatchewan. 

Football, called rugby at the time, began to be played on 

campus in the 1911-12 season. The game was regionally 

very popular, with the U of S being only one of several 

Saskatoon‐based teams. The 1914-15 squad was the first 

official varsity team, although inter-university play did not 

begin until 1922. 

The 1914 team had a splendid season, only to suffer a loss 

(called “a valuable lesson”) to Regina in the provincial final. 

The Regina Leader describes it as follows: 

“Though vanquished, the students were by no means 

disgraced, the plucky showing which they put up against their 

more experienced rivals resulting in giving the Regina fans what 

was conceded to be the best game of the season. Holding the 

local champions scoreless during the first quarter, the visitors 

combined confidence with pluck, and, although they were 

gradually mowed down by their heavier and infinitely betterschooled 

opponents, they stuck to the fight with grim and 

determined obstinacy that was deserving of something better 

than a scoreless effort.” 

They were, however, not destined to become a football 

dynasty. The conflict in Europe depleted their ranks and 

scattered the survivors. The 1922 Sheaf asked the question 

which Huskie fans ask every year, “Can we produce another 

squad of winners”

Lights out at Eleven: Life in Residence 

The first student residence was completed on the 

University of Saskatchewan campus in 1912. The 

University had made a decision to have a residence 

rather than fraternity system for their student housing, 

believing residences were more democratic. Until the 

1970s the residences were segregated. Men and women 

were only allowed to visit one another during certain 

hours, and strict curfews were in place. 

The following is a list of rules that were in place in the 

women’s residences in 1948—50 years ago. 

From top: 

Escaping from Saskatchewan Hall, 

1950. Greystone. A-6249 

Singing around a piano in 

Saskatchewan Hall. Greystone 1939 

Saskatchewan Hall Dining Room 

during meal time, 1920. A-2148 

1. Silence is essential during study hours, from 7:30 to 

10 p.m. Only important telephone messages will be 

delivered during these hours. 

2. After 10:30 p.m., the Residence must be quiet. 

3. The doors will be locked at 11 p.m. Girls going out in 

the evening must, before they leave, sign their names 

and the hour at which they expect to return. 

Each Senior and Junior will be granted 10 late passes; 

each sophomore and Freshette, five per month. No 

late leave granted on Sunday. 

4. Permission to spend the night out of Residence is 

granted only in special circumstances, and under the 

following conditions: For all students, the parent’s 

written permission must be given to the Warden to 

allow students to stay with specified hostesses. 

5. Girls may entertain gentlemen in the Common Room 

between the hours of 1 and 2 p.m.; 5:30 and 11 p.m. 

6. The piano may be used from 12:45 to 1:30 p.m. and 

from 5 to 7:30 p.m. every day, and after 12:45 p.m. 

on Saturdays, and after 11 a.m. on Sundays. 

7. It is forbidden to talk out of the windows.
