A message from<br />

President Peter MacKinnon<br />

I want to express a very warm welcome to the graduates, families and friends who join us today.<br />

<strong>Convocation</strong> is the <strong>University</strong>’s most important ceremony, for it is here that we celebrate the<br />

accomplishments <strong>of</strong> our students and the contributions <strong>of</strong> their loved ones to their success. You<br />

should be proud <strong>of</strong> this day, and <strong>of</strong> the commitment and sacrifice that it represents.<br />

We at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> salute you – our graduates – and we extend to you our<br />

very best wishes for the future. We hope that you will stay in touch with us through our <strong>University</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> alumni family, and that we will have the opportunity to welcome you ‘home’ to<br />

our campus many times in the years ahead.<br />

Warmest congratulations!<br />

<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> 1 2001 Spring <strong>Convocation</strong>


<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong><br />

2001 Spring <strong>Convocation</strong><br />

The word “<strong>Convocation</strong>” arises from the Latin “con”<br />

meaning “together,” and “vocare” meaning “to call.”<br />

Our <strong>Convocation</strong> ceremony is a calling together <strong>of</strong> the<br />

new graduates <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>,<br />

symbolizing the historical practice <strong>of</strong> calling together all<br />

former graduates. In current<br />

times, the major functions <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Convocation</strong> are the election <strong>of</strong><br />

representatives to <strong>University</strong><br />

governing bodies and the<br />

admission <strong>of</strong> candidates to<br />

degrees. The Chancellor, elected<br />

by convocation as its Chair, is<br />

the highest <strong>of</strong>ficial and spokesperson<br />

<strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong>.<br />

The <strong>Convocation</strong> ceremony<br />

marks the transition from the<br />

role <strong>of</strong> student to the holder <strong>of</strong> a<br />

degree with its accompanying<br />

rights and privileges. Candidates<br />

for degrees, known as<br />

graduands, having completed<br />

the requirements <strong>of</strong> a course <strong>of</strong><br />

study, are recommended by<br />

college faculties and the<br />

<strong>University</strong> Council to receive<br />

degrees from the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong>.<br />

The ceremony, solemnized in the presence <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>University</strong> community and family and friends <strong>of</strong> the<br />

graduands, consists <strong>of</strong> three parts: a procession marking<br />

the leaving <strong>of</strong> the old status and entering the new; the<br />

President’s statement to the graduands, the Secretary’s<br />

petition and the Chancellor’s<br />

consent for their admission;<br />

followed by individual presentation<br />

by their Dean and admission by the<br />

Chancellor to the degrees to which<br />

they are entitled. As graduates are<br />

admitted to their degrees, a<br />

graduation hood, which has a<br />

colour symbolizing a particular<br />

degree, is placed over each<br />

graduate’s head. A banner<br />

displaying the <strong>University</strong> crest is<br />

hung above the stage, as a symbol<br />

<strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong>’s authority to<br />

confer degrees.<br />

We honour and welcome this year’s graduates!<br />

Following the conferring <strong>of</strong> degrees<br />

and acceptance <strong>of</strong> each graduate as<br />

a member <strong>of</strong> <strong>Convocation</strong>, a<br />

reception is held – a celebration on<br />

the occasion <strong>of</strong> the formal transition<br />

from the role <strong>of</strong> learner to the role<br />

<strong>of</strong> producer and contributor in the<br />

field <strong>of</strong> the graduate’s choice.<br />

Master Teacher Award<br />

Keith Taylor<br />

The Master Teacher Award was established to<br />

emphasize the importance <strong>of</strong> teaching at the<br />

<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> and to recognize and honour<br />

those faculty members who excel in teaching. The<br />

Selection Committee has named<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Keith Taylor <strong>of</strong> the Department<br />

<strong>of</strong> Mathematics to be the recipient<br />

<strong>of</strong> this prestigious award at this<br />

<strong>Convocation</strong>. Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Taylor earned<br />

his Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Science in Mathematics<br />

at St. Francis Xavier <strong>University</strong> in 1971<br />

and his Ph.D. at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

Alberta in 1976, joining the Department<br />

<strong>of</strong> Mathematics at this university in<br />

1977. In July, 1987, he was promoted<br />

to Full Pr<strong>of</strong>essor.<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Taylor is the finest example<br />

<strong>of</strong> what a university pr<strong>of</strong>essor ought to<br />

be. He is not content to restrict his<br />

expertise to the specialties <strong>of</strong> his<br />

discipline but is eager to share his love<br />

<strong>of</strong> mathematics with all seekers. <strong>Students</strong> or scholars<br />

or laymen <strong>of</strong> any stripe, Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Taylor meets each at<br />

just the right level to create a challenge unperturbed by<br />

discomfort.<br />

A glance at Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Taylor’s curriculum vitae confirms<br />

his achievements as an investigative researcher. Having<br />

published over 30 papers in refereed journals, he reveals<br />

his standing among his peers by the many invited<br />

lectures he has presented all over the world. He has,<br />

moreover, been appointed or elected to several <strong>of</strong>ficial<br />

positions in the Canadian Mathematics Society,<br />

including Vice-President and Meeting Director.<br />

But it is as a teacher that Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Taylor truly excels.<br />

In his more than twenty years here, Taylor’s Readiness<br />

Course provided an avenue for incoming<br />

students to raise their skills to<br />

their level courses. His sensitivity to<br />

issues <strong>of</strong> accessibility led to the<br />

development <strong>of</strong> interactive learning<br />

modules on the World Wide Web,<br />

accessed thousands <strong>of</strong> times a day.<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Taylor is also the faculty<br />

member responsible for the Math Help<br />

Centre. His able leadership has<br />

developed the Centre into an attractive<br />

resource for our students. His<br />

involvement with enrichment programmes<br />

in the school system has<br />

stimulated many young people, and he<br />

has worked tirelessly to raise the<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> mathematics among Native<br />

communities in the North. Yet, after all this, he modestly<br />

declares that he is only doing what any pr<strong>of</strong>essor ought<br />

to do.<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Keith Taylor has shown himself to be an<br />

excellent emissary <strong>of</strong> his discipline, touching everyone<br />

he encounters with his serene fervour for mathematics.<br />

With the dedication he has displayed and the legacy he<br />

is building, the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> is indeed<br />

fortunate to have such a fine teacher on its staff. He is<br />

most deserving <strong>of</strong> this honour.<br />

on Western Canadian agriculture. Early<br />

in his career, he helped establish the<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Feed Testing Laboratory.<br />

This initiative brought scientific nutrition information and<br />

ration formulation to the farm.<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Christensen was one <strong>of</strong> the first nutritionists to<br />

appreciate the extent and economic impact <strong>of</strong> trace mineral<br />

deficiencies in cattle in Western Canada. Trace mineral<br />

supplementation is now widespread, primarily as the result<br />

<strong>of</strong> a 10-year research program led by Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Christensen.<br />

More recently, he has been active in the development <strong>of</strong><br />

new, high-value feedstuffs based on <strong>Saskatchewan</strong><br />

commodities for use on Canadian farms and for export.<br />

His research is critical to the development <strong>of</strong> new export<br />

markets for <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> feed products.<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Christensen teaches nutrition and dairy<br />

management to undergraduate, graduate, vocational and<br />

veterinary students. Forty-one graduate students have<br />

completed graduate degrees under his supervision, and he<br />

currently supervises seven graduate<br />

students.<br />

He has published 115 refereed articles<br />

and presented 46 major invited papers at<br />

national and international conferences, as<br />

well as over 200 invited lectures around<br />

the world.<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Christensen has been involved<br />

with most <strong>of</strong> the animal science producer<br />

groups in <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> and has served<br />

on the province’s Advisory Committee on<br />

Animal Science. He is a Fellow <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Agricultural Institute <strong>of</strong> Canada and has<br />

received their International Recognition<br />

Award.<br />

Among the other awards he has<br />

received is the J. W. George Ivany<br />

Internationalization Award, which Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Christensen<br />

received for his work in bringing U <strong>of</strong> S agricultural research<br />

to the world. He has been active as a lecturer, consultant<br />

and project manager in over 20 countries in Africa, Central<br />

America, the Middle East, and Asia.<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Christensen excels in teaching, research,<br />

technology transfer and extension, industry and community<br />

development, and international development. He has<br />

contributed greatly to agriculture not only in <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>,<br />

but around the world and has been a highly effective<br />

international ambassador for the <strong>University</strong> and the<br />

province. He is a worthy recipient <strong>of</strong> this award.<br />

within the Division to become secretary<br />

to the Director, later increasing her<br />

responsibilities as a program co-ordinator.<br />

Since 1979 she has co-ordinated<br />

the Business Administration Certificate<br />

personified what it means to give service ... She has been a<br />

leader, a part-time student, an advocate for part-time, adult,<br />

and distance learners, a defender <strong>of</strong> the disenfranchised,<br />

and a tireless worker on many boards and committees both<br />

within the <strong>University</strong> and outside <strong>of</strong> it.”<br />

Her co-workers remark that “students come first” with<br />

Grace. They also say she has been “a great ambassador to<br />

the business community”, “a delight to work with”, and<br />

has “a superior intellect that she demonstrated in all the<br />

work that fell within her responsibility”. “Grace’s<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essionalism, dedication, and commitment to the<br />

<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> have led to<br />

the enhancement <strong>of</strong> the Extension<br />

Division programs.”<br />

Besides her main work in Extension,<br />

Grace has served the <strong>University</strong> and the<br />

community as an active executive<br />

member and former President <strong>of</strong> the U<br />

<strong>of</strong> S Administrative & Supervisory<br />

Personnel Association (ASPA), Prairie<br />

representative and newsletter editor for<br />

the Canadian Association for Distance<br />

Education (CADE), national board<br />

member <strong>of</strong> the Canadian Association for<br />

Adult Education, a lay member <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Certified General Accountants (CGA)<br />

provincial board, board member <strong>of</strong> the<br />

volunteer with many other organizations<br />

such as the <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Action Committee for the Status<br />

<strong>of</strong> Women, the Saskatoon Community Clinic, Planned<br />

Parenthood, the Northern <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> International<br />

Children’s Festival, and Jeux Canada Games.<br />

The U <strong>of</strong> S established the President’s Service Award in<br />

1995 to recognize exceptional contributions by nonacademic<br />

staff. It honours individuals who have enhanced<br />

the work environment by providing extraordinary service<br />

to the <strong>University</strong> community, who have inspired, supported<br />

and respected the endeavors <strong>of</strong> others, and who have<br />

achieved this distinction through dedication and<br />

commitment.<br />

received the following: the W.R. (Buck) Staples<br />

Scholarship, the Amoco Canada Engineering Awards,<br />

PanCanadian Petroleum Ltd. Scholarship, the Chevron<br />

Canada Resources Scholarship just to name a few.<br />

Mark Francis Tachie (Gold Medal)<br />

Mark Francis Tachie was born at Kpando in Ghana. He<br />

entered the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Science and Technology in<br />

1989 following an outstanding secondary school career at<br />

Bishop Herman Secondary School, and graduated with B.Sc.<br />

(First Class Honours) in Mechanical Engineering in 1993.<br />

He entered the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> in 1996, and<br />

completed his M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering one year<br />

later. He successfully defended his Ph.D. in November 2000.<br />

He is married to Rose-Marie, and they have a one-year old<br />

son, Sedem.<br />

In terms <strong>of</strong> engineering research, Dr. Tachie is keenly<br />

interested in complex near-wall turbulent flows. As part <strong>of</strong><br />

his M.Sc. program, he implemented a methodology for<br />

performing concentration measurements in quasi-two<br />

dimensional shallow turbulent wake flow using digital<br />

processing <strong>of</strong> video images <strong>of</strong> dye patterns. For his Ph.D.<br />

research, he used a state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art two-component laser<br />

Doppler anemometer to obtain comprehensive velocity<br />

measurements in smooth and rough wall turbulent boundary<br />

layers and turbulent wall jets. This research is an attempt<br />

to clarify conflicting opinions in the literature by clearly<br />

demonstrating that wall roughness in a boundary layer has<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>ound effects on the turbulence structure outside the<br />

roughness sublayer. His Ph.D research is also the first to<br />

provide a complete rough wall data set for the turbulent<br />

wall jet. Dr. Tachie has published his research extensively,<br />

including 12 journal papers (in print or accepted for<br />

publication) and 7 papers in conference proceedings to date.<br />

Dr. Tachie was awarded a <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong><br />

Graduate Scholarship (1997-1999), Natural Sciences and<br />

Engineering Research Council (NSERC) PSGB Scholarship<br />

(1999-2000), and NSERC Post-doctoral Fellowship tenable<br />

for two years. He was also the 1999 recipient <strong>of</strong> the Clarence<br />

F. Forsberg Memorial Scholarship. During his graduate<br />

program, he served as a sessional lecturer in the Department<br />

<strong>of</strong> Chemical Engineering in 1998 and in the Department <strong>of</strong><br />

Mechanical Engineering in 2000. As part <strong>of</strong> his NSERC postdoctoral<br />

fellowship at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Toronto, Dr. Tachie<br />

is conducting measurements at the interface <strong>of</strong> porous<br />

media using particle image velocimetry.<br />

History <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong><br />

The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> was established by<br />

the <strong>University</strong> Act on April 3, 1907, only 18 months<br />

after <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> became a province.<br />

The people <strong>of</strong> the province, as well as their<br />

government, were instrumental in shaping the new<br />

<strong>University</strong>. The provincial government requested all<br />

residents who were graduates <strong>of</strong> a Canadian or British<br />

university to form the first <strong>Convocation</strong> and elect the<br />

<strong>University</strong>’s Senate. The Senate, in turn, elected five<br />

members to the first Board <strong>of</strong> Governors, while the<br />

province appointed three. In 1908, the Board selected<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Walter Charles Murray, <strong>of</strong> Dalhousie<br />

<strong>University</strong>, as the first President.<br />

Classes in Arts and Science began in September, 1909,<br />

in downtown Saskatoon. Construction <strong>of</strong> the campus<br />

began in 1910 and the first buildings were occupied<br />

in the fall <strong>of</strong> 1912. They included the College Building<br />

(Administration Building), <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Hall (a<br />

student residence), residences for the Dean <strong>of</strong><br />

Agriculture and the President, a laboratory for<br />

Engineering, and a number <strong>of</strong> farm buildings.<br />

From the beginning, the <strong>University</strong> established an<br />

emphasis on research and teaching in a context <strong>of</strong><br />

community service, and encouraged co-operation<br />

among departments and divisions in tackling common<br />

problems. The development <strong>of</strong> rust-resistant strains<br />

<strong>of</strong> wheat, for example, initiated by the <strong>University</strong> and<br />

federal and provincial research agencies, has been <strong>of</strong><br />

untold value to the prairie economy.<br />

In 1909, the <strong>University</strong> had 70 students and 5<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essors, including the President. Today there are<br />

over 18,000 students studying in 13 colleges and 1<br />

school. This is the only university in Canada with five<br />

health-science colleges and a major teaching hospital<br />

on the same campus. The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers Spring<br />

and Summer Session, Evening Courses, Independent<br />

Studies courses and Distance Education as well as<br />

on-campus daytime courses.<br />

The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> overlooks the South<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong> River from a 755 hectare site. The<br />

campus consists <strong>of</strong> 147 hectares with the remaining<br />

being a research park, the <strong>University</strong> farm and<br />

experimental plots.<br />

Most early buildings on campus are Collegiate Gothic<br />

in style and are constructed in a local dolomite,<br />

popularly known as greystone. Subsequently<br />

constructed buildings also have greystone, as well<br />

as Tyndall stone (pre-cut slabs quarried in Tyndall,<br />

Manitoba), concrete, brick, glass and aggregate<br />

facings.<br />

The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers many points <strong>of</strong> interest for<br />

visitors: the Diefenbaker Canada Centre, Museum <strong>of</strong><br />

Natural Sciences, Museum <strong>of</strong> Antiquities, Biology<br />

Museum, Pharmaceutical Museum, the Observatory,<br />
