Roger C. Carter, born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on 23 March 1922 received his early education in Victoria, British Columbia before attending the University of Saskatchewan where he earned a B.A. in 1945 and a LL.B. in 1947, both with distinction. In his final year of law he was awarded the Thomas Dowrick Brown Prize as the most distinguished member of the graduating class. Mr. Carter practised law in Saskatoon from 1949 until July of 1963 when he was appointed associate professor of law at the U of S. The following year he was promoted to professor. During his years of private practise he was a member of the Graham Royal Commission, special counsel for the Labour Relations Board, counsel for the Royal Commission inquiring into Prudential Trust mineral transactions, counsel for the Province of Saskatchewan before the MacPherson Royal Commission on Transportation and a member of the University's Board of Governors. In 1958 he was appointed Queen's Counsel.

From 1969 until 1974 Professor Carter served as Dean of the College of Law. During this time, Carter was instrumental in the creation of Saskatchewan's Legal Aid system and the Native Law Centre, of which he became the first director. In 1981 he was honoured by Queen's University with an LL.D. Dr. Carter retired in 1989 and passed away in 2009.

John Alexander Malcolm Shaw was born on 12 June 1885 in Woodburn, Ontario. He graduated from the Ontario Agricultural College in 1910 and served as an agricultural agent for the Great Northern Railways prior to accepting an appointment at the University of Saskatchewan as assistant professor of Animal Husbandry. In 1929 he was named Dean of Agriculture, a position he held until his resignation from the University in 1937. From 1935 to 1937, Shaw was a Commissioner of the Canadian Wheat Board; in 1937, he was appointed Director of the newly formed marketing service in the federal Department of Agriculture. In 1950 he became Chair of the Agricultural Prices Support Board; and from 1953 to 1955 he chaired the Royal Commission on Agriculture in Newfoundland. He retired in 1958. AM Shaw was one of the outstanding pioneers in Saskatchewan agriculture and played a leading role in the development of livestock breeding and of agricultural marketing in Canada. He died on 16 August 1974 in Ottawa, Ontario.

The office of President and Vice-Chancellor is the chief executive office of the University. The President has overall responsibility for the direction and supervision of the academic work of the university and its business affairs, and any other duties assigned by the Board of Governors (University Act, s.81). Between 1909 and 1949 the presidents had very broad powers; since that time various limitations have been placed on them (Hayden, p.10). The President is appointed by, and is responsible to, the Board of Governors. Presidents currently are appointed to 5-year terms, with the possibility of renewal. The Presidents to date have been: Walter Charles Murray (1908-1937), James S. Thomson (1937-1949), Walter P. Thompson (1949-1959), John W.T. Spinks (1959-1974), Robert W. Begg (1974-1980), Leo F. Kristjanson (1980-1989), Blaine A. Holmlund [acting] (1989-1990), J.W. George Ivany (1990-1999), and R. Peter MacKinnon (1999-).

Operating from 1969 to 1975 and reporting to the Principal, the Student Liaison Office was created by the University Administration as a mechanism to monitor student activities and act as a liaison between the administration and the students.

In 1967, as part of the administrative reorganization precipitated by the implementation of the one university two campus concept, the Board of Governors created the position of Dean of Students. The Dean was to be responsible for student counselling, the Student Health Centre, and the operating philosophy of student residences. Problems in the area of student-University relations were to be referred to the Dean's office for study and recommendation. R.A. Rennie, who was Director of Counselling and Student Affairs from 1958-1967, served as the only Dean of Students from 1967 until his death in 1973. With the creation of the University of Regina in 1974, the position of Dean of Students was made redundant.

In early 1909 it was announced that the University of Saskatchewan would be situated in Saskatoon on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River and the first group of buildings were opened in 1912. The current 755 hectare site includes 147 hectares of campus, 30 hectares of research park, and a large University Farm and Experimental Plot. The University also owns under lease a 52 hectare site on Emma Lake used for summer session classes in Biology and Art. The University of Saskatchewan owns and operates three research farms used primarily by the Colleges of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine. Charged with maintaining the building, grounds and physical plant was the Superintendent of Buildings, later the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, and from 1983 the Director (now Executive Director) of Physical Plant. In 1996 Physical Plant was renamed Division of Facilities Management. The following have served as Superintendent of Buildings: A.R. Grieg (1909-1937); W.E. Lovell (1937-1947); W.J. Robson (1947-1957); J.A. Wedgewood (1957-1969); A.D. Reed (1969- ).

Though the first recorded withdrawal from the University Library occurred in October 1909, nearly five decades passed before the Library had its own building. The early collection was housed either on the second floor of the College Building, later known as the Administration Building, or was scattered among a number of small departmental libraries. Plans for a new library building ended with the Depression; and a dramatically reduced acquisitions budget was offset by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation in 1933. In 1943 the University hired its first professional Librarian. A fire in the attic of the College Building in 1947 resulted in extensive water damage to the Library below. A combination of provincial grants and University fund raising financed the construction of the Murray Memorial Library, with space for the Provincial Archives, between 1954 and 1956. Over the next two decades the University Library System mirrored the expansion of the University in general and now includes a new main library building and branches in Education, Health Sciences, Law, Engineering, Geography/Physics, Thorvaldson, and Veterinary Medicine. The University Librarians have been: M.A. Morton, (1914-1940); J.M. Lothian, (1941-1943); T.R. Barcus, (1943-1945); D.C. Appelt, (1945-1979); N.A. Brown, (1979-1986); P.D. Wiens, (1986-1992); F.S. Winter [acting], (1992-1994); F.S. Winter, (1994- ).
