Members of the Shuttleworth Mathematical Society.

Bio/Historical Note: The Shuttleworth Mathematical Society was designed to give students interested in mathematics an opportunity to meet in an informal setting, and was open to all students who had completed one math class and were registered in a second. The Society was originally formed in November 1916 as the University Mathematical Society. It was renamed in honour of Roy Eugene Shuttleworth, a brilliant honours student who had been the first president of the organization. Shuttleworth was born in 1896 in Leavenworth, Washington. He studied mathematics and physics at the University of Saskatchewan. He joined the Army in the spring of 1917 and served as a private with the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (Eastern Ontario Regiment). Shuttleworth died in combat during World War I on 26 August 1918 at Vimy Ridge, France. His name is inscribed on the Vimy Memorial. The society has been inactive for many years.

In 1940 he was appointed dean of Regina College, retiring in 1950. His research work at the University of Saskatchewan was published in a score of scientific papers. Dr. Basterfield's interests extended to the other sciences and, further still, to the history of the sciences and to their relation to such other studies as history, philosophy and religion. At the time of his 1954 death in Moncton, New Brunswick at age 59, Dr. Basterfield was on a lecture tour through the Maritimes for the Chemical Institute of Canada. “Stewart” Basterfield appears on his headstone.
