Bio/Historical Note: Dr. John Wendell Macleod was born in 1905 in Kingsbury, Ontario, and spent his formative years there. He graduated with his MD from McGill in 1929, winning the Holmes gold medal. After specialty training in gastroenterology, he practised in Montreal. During World War II Dr. Macleod served as an officer in the Royal Canadian Navy in Halifax. From 1945 to 1952 he practised internal medicine in Winnipeg. But change was imminent, in both his career and his profession. During the post-war years, a new perspective on patient care was emerging, one that emphasized social and cultural factors. To Dr. Macleod and others, these changes necessitated a major revision in medical education. Popularly known as Saskatchewan's Red Dean because of his progressive views and strong support of Canada's first medicare plan, Dr. Macleod was a charismatic pioneer in social medicine and medical education. He was an ardent believer in the social principles of health care. Dr. Macleod’s early awareness of the economic chasm that separated rich from poor provided the focal point of his career as first dean of medicine at the University of Saskatchewan - he taught that understanding the social, economic, and political world in which people lived was critical to good medical education and practice and made it the core of the curriculum. Dr. Macleod was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1980. He died in North Hero, Vermont on 10 June 2001 at age 96.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Rex Harold Schneider was born in Birnamwood, Wisconsin, took his higher education at Capital University and the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Columbus, Ohio, then his MA at Columbia University. After a few years as principal of high schools in Ohio, he became the first principal of Luther College in Regina in 1926, a position he held until August 1964. During these 38 years Dr. Schneider guided the development of Luther College as a residential high school and Junior College affiliated with the University of Saskatchewan. The college grew even during the difficult years of the economic depression followed by World War II and the institution was ready for expansion in the post war period. Dr. Schneider initiated the exchange of instructors and students in the University program between Luther College and Regina College. This resulted in having him at Regina College and the University from 1944 to 1960 as exchange professor of Psychology. From 1946-1964 he was president of the Canadian Lutheran World Relief which has been engaged in relief in all parts of the world and has helped 20,000 refugees to new homes in Canada. From 1956-1964 Dr. Schneider was a member of the Joint Union Committee established to complete the merger of three international Lutheran bodies resulting in the formation of the American Lutheran Church. His alma mater, Capital University, conferred an honourary doctor of laws degree upon him in 1942 in recognition of his services. The Regina Campus of the University of Saskatchewan also awarded him the same degree in 1965. Named in his honour is the Rex Schneider Auditorium at Luther College.
