Bio/historical note: Located south of the campus on Cumberland Avenue, The School For The Deaf opened in the fall of 1931. Built by the provincial Department of Education, it functioned as a residential school for students deemed too deaf to be accommodated in the public system. The U of S acquired the School from the province in the mid 1980s for a nominal fee. At the time of transfer, the building was renamed the R. J. D. Williams Building, honoring the school's long time chief supervisor.

Bio/Historical Note: The Saskatchewan Cancer and Medical Research Institute was officially opened on 10 May 1958 by Premier T.C. Douglas. Clad in locally quarried greystone with limestone panels, it was the.last of the buildings that constituted the University’s Medical Complex’s initial phase. Designed by Izumi, Arnott and Sugiyama and completed at a cost of $783,000, the building’s purpose was to provide shared accommodation for both general medical research and cancer specific investigations. Funding came from the federal and provincial governments and the provincial and national branches of the Canadian Cancer Society. A planned third floor was added in 1966. The building was "deconstructed" in 2009, with much of the building's material recycled including the greystone cladding for use with the E Wing that opened in 2013.
This fonds contains primarily material related to the interests and activities of J.F. Morgan during his career at the University of Saskatchewan.
