Dr. Doug Knott - Portrait

Head and shoulders image of Dr. Doug Knott, associate professor, Department of Crop Science.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Douglas Ronald Knott was born in 1927 in New Westminster, British Columbia. He obtained a BSA from the University of British Columbia in 1948, followed by a Master’s and a PhD from the University of Wisconsin in 1952, specializing in plant genetics. That same year Dr. Knott joined the Department of Field Husbandry at the University of Saskatchewan. From 1965-1975 he was head of the Crop Sciences Department. Dr. Knott also served as Acting Dean of Agriculture in 1979 and again in 1989. Dr. Knott was Associate Dean of Research from 1988-1993. In 1986 he was named as the first holder of the W.J. White Chair in Crop Science. He was instrumental in developing the Crop Development Centre at the U of S. Dr. Knott became an internationally recognized expert in wheat stem and leaf rust resistance. He developed methods for identifying genes that can be used in breeding rust resistant wheats, and an innovative way to transfer genes from wild wheats to domesticated varieties. Dr. Knott’s book, The Wheat Rusts: Breeding for Resistance, is highly regarded by specialists. He also developed several varieties of durum: Stewart 63 durum in 1963; Arcola in 1983; Sceptre in 1985; and Plenty in 1990. His skills were in demand internationally: he was wheat research director for the Zambia-Canada Project from 1983 to 1988, and was a research consultant and lecturer in Brazil, China, and Kenya. Dr. Knott was inducted into the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame in 1995, and in 1999 was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada for his contributions to agricultural science. Dr. Knott contributed to the development of soccer, track and field, and tennis in Saskatoon and was an organizer and the chairman of the Saskatoon Field House committee when its construction was completed in 1979. Dr. Knott died in 2009.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. George Shepherd was born in 1890 in Canterbury, England. George and his father immigrated to Canada in 1908, settling near Davidson, Saskatchewan, that fall. The following year, his mother, sister and five brothers joined them in Canada. In 1913 Dr. Shepherd took up a purchased homestead 80 kilometres south of Maple Creek. The land there nourished his interest in the early history of the Northwest Mounted Police and Fort Walsh. Working with the late Commissioner Stuart Taylor Wood, Dr. Shepherd helped with the purchase of the fort for raising police horses. As a part of the community of cattlemen in the Cypress Hills, his knowledge of the history of the West grew. After years of ranching and farming, Dr. Shepherd and his family retired to Saskatoon in 1950. He quickly became active in the life of the city and the nearby university. Three years after moving to Saskatoon, Dr. Shepherd was made curator of the fledgling Western Development Museum, housed in a re-assembled Second World War hangar on 11th Street West. He greeted many thousands of visitors, including Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh in 1959. In 1965 Dr. Shepherd published his first book, West of Yesterday, followed in 1967 by Brave Heritage. He also authored many articles in western Canadian history for a variety of periodicals and magazines. In 1972 when the WDM Saskatoon moved from 11th Street West to Lorne Avenue, the Museum’s collection of library and heritage resources was officially named the George Shepherd Library. He altered his bus route, but not his routine, arriving every weekday morning at the new Museum, anticipating his day of greeting visitors from near and far. In recognition of his years of service to Saskatchewan, Dr. Shepherd was presented with an honourary Doctor of Laws degree in 1976 by the University of Saskatchewan. In 1977 he received an Honourary Scroll from the Government of Saskatchewan. He was honoured that same year when a seniors’ high-rise at 525-24th Street East in Saskatoon was named Shepherd Apartments. Until 87 years of age, Dr. Shepherd arrived faithfully at the Museum five days a week, ready to greet visitors and share stories of Saskatchewan. In October 1977, he said farewell to Museum work. George Shepherd died in February 1978.

Doris Hasell - Portrait

Head and shoulders image of Doris Hasell, professor, Home Economics and Art History.

Bio/Historical Note: Doris E. Hasell earned a BID [Bachelor of Interior Design] from the University of Manitoba Faculty of Architecture (1959) and an MEd in Art Education from the University of British Columbia (1990). She began her career at the University of Saskatchewan in 1962 as a special lecturer in Home Economics, and was promoted to assistant professor (1969) and associate professor (1974). Ms. Hasell continued to teach in the College of Home Economics until that college was phased out in 1990. She then joined the faculty of Art and Art History, where she had the rank of associate professor. She also served as acting head of that department (1993-1994). Ms. Hasell was an associate member of both Extension Division and the Curriculum Studies Department. She retired from the University in 1996. In addition to her work with the University, Ms. Hasell was extremely active within the community, serving as consultant on the interior design and/or renovation of several public buildings, including Saskatoon City Hospital; St. Philip’s Church; St. Joseph’s Church; St. James School; Loon Lake Union Hospital; Wakaw Union Hospital; North Battleford Comprehensive High School; Emmanuel and St. Chad; Grosvenor Park United Church; Holy Family Hospital, Prince Albert; and St. Andrew’s College. She has served as a consultant on international projects, has an extensive resume of invited lectures, and has over 40 publications to her credit (2021).

Murray Memorial Library - South Wing - Interior

View of the Serials reading room on the first floor. Tables and chairs in foreground; stacks and newspaper racks in background.

Bio/Historical Note: 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 in the late 1920s were ended by the start of the Great Depression; but 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 combination of provincial grants and University fundraising financed the construction of the Murray Memorial Library. The library was named after the University’s first President, Walter C. Murray. Designed by noted Regina architect Kioshi Izumi working under H.K. Black, Architect, it marked a change in campus architecture away from the more angular and elaborate Collegiate Gothic style to that of the less expensive cube. Building materials included granite at the entrance and Tyndall stone as a wall cladding and window trim. In addition to the library, the building housed the College of Law, an office of the Provincial Archives and a 105-seat lecture theatre equipped with the latest in audiovisual teaching aids. The most dramatic transformation took place between 1970 and 1976 when a six floor south wing was added along with an extensive renovation of the 1956 structure. Designed by BLM, Regina, the south wing was unlike any other building on campus. Clad in Tyndall stone panels made to look like concrete (through a "bush hammered" finish), the grey almost windowless building is industrial and utilitarian in appearance. The University's master plan required buildings in the core of campus to be clad in stone. However, the "bush hammered" finish was used since the Library addition was built during a period that saw the flowering of "Brutalist" Architecture, so called because of the wide use of exposed concrete. The new (south) wing, originally called the Main Library, was officially opened on 17 May 1974, and also became the home of the Department of Art and Art History, the College of Graduate Studies and the University Archives.

Bio/Historical Note: The oldest wing of the Health Sciences Building, the A Wing, dating to 1949, was originally the Medical College Building. The Health Sciences A Wing has heritage value as the cornerstone of the medical precinct at the university and was designed by architects Webster and Gilbert. The A Wing was renovated and opened in 2019. The B Wing was completed by 1971.
