Bio/Historical Note: Concern over high turnover of teachers in northern communities, and in particular the high drop-out rate for First Nations students, led to the establishment of a special course, first offered in the summer of 1961. EDIND 357, “The School Program in Indian and Northern Communities,” was offered in conjunction with the College of Education. The first instructor was Father André Renaud (1920-1988), OMI, who had been seconded from the Oblate Fathers’ Indian and Eskimo Education and Welfare Commission. Renaud was appointed to the Order of Canada in 1973. Renaud died in Saskatoon in 1988.

Taking a few classes a year, she earned a BA in 1929, and completed her PhD (1940) from the University of Washington during summer sessions. Timlin began lecturing in Economics at the University of Saskatchewan in 1935. She was promoted to full professor in 1950, and retired in 1959. Timlin was an authority on Keynesian economic theory, monetary policy and immigration. Among her many publications were "Keynesian Economics" (1942) and "Does Canada Need More People?" (1951). Following her retirement, the Canada Council granted her a special Fellowship to study Canadian immigration. Later, she was appointed research assistant with the Social Science Research Council of Canada and co-authored "The Social Sciences in Canada: Two Studies" (1968).
