Image of Dr. Griff McKerracher, Professor and Head, Department of Psychiatry, dressed in a lab coat.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Donald Griffith (Griff) McKerracher was born in 1909 in Chatham, Ontario. He earned his MD in 1935 from the University of Toronto. Dr. McKerracher served his country in the Royal Canadian Army during World War II. T.C. Douglas, Premier of Saskatchewan, appointed him as director of Psychiatric Services in 1946. Dr. McKerracher introduced a comprehensive training program for psychiatric nursing. He became founding professor and chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the Medical College at the University of Saskatchewan. He had a major interest in psychiatric education and in improving both hospital and community care for patients. Dr. McKerracher published many papers, including the concept of a comprehensive unit in the general hospital, and emphasized the skillful use of community resources. Dr. McKerracher died in 1970 at age 60. The annual D, Griffith McKerracher Memorial Lecture Series are given by visiting professors selected on the basis of their contribution to psychiatry or medical education, or in the general area of the delivery of health care. The McKerracher Centre, located at 2302 Arlington Avenue in Saskatoon, offers programs and support for those with mental illness and substance use issues and their loved ones.

Chief Justice E.M. (Ted) Culliton, University Chancellor, unveils a plaque dedicating the residence to the memory of A.C. (Colb) McEown.

Bio/Historical Note: Alpheus Colborne (Colb) McEown was a graduate of Saskatoon Collegiate Institute. He excelled in football and basketball at the University of Saskatchewan, serving as captain of the football team in his senior year. He was trainer of the University of Saskatchewan hockey team in 1921-1922, champions of the Saskatoon-Prince Albert Hockey League that year. He coached the men's varsity basketball team from 1932 to 1948, leading the Huskies to the Rigby Cup championship in the WCIAU for eight straight years, starting in 1934-35.Colb was also coach of the Huskies football team in 1939, 1940, 1943, 1944 and 1945. In addition to his contributions to athletics, Colb served on the University senate, on the board of governors and was president of the alumni association. McEown became Assistant to the President in 1949. As the President's senior administrative officer, McEown was responsible for the general administration and finances of the University including academic and fiscal planning, budgeting, and buildings and grounds. In 1961, McEown became the University's first V.P. (Academic). This change reflected an administrative change rather than a functional one. He had functioned as the President's senior administrative officer and defacto Vice-President since 1949 when he was appointed Assistant to the President. McEown's primary duties were the general administration and finances of the University and included academic and fiscal planning, budgeting, and buildings and grounds. He also acted as secretary of the Board of Governors. In 1968, McEown was appointed Vice-President (University) as part of the re-organization that resulted from the amendments of the University Act. Shortly after his appointment, McEown announced his resignation but died in September 1968.

Looking northeast at Animal Science Building, located immediately west of the University (Main) Barn. Trees and shrubbery in foreground.

Bio/Historical Note: Construction of the Animal Science Building began in 1958 and officially opened on 14 June 1960. Designed by Stock and Ramsay of Regina and costing $482,000, the red-brick structure had a one-storey and two-storey wing. The new building allowed the faculty to move to office and laboratory space from the University’s Main Barn. Because of its location immediately west of the Main Barn, one of the two access ramps leading to the loft was removed.

Students carrying protest signs which read "Stop Amchitka", "Amchitka is a danger to our environment", "Put an [end?] to all nuclear testing".

Bio/Historical Note: Amchitka is a volcanic, tectonically unstable island in the Rat Islands group of the Aleutian Islands in southwest Alaska. Amchitka was selected by the United States Atomic Energy Commission to be the site for underground detonations of nuclear weapons. Three such tests were carried out: Long Shot, an 80-kiloton blast in 1965; Milrow, a 1-megatonblast in 1969; and Cannikin in 1971 – the largest underground test ever conducted by the United States. The tests were highly controversial, with environmental groups fearing that the Cannikin explosion, in particular, would cause severe earthquakes and tsunamis. Amchitka is no longer used for nuclear testing and is still monitored for the leakage of radioactive materials (2020).

Demonstrations denouncing the Amchitka test were held at the University of Saskatchewan on both Saskatoon and Regina campuses. Saskatoon generated the second largest demonstration in Canada with an estimated 4,500 students marching en masse, banners and placards waving, through downtown to City Hall where student representatives spoke. Principal R.W. Begg, in support of the protest, had cancelled classes from 11:30am to 2:30pm. Classes were not cancelled in Regina.
