Bio/Historical Note: Sir Frederick William Alpin Gordon Haultain (1857-1942) was born in Woolwich, England and came to Peterborough, Canada West, with his family in 1860. He grew up in Peterborough and Montreal, where he was educated at the High School of Montreal, later receiving a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto. He went on to study law at Osgoode Hall and was called to the bar in Ontario in 1882 and in the North-West Territories in 1884. Haultain was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories in a by-election held on 5 September 1887. He defeated Charles Conybeare by a large margin. Haultain would win his next five elections by acclamation. Haultain was appointed the first Premier of the territories on 7 October 1897. As premier, Haultain led negotiations for the granting of provincial status. Haultain argued for these territories to be admitted as a single province named Buffalo, and wanted the new province to be governed by non-partisan governments. The federal Liberal government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, however, decided to create two provinces, Alberta and Saskatchewan, in 1905. Frustrated in negotiations with the federal Liberal government, Haultain became increasingly identified with the Conservative Party and campaigned for it in the 1904 federal election. Laurier's Liberals were re-elected. Haultain led the Provincial Rights Party in the 1905 Saskatchewan provincial election, which was won by the Liberal Party of Saskatchewan. From 1905 to 1912, Haultain sat in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan as leader of the Opposition. In 1912, the newly elected Conservative federal government of Sir Robert Borden made Haultain Chief Justice of Saskatchewan's superior court. He was knighted in 1916, and in 1917 was made Chief Justice of the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal, a position he held until his retirement in 1938. In 1937 Haultain was awarded an Honourary Degree from the U of S. Haultain died in Montreal in 1942 and his cincerary urn with a bronze plaque lie behind the U of S Memorial Gates that were dedicated during his term of office.

Agriculture - Horses

Bio/Historical Note: By 1910, 19 horses had been purchased by the College of Agriculture that were good work horses or suitable for student class work. Two were purebred Clydesdales. Three light horses were also purchased. One named Barney was used in the morning to deliver milk to faculty in Nutana and in the afternoon on the buggy as Dean Rutherford made his farm rounds. In 1920 the Province asked the Animal Husbandry Department to establish a Clydesdale breeding stud. This led to development of an outstanding collection of prize winning horses that became a focus of the Department. In the 1920s the Percheron and Belgian breeders also demanded support for their breeds and so they were included in the university stud and some cross breeding was undertaken. The campus horses were used for field work for all Departments, general hauling and site work for new buildings. An unofficial use was for the Lady Godiva ride across campus each fall. By the 1940s it was clear that the era of horses as a main source of farm power was over. The final stallion used in the breeding program was the imported "Windlaw Proprietor," grand champion stallion at the 1946 Royal Winter Fair.

Alexander Campbell - Portrait

Head and shoulders image of Alexander Campbell, director of Pharmacy from 1914-1923, and first dean from 1923-1928.

Bio/Historical Note: Alexander Campbell's association with the University of Saskatchewan began in 1913 as professor of Pharmacy. The Saskatchewan Pharmaceutical Association had been the first in Canada to request the education of its members be under the direction of a university and twenty-one students enrolled when the School of Pharmacy was first established in January 1914. By 1921 the School had become a College and in 1922 Campbell became the first dean of Pharmacy. Enrolment had increased substantially every year; and Campbell, there since the school’s inception, had taught a majority of the classes even as faculty numbers increased. The College of Pharmacy as it existed in 1927 was largely Campbell’s creation. Remarkably, he had joined the University at age 62 – but “no one,” Walter C. Murray wrote, had “ever associated age with the active veteran of the rebellion of 1885.” Indeed, Campbell had been part of the 7th Fusiliers from London, Ontario, called into active service on 1 April 1885. By the time they had made the trip west the Northwest Resistance was over: the 7th Fusiliers left for their return journey to Ontario in mid-July without ever having seen combat. Campbell had done pencil sketches at the time and later turned these into watercolours, with a narrative of his service: An Account of the Advances of the 7th Fusiliers of London to aid in the suppression of the North West Rebellion of 1885. Following his retirement in 1928 Campbell moved to Victoria, where he died in [1943 at the age of 91]. The Saskatchewan Pharmaceutical Association established the Campbell Prize in his honour.

Adam Shortt - Portrait

Head and shoulders image of Adam Shortt, who donated the initial bulk of the Shortt Collection of Canadiana, which makes up the basis of the University of Saskatchewan Special Collections.

Bio/Historical Note: Adam Shortt was born 24 November 1859 in Kilworth, Ontario. He attended Queen's University with the intention of becoming a Presbyterian minister. When Shortt graduated in 1883 , he pursued graduate studies in philosophy, chemistry and botany. In 1886 Shortt married Elizabeth Smith, one of the first women to receive a medical degree in Canada. The same year he began working as a tutor for John Watson, and in 1887 was appointed a lecturer in the field of political economy at Queen's. In 1891 he was the first to be appointed the John A. Macdonald Professor of Political Science. While a lecturer at Queen's Shortt was appointed editor of The Queen's Journal. He is credited with establishing the first card catalogue at the Queen's Library. Regarded as the father of professional economics in Canada, Shortt took a historical approach as differentiated from economic theory, as he believed that the economics of nations depend on natural resources, geographic location, and specific economic attributes. Shortt went on to Glasgow University for his master's degree in political economy. Shortt was one of five men on the shortlist for the position of first president of the University of Saskatchewan. He is most well known for his research into the history of Canadian banking and for his association with the National Archives of Canada. In 1906 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and a commander of the Order of St Michael and St George in 1911. At the time of his death on 14 January 1931, he was a chairman of the Board of Historical Publications at the National Archives, a position he had held since 1918.

Bio/Historical Note: Special Collections at the University of Saskatchewan Library began with the purchase of the Adam Shortt collection of Canadiana in 1921. Dr. Shortt, a professor and University Librarian at Queen's University was an inveterate collector. Indeed, the collection at the University of Saskatchewan was one of his two personal collections. This collection has been augmented over time and now concentrates on western Canadian history. While it includes old and rare materials, such as 18th- and 19th-century editions of explorers' and missionaries' accounts, it also emphasizes the history of First Nations and Metis people. The library is particularly proud to own an original letter/poem written by resistance leader Louis Riel to his jailer just two weeks before he was hanged for treason.

Hutcherson was [82 years old in 1954].

Allan Bowerman - Portrait

Portrait of Allan A. Bowerman, early postmaster of Saskatoon, and donor of scholarships and rare books to the University of Saskatchewan.

Bio/Historical Note: Allan Arthur Bowerman was born 20 May 1844 on a farm near Picton, Ontario. He was educated at Victoria University (Cobourg, Ontario) and the Kingston Military School. In 1870 he came to Manitoba as a member of the Wolseley Expedition and stayed after it was demobilized, becoming principal of the newly-established Wesleyan Institute. During the Winnipeg real estate boom of the early 1880s, Bowerman invested heavily in real estate, owning land along Portage Avenue where he erected a residential building known as the Bowerman Terrace and established a florist shop. He lost most of his investments in the subsequent crash. In December 1883 Bowerman accepted a position as Classics master at the Winnipeg Collegiate Institute, becoming principal the following year. He resigned in mid-1889 to concentrate on his florist business. After the business closed in the mid-1890s, Bowerman took a position as principal of Griswold School, serving until early 1899. He then traveled west and became principal of the school at Moose Jaw, North West Territories. Bowerman left Moose Jaw for Saskatoon; he became the first postmaster in Saskatoon on the west side of the river (1900-1906), and a member of Saskatoon's first town council (1903-1905). Again, Bowerman invested in real estate and amassed a substantial fortune over a period of less than a decade. He built the Canada Building and was an early supporter of the University of Saskatchewan. He sold a piece of property to the government for the site of a sanatorium. In his retirement years, Bowerman wintered in California, where he died at Los Angeles on 25 December 1923. He left an estate valued at about $3 million.
