University of Saskatchewan2005 Spring ConvocationThe word “Convocation” arises from the Latin “con”meaning “together,” and “vocare” meaning “tocall.” Our Convocation ceremony is a calling togetherof the new graduates of the University of Saskatchewan,symbolizing the historical practice of calling together allformer graduates. In current times, the major functionsof Convocation are the election of representativesto University governing bodies and the admissionof candidates to degrees. The Chancellor, elected byConvocation as its Chair, is the highest official andspokesperson of the University.The Convocation ceremony marks the transition fromthe role of student to the holder of a degree with itsaccompanying rights and privileges. Candidates for degrees,known as graduands, having completed the requirementsof a course of study, are recommended by college facultiesand the University Council to receive degrees from theUniversity of Saskatchewan.The ceremony, solemnized in the presence of theUniversity community and family and friends of thegraduands, consists of three parts: a procession markingthe leaving of the old status and entering the new; thePresident’s statement to the graduands, the Secretary’s petition and the Chancellor’s consent for theiradmission; followed by individual presentation by their Dean and admission by the Chancellor to thedegrees to which they are entitled. As graduates are admitted to their degrees, a graduation hood, whichhas a colour symbolizing a particular degree, is placed over each graduate’s head. A banner displaying theUniversity crest is hung above the stage, as a symbol of the University’s authority to confer degrees.Following the conferring of degrees and acceptance of each graduate as a member of Convocation, areception is held—a celebration on the occasion of the formal transition from the role of learner to the roleof producer and contributor in the field of the graduate’s choice.We honour and welcome this year’s graduates!University of Saskatchewan42005 Spring Convocation

History of the University of SaskatchewanThe University of Saskatchewan was established by the University Act on April 3, 1907, only 18months after Saskatchewan became a province.The people of the province, as well as their government, were instrumental in shaping the new University.The provincial government requested all residents who were graduates of a Canadian or British universityto form the first Convocation and elect the University’s Senate. The Senate, in turn, elected five membersto the first Board of Governors, while the province appointed three. In 1908, the Board selected ProfessorWalter Charles Murray, of Dalhousie University, as the first President.Classes in Arts and Science began in September, 1909, in downtown Saskatoon. Construction of thecampus began in 1910 and the first buildings were occupied in the fall of 1912. They included the CollegeBuilding (Administration Building), Saskatchewan Hall (a student residence), residences for the Dean ofAgriculture and the President, a laboratory for Engineering and a number of farm buildings.From the beginning, the University established an emphasis on research and teaching in a context ofcommunity service, and encouraged co-operation among departments and divisions in tackling commonproblems. The development of rust-resistant strains of wheat, for example, initiated by the University andfederal and provincial research agencies, has been of untold value to the prairie economy.In 1909, the University had 70 students and five professors, including the President. Today there are over19,000 students studying in 13 colleges and one school. This is the only university in Canada with fivehealth-science colleges and a major teaching hospital on the same campus. The University offersSpring & Summer terms, evening courses, Independent Studies courses and distance education as well ason-campus daytime courses.The University of Saskatchewan overlooks the South Saskatchewan River from a 755 hectare site. Thecampus itself is 147 hectares; a research park, the University farm and experimental plots make up theremainder.Most early buildings on campus are Collegiate Gothic in style and are constructed in a local dolomite,popularly known as greystone. Subsequently constructed buildings also have greystone, as well as Tyndallstone (pre-cut slabs quarried in Tyndall, Manitoba), concrete, brick, glass and aggregate facings.The University offers many points of interest for visitors: the Diefenbaker Canada Centre, Museum ofNatural Sciences, Museum of Antiquities, Biology Museum, Pharmaceutical Museum, the Observatory, theGordon Snelgrove Gallery, the St. Thomas More Gallery, Rugby Chapel, the Little Stone Schoolhouse, theMemorial Gates, Patterson Garden and the Kenderdine Gallery.You are invited to visit our campus at any time!University of Saskatchewan62005 Spring Convocation
