University of Saskatchewan: University of Saskatchewan was founded in 1907, just two years after the creation of the province, to provide traditional and innovative post-secondary Education to the youth of Saskatchewan. Walter Murray, our first president, supported by the people of Saskatchewan, faculty, students, staff, and politicians of both existing parties, developed a University which was guaranteed the independence necessary to function effectively. The University provided a unique blend of liberal, professional, and applied education to prepare its students to help the people of Saskatchewan build an agriculturally based province with the economic and cultural benefits of modern urban society.

One of the ways in which the University of Saskatchewan fulfilled its unique mission was by establishing Colleges of Arts and Science and Agriculture on the same campus so each would influence the other. Gradually, various schools and colleges were introduced to provide Saskatchewan with educated professionals. Graduate programs were added as society's needs became more complex. Over time, the University developed affiliations with several colleges and research institutes on or near its campus.
The vision of the early settlers could not have been realized without the financial and moral support of the people of the province and the talents and efforts of faculty, staff, and students. Today, the University continues to provide liberal, artistic, and professional education, enriching the lives of the people of the province. As the province's major research institution, it has made significant contributions to all branches of knowledge, to agriculture, to health care, to resource development, and to many other segments of Saskatchewan's culture and economy. Its graduates are leaders in all sectors of society within the province, in Canada and beyond.
