In this volume, Carlyle King – then-Dean of Academic Services at the University of Saskatchewan – enumerates the research contributions made by University faculty in their respective fields. Organized by college, the book’s chapters summarize major publications, discoveries, and innovations by University of Saskatchewan academics. From E. B. Moysey’s work on effective windbreaks for prairie climates in Engineering to Richard Albert Wilson’s book “The Birth of Language” in English, King reveals the breadth of research conducted on campus. Effectively a prospectus of the University’s research achievements in its first 55 years, King’s book underscores the local and international relevance of the University's research. No publication date, but the Preface’s 1967 dating suggests a publication year of 1967 or later.
