Abstract

The University of Regina’s main campus got started 53 years ago this month. That’s when construction crews arrived on a farm on the edge of Regina and began work on the new campus. “History will be made Wednesday when work starts on the first group of buildings to be erected on Regina Campus of the University of Saskatchewan,” the Leader-Post reported. “The first shovelfull of earth will be turned over in the northwest part of the new campus, in the yard of the experimental farm.” It was April 10, 1963, and dignitaries were on hand for the historic occasion.
