Diefenbaker Donates Homestead to University of Saskatchewan
Former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker donates the family homestead to the University of Saskatchewan with two conditions: profits support a public speaking scholarship and the land remain a lasting example of early 20th century pioneer days. He spoke at the 62nd Spring Convocation urging academic freedom and cautioning government influence, noting university funding should involve public funds but not dictate internal division of money. He warned against university politicization and praised democratic processes amid the era’s political scandals. He also advised proper refrigeration to prevent food poisoning.
