Since its completion in 1929, Darke Hall has echoed with the sounds of such great stars as Sir
Henry Lauder, Fritz Kreisler, Madame Schumann Heink and Galla Curci, to name only a few. The
second building is known as the Conservatory and is home to the Conservatory of Music. The
College Building is the third building and contains the offices of the University Extension
which offers Certificate Programs and Off-Campus Degree Credit Programs. When first
established in 1911 by the Methodist Church of Canada, the east building served as a
Normal School for the training of Saskatchewan teachers. By 1929 a women's residence
and a gymnasium were completed. The depression of the 1930's brought with it finacial
restraits and the church then transferred the college to the University of
Saskatchewan." (Info From Wascana Pamphlet) |

" The University was initially established as the Regina Campus of the University of
Saskatchewan, but became an independent institution on July 1, 1974. "
