Regina College, which was established by the Methodist Church in 1911, became the University of Regina in 1974. Formed amid the social movements and transformations of the sixties, the new campus grappled with questions about the nature of a liberal education, the balance between research and teaching, and whether the universitybs role was to criticize the status quo or to support it. James Pitsula shows that the University of Regina was a distinctive expression of the prairie tradition of pragmatic idealism. Pitsula's history also takes student culture into account. He argues that the youth...

The First World War profoundly affected every community in Canada.

The Ku Klux Klan had its origins in the American South. It was suppressed but rose again in the 1920s, spreading into Canada, especially Saskatchewan. This book offers a new interpretation for the appeal of the Klan in 1920s Saskatchewan.
