The above image is of the first Student Representative Council, 1909-1910.

The quote below is from the 1912 Yearbook:

“The University of Saskatchewan has laid plans with a view to future develop­ment. In this environment it was only natural that its students should form an organiza­tion which would serve not only the entire student body of the present, but as numbers grew and Faculties increased in number, would continue ever to expand in usefulness.

“The purpose of The Students Representative Council, to use the words of its Constitution, is to act as a unifying force in University life, and as the supreme representative body of the students, to deal with all matters of interest out­side the province of other student organizations.

“Although only in the third year of its exist­ence, the Council has done much to justify its formation. It has issued two Yearly Handbooks; has conducted two very successful University Theatre Nights; has inaugurated and carried through successfully the first series of Inter-University debates with the University of Alberta, and has opened negotiations to arrange annual debates with the University of Manitoba. In addition, the Council has taken control of the publication of the GRADUATION YEAR BOOK of which this is the first number. It will also own and control the official University publication “THE SHEAF.”
