Pierre Trottier n'a jamais cessé d'écrire, durant ses loisirs et congés de diplomate. Poète et essayiste, il a déjà publié plusieurs volumes (voir liste ci-jointe). On retrouve dans ses écrits l'influence des lieux où il a séjourné ; il y puise et son inspiration et ses idées.
Il écrit dans une langue recherchée et bien construite, c'est un plaisir de le lire. A cause d'absences prolongées à l'étranger, il n'est pas très connu ici, mais son oeuvre déjà impressionnante mérite maintenant une reconnaissance certaine. On pourrait le comparer à Saint-John Perse ou d'autres diplomates-écrivains déjà membre de la Société.

He has also edited four sets of conference proceedings and published over two hundred articles, book chapters, and reviews. He has received a UBC Killam Faculty Research Prize, two UBC Killam Senior Fellowships and fifteen more additional fellowships and research grants from both Canadian and Japanese sources. He has twice been invited to the National Institute of Japanese Literature in Tokyo and University of Copenhagen as a visiting professor and once to National University of Singapore. Tsuruta also organized ten international academic conferences at UBC and elsewhere. Beyond all this he is a wonderful teacher and a supportive and responsible colleague.

Apart from a few years at Harvard as graduate student and later at Yale as a member of the teaching staff, Endel Tulving has spent his professional career at the University of Toronto, occupying positions ranging from undergraduate to Chairman of the Psychology Department. His research began with some notable contributions to the psychology of perception. But, over the last fifteen years, he has become one of the world's leading and most creative figures in the field of human memory. This is currently one of the most intensely cultivated fields of research in experimental psychology, in which many able investigators are working, so that it takes a great deal to stand out among them. But Tulving's theoretical innovations, always firmly rooted in rigorous and ingeniously designed experiments, invariably go straight to the crucial issues in an imaginative and penetrating way.

William Thomas Tutte, B.A., M.A., Ph.D. (Cantab.), is an Assistant Professor of mathematics at the University of Toronto. He is distinguished for his contributions to the theory of "graphs." He has solved the problem of dissecting a square into unequal squares. Some of his papers deal with the factorization of a graph, and with the four-colour problem. More recently he has become interested in the deeper algebraic and geometrical aspects of graph theory. Dr. Tutte is amongst the half dozen most distinguished mathematicians in his field.

Professor Uffen is one of the outstanding younger geophysicists in Canada today, and is recognized as such all over the world. He has recently been named to the council of the National Research Council. He is, or has been, a member of several committees concerned with research in the earth sciences. In spite of the fact that he is now capably carrying out important administrative responsibilities, his scientific work continues. His most recent contribution is a discussion of the origin of life, and is an indication of his broad range of interests. He would be an asset to the Royal Society of Canada.

Author of over 180 scientific papers and books Anne Underhill was a pioneer in the study of the atmospheres of the hot blue stars in our galaxy, and is a recognized international expert. As a senior scientist at NASA she was closely associated with the highly successful International Ultraviolet Explorer satellite telescope launched in 1978 and still in operation, the most powerful instrument ever built for the uv-spectroscopy of stars. Anne has made major contributions both as an observer and as a theoretician. Her several books are essential reading for anyone who expects to undertake serious work on the OB stars.

UPPAL, Priscila – Liberal Arts & Professional Studies, York University
Priscila Uppal combines writing prize-winning poetry, short stories and novels, with scholarly critical
studies. Significantly her work contributes both to Canadian Literature and Multiculturalism. Among her
achievements, her most original contribution is uniting poetry and sport. The ground-breaking poet-inresidence
positions she initiated at the Vancouver and London Olympics, establish a unique link between aesthetics
and athletics, restoring a public function to poetry that has long been missing.
UPPAL, Priscila – Liberal Arts & Professional Studies, York University
Priscila Uppal se consacre non seulement à l’écriture de poèmes, nouvelles et romans, mais également aux
études critiques érudites. Ses travaux contribuent de manière significative à la littérature canadienne et au
multiculturalisme. Sa réalisation la plus originale est sans aucun doute le mariage de la poésie et du sport.
Son rôle avant-gardiste de poète-résidente aux Jeux olympiques de Vancouver et de Londres crée un lien unique
entre l’esthétique et le sport, redonnant ainsi à la poésie une fonction publique oubliée depuis longtemps.

Prof. M. Urquhart
Affiliation: Queen's University
Deceased Date: 2002-09-07

Professor Urquhart ranks with the best Canadian economists of his generation - a generation which has extended economic analysis and knowledge of mathematical and ststistical methods. He has made important original contributions to the theory of capital. He has probably helped and advised more economists of his own and younger ages than anyone else in Canada. He has maintained close contacts with United States scholars through the National Bureau of Economic Research and with British scholars by correspondence and recent personal associations in London and Cambridge. He is the main editor of - and a contributor to - an outstanding economic publication called "Historical Statistics of Canada". He is highly qualified for fellowship in a company of scholars.

Dan Usher, Department of Economics, Queen's University, has combined an outstanding originality of mind with a superbly competent use of economic theory to deepen our understanding of economic issues in fundamental ways. Most of his work has a rigorous theoretical content which is important in its own right but which is most frequently developed for application to practical economic issues or to economic policy problems. In this mold, he has made special contributions to the development of our understanding of the meaning of national income statistics and of income comparisons, to our appreciation of problems of economic development and most recently to a study of the economic prerequisites to democracy. His work is most highly regarded, both nationally and internationally.

La trajectoire qu'a poursuivie André Vachet est d'une transparence exemplaire; elle se compose de trois voies d'activités, trois voies où le candidat a excellé : les publications, l'enseignement et la représentation auprès d'organismes voués à la promotion du savoir.
M. Vachet s'est imposé dès son premier ouvrage, « Idéologie libérale », publié par la maison Anthropos à Paris en 1970 et qui a été traduit en espagnol deux ans après. Ce livre a fait l'objet d'une ré-édition en 1988. Puis lui a succédé son oeuvre attendue sur Marcuse parue en 1986, en plus d'un ouvrage bibliographique sur les idéologies au Québec qui fait l'objet de nombreuses ré-éditions (1977,1978,1980).
Le candidat s'est également distingué par ses qualités de pédagogue hors pair, qui lui ont valu le prix d'excellence en enseignement de son université et le OCUFA Teaching Award. Enfin, M. Vachet n'a pas ménagé sa participation aux divers organismes associés à l'avancement des sciences sociales, où sa compétence a été vite reconnue et mise à contribution : présidence de la Fédération des sciences
sociales et de la Société canadienne de sciences politiques, vice-présidence de l'Association canadienne de sciences politiques, puis représentation du Canada auprès de l'Association internationale de sciences politiques.
