Elle a ainsi contribué à l'essor des études urbaines et féministes au Canada ainsi qu'à leur rayonnement international.

Affiliation: Queen's University
Keywords: Composition (music), analysis (music)
Deceased Date: 2012-02-24
Long Citation
István Anhalt is one of Canada's best known classical composers. Complex both in detail and in underlying motive, his music is born of intellectual clarity and absolute conviction, speaking strongly with contemporary eloquence. Each of his works reveals a discriminating creative personality whose artistic ideals are of the highest order, and who takes infinite pains to achieve them. As a teacher and an administrator, he guided the education of several distinguished Canadian musicians and musical scholars. Named an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2003, he was honoured with the Juno Award for Best Classical Composition of 2004.

Tour à tour essayiste, philosophe, théologien, historien, bibliographe, érudit, critique littéraire, grand connaisseur du XVIIe siècle francais, Roméo ARBOUR, qui obtient le prix David dès sa première étude sur Bergson, en 1958, et qui publie autant à Paris et à Genève qu'à Ottawa, est un de ces humanistes consciencieux et presque trop discrets qui ne cessent de vous étonner par la qualité de leur présence jusque l'intérieur du monde littéraire international.
La contribution de Roméo ARBOUR, comme professeur, directeur d'études et conseiller littéraire, est très importante. En outre, il est un homme d'une rare délicatesse et d'un dévouement inépuisable.

Leslie Armour, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of Ottawa
Leslie Armour's main research has been philosophical investigations of reality's basic nature, and of the scope of human knowledge. These matters have major implications for morality and politics, he argues. In impressively many books and academic articles, he has demonstrated extraordinary originality and breadth of learning. Often very technical, his work combines contemporary theories with insights developed over many centuries inside many competing philosophical traditions, but particularly that of philosophical idealism. He has written extensively on Canada's distinctiveness and is the leading expert on early Canadian philosophy. No philosopher has done more to promote specifically Canadian ideas and aspirations.
David Armstrong
RSC Fellow, Academy of Sciences
Affiliation: University of Adelaide
Keywords: Reproductive biology and medicine, endocrinology
Deceased Date: 2016-08-01
Dr. D.T. Armstrong, Director of the MRC Group in Reproductive Biology, pioneered the investigation of metabolic responses of the ovary to gonadotrophic hormones. Early studies of the regulatory role of luteinizing,hormone (LH) in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and steroid biosynthesis established LH as the major luteotrophic hormone in rat and other mammals. Studies of changes in ovarian lipid profiles after gonadotrophic stimulation led to the discovery of a physiological role of prostaglandins in ovulation. In further studies of follicular regulation Dr. Armstrong was the first to demonstrate separate cellular and biochemical sites of action of FSH and LH in controlling follicular estrogen synthesis. The results of these 'in vitro' studies, which he subsequently confirmed 'in vivo', were the basis of the now widely-accepted "two cell, two gonadotrophin" theory of estrogen biosynthesis during early folliculogenesis.

Dr. Armstrong has pursued research in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy with great vigour and distinction for forty years and has made many significant contributions. He was awarded the Rutherford Memorial Fellow, RSC, 1961 and Herzberg Medal of the Canadian Association of Physicists 1993, Medal of Achievement of CAP, 1990, Commemorative Medal for 125th Anniversary of Canadian Confederation, 1992 for his work. He has published over 175 papers in his field, two undergraduate textbooks and he has also shown great gifts for administration as associate chairman of the Physics Department at the University of Toronto. He was appointed chairman in 1974, Dean Faculty of Arts and Science, 1982, President of U. N.B., 1990.
Dr. Armin Arnold
RSC Fellow, Academy of the Arts and Humanities
Affiliation: McGill University

Deceased Date: 2011-03-12
With his organizational ability and insistence on high standards for staff and students, Professor Armin Arnold has raised the Department of German at McGill to an internationally recognized status of excellence. He is known and respected by Germanists, especially for his books on Expressionism which provided a refreshingly new and fruitful approach to this complex and still controversial literary movement. Scholars in English value his studies of Bernard Shaw, D. H. Lawrence and James Joyce. Being equally familiar with the languages and literatures of France and Italy, Mr. Arnold is bound to play a most active role in the development of comparative research in Canada, to which he has in recent years devoted part of his interest and energy.
