In addition to notable theoretical contributions relating to genetic improvement of crop plants, Dr. Campbell has been engaged (since 1949) in producing new varieties of hard spring wheat suited to the Canadian Prairies. These varieties (Pembina, Canthatch, Manitou, Neepawa, Napayo, Benito, Columbus, Katepwa, Roblin) have enabled farmers to consistently produce good crops of high quality grain. During the 1980's circa 17,000,000 acres of land were sown to Dr. Campbell's varieties; these varieties accounted for more than 80% of the total acreage sown to wheat on the prairies, and for more than 95% of the total sown in those areas where the problem of disease (wheat rust) is most serious.

Dr. Campbell's first major contribution to knowledge was a new study of the respiratory muscles in man. Using primitive equipment, but a high degree of ingenuity, he made basic contributions to understanding the control of breathing in man and the way in which the symptom of shortness of breath was signalled in the human body. He broadened his field of study to include the control of arterial blood tensions in man and this work led directly to a re-examination of the methods of treating respiratory failure in the human, which placed this important clinical problem in a new scientific context and introduced a very important modification of traditional treatment which has since been everywhere adopted. He had in addition consistently applied basic scientific knowledge to the investigation of clinical problems, and has made distinguished contributions to the educational field by examining the ways in which the scientific principles underlying medical treatment can be better taught to medical students whose ambitions for themselves are all too often limited by a narrow pragmatic perspective. He has published three major books under his own authorship and collaborated in the production of a further five. His many scientific papers on a variety of topics indicate the breadth of his scientific knowledge and the exordinary ingenuity of his experimental approach to clinical problems. Of his generation, Dr. Moran Campbell is unquestionably one of the most distinguished examples of the success of the rigorous application of scientific method to clinical problems and his career in this field has been one of the most distinguished of any of his contemporaries.

James Maurice Stockford Careless is Professor and Chairman of the Department of History at the University of Toronto. A graduate of Toronto and Harvard universities, he served at Canadian Naval headquarters in the Naval Historical Section and in the Department of External Affairs during the Second World War. In 1945 he joined the Department of History at Toronto, where his interests have been increasingly concentrated upon teaching and research in Canadian history. He is Past President of the Ontario Historical Society and Vice-Chairman of the Archaeological and Historic Sites Board of Ontario. His general history, "Canada: a Story of Challenge", won the Governor-General's Award for Academic Non-fiction in 1953. In 1959 he published "Brown of the Globe: The Voice of Upper Canada", the first of a two-volume study of George Brown, which won the University of British Columbia's medal for biography. Though his academic career is still in its early stages, Dr. Careless has already given exceptionally distinguished service to the cause of Canadian historical studies.

Par la qualité de ses recherches en sociologie et par ses nombreuses publications, notamment en sociologie religieuse, Hervé Carrier s'est distingué parmi cette première génération de sociologues qui, au Canada français, a marché sur les traces du grand précurseur que fut Léon Gérin, ancien président général de la Société royale et sur l'oeuvre duquel il a publié un ouvrage. Quelques-unes de ses publications, comme « La Psycho-sociologie de l'appartenance religieuse », sont devenues des classiques et demeurent des modèles du genre. Après avoir enseigné plusieurs années les sciences sociales à l'Université grégorienne de Rome, il en est maintenant le recteur. Même s'il oeuvre surtout à l'étranger, il tient à passer environ deux mois tous les ans au Canada, afin de suivre de plus près l'évolution des événements, en particulier de la sociologie d'ici. Par son enseignement, par ses écrits et par les hautes fonctions universitaires qu'il remplit actuellement, il fait grand honneur à son pays et à sa province d'origine.

Caskey, C.Thomas - Medical Sciences - University of Texas C. Thomas Caskey made discovery of triplet nucleotide repeat expansion as cause of the fragile X and myotonic dystrophy diseases which explained the increasing severity generation to generation, anticipation. ------------------ Caskey, C.Thomas - Medical Sciences - University of Texas C. Thomas Caskey, has made major contributions to understanding the universality of the genetic code for living organisms. He discovered the mechanism of peptide chain termination, identified the genetic basis of several heritable diseases, and opened the understanding of triplet repeat diseases (Fragile X, myotonic, dystrophy and others). His patent for automation of forensic science use of repeat sequences developed the method of DNA-based personal identification (now used worldwide) for forensic studies, and enabled database sharing for crime and terrorism investigation. Dr. Caskey has been a strong advocate for science in the US, Canada, and internationally.
