John Sydney Dugdale, M.A., D.Phil., Principal Research Officer, Division of Pure Physics, National Research Council, Ottawa, is particularly distinguished for his work in high-pressure physics at low temperatures. With Sir Francis Simon, Oxford, he determined the melting parameters for solid helium up to 3000 atmospheres. He has been responsible for establishing a high-pressure laboratory in the National Research Council, contributing to the study of the electrical resistivity of metals, the melting curves of hydrogen and deuterium, and the martensitic transformation in alkali metals. He has considered related theoretical problems, including the thermodynamic properties of linear chains and the role of zero-point energy, in the properties of the inert gas solids.

Affiliation: The University of British Columbia
Keywords: Shakespeare, romantic poetry
Deceased Date: 2015-10-12
A specialist in English literature, Geoffrey Durrant has by a command of several languages and a far-ranging interest in ideas given meaning to the definition of literature as a knowledge of the best that has been thought and said in the world. Through his writing and speaking he has applied this broad culture to enriching the quality of life in both the university and the larger community. He has shown that to be the true liberal and humanist in practice means, in Browning's words, to make of one's
beliefs "the life of life, As saffron tingeth flesh, blood, bones, and all."

The research and publications of Onkar P. Dwivedi, Department of Political Science, University of Guelph, have focused on two inter-related fields of comparative and development administration, and environmental policy and management. Pervading his work in both fields is the concept of stewardship of the earth, as reflected in world religions and their accompanying ethical value systems. He has also enabled other scholars to undertake research and write on these subjects, and has co-authored and edited many works. Both as an "enabler" for other scholars as well as a prolific contributor in his own right, Dwivedi has attained national distinction and international recognition.

Dr. H. Eastman
RSC Fellow,
Affiliation: Patented Medicine Prices Review Board
Deceased Date: 1999-04-20
Professor Eastman has made many notable contributions to the social sciences in Canada. He has earned a high professional reputation in Economics, both in Canada and abroad. His publications, both in French and English, have been of a consistently high technical quality. Moreover his writings are always 'thoughtful': he has never published a 'routine' piece. He has actively promoted Canadian participation in international associations, and has himself participated in international economic congresses. He long served the Canadian Political Science Association as Secretary-Treasurer, that is to say, as the administrative mainstay of the Association. He has also served the Graduate Faculty at the University of Toronto as Associate Dean. Everything he has done has been done superbly well.
