Malcolm Harvey is nominated in recognition of the high quality of his research in nuclear and particle physics and for his leadership in the promotion of science in Canada. Dr. Harvey is distinguished for his early studies on the complementarity between the nuclear shell model and collective models; for his seminal work on the interpretation of the repulsion between nucleons in terms of constituent quark structures; and for his recent innovative work on the use of solitons for particle structures. He contributed much to the strength of Canadian Science through his lead role in the organization of meetings and through his exciting and stimulating lectures to his peers and to the general public.

Joyce Hemlow, Professor of English at McGill University, taught in rural schools in Nova Scotia before coming to Queen's for her B.A. and M.A. Awarded the Marty Memorial Travelling Fellowship, she went to Radcliffe for her doctorate. She had access to the Burney papers in the Berg Collection in New York, and on a Guggenheim Fellowship in England (1951) tracked down some thousands of additional Burney papers hitherto unknown and now lodged in the British Museum. Her "History of Fanny Burney" (1958) at once received critical acclaim, and earned for her the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for biography in England as well as the Governor-General's Medal in Canada. Seldom has the dedication of painstaking scholarship yielded such fruits in literary discovery or found more felicitous expression in distinguished biography. Later she compiled "A Catalogue of the Burney Family Correspondence 1749-1878" (New York, 1971), and she edited "The Letters and Journals of Fanny Burney" 12 volumes (Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1872-1984), and "Selected Letters & Journals of Fanny Burney" (Oxford, 1986). Her other writings include five articles on the Hemlow family in Sherbrooke and Liscomb, N.S., published in the "Nova Scotia Historical Review" from 1990 to 1998.
