POPE, Peter E. - Department of Archaeology and Department of History, Memorial University of Newfoundland Peter Pope’s methodologically innovative research has shifted historical opinion to recognize the central place of Newfoundland and the cod fishery in the early-modern Atlantic world. He has raised thought-provoking questions about the invention of tradition, early modern vernacular capitalism and maritime cultural landscapes, giving a clear voice to a Canadian perspective, among those who are trying to better understand the evolution of the Atlantic world.

POPE, Peter E. - Départements d’archéologie et d’histoire, Memorial University of Newfoundland Par ses recherches à la méthodologie innovatrice, Peter Pope a poussé les historiens à reconnaître l’importance de Terre-Neuve et de la pêche à la morue aux débuts de la période moderne. Il a soulevé des questions importantes sur le rôle de la tradition, sur le capitalisme local de l’époque et sur le paysage culturel maritime, faisant ainsi valoir un point de vue canadien auprès de ceux qui s’efforcent de mieux comprendre l’évolution des pays bordant l’Atlantique.

In the 1930's, Dr. Porter participated at Manchester and MIT in the pioneering work on modern computers, and since then has been involved in many of the new and exciting areas of applied science. He has led research teams both in industry and at universities in the application of computer technology to medicine, communications, management, education and simulation. He has left behind him at several Canadian and British institutions fruitful teams of workers infected by his own enthusiasm. His prolific writings are widely read and re-read For example, his "Introduction to Servomechanisms" published 20 years ago is still regarded as a classic.

POTTER, Paul – Professor Emeritus, Western University Paul Potter has spent over forty years studying the medieval Greek manuscripts containing the ancient writings attributed to Hippocrates of Cos, sometimes referred to as the “Father of medicine”. On the basis of this work, Potter has edited the original text and provided an accompanying English translation of a considerable portion of the Hippocratic Collection in five volumes of the bilingual Loeb Classical Library published by Harvard University Press.

Sur la base de ces travaux, M. Potter a édité le texte original et donné une traduction anglaise d’une partie considérable de la collection Hippocratique dans cinq tomes de la série bilingue Loeb Classical Library publiée par Harvard University Press.

Professor Elton Roy Pounder for seventeen (17) years has devoted himself to the study of the physical properties of ice. During that period, because of his papers and through the discussions in which he has participated, he has been recognized as world authority on this subject. He is author of a monograph on the physics of ice and contributor to two compendia on that subject; he is joint author of a well known text book on elementary physics. He has kept well abreast of modern physics. He has made many contributions to education in Quebec, at all levels.

Victor Kent Prest is Head of the Pleistocene, Engineering, and Groundwater Section of the Geological Survey of Canada and is an outstanding authority on Pleistocene geology. He compiled the Glacial Map of Canada for the Atlas of Canada and was a major contributor to the "Glacial Map of Canada" published by the Geological Association of Canada. Among his other contributions is an able and authoritative discussion of the Pleistocene geology in Canada in "Geology and Economic Minerals of Canada". Dr. Prest heads an active group whose enthusiasm and productivity owes much to his leadership. Important recent advances in our knowledge of the Pleistocene record in Canada are due in large measure to the contribution of Dr. Prest and of his group.

As a result of his investigations in the Rocky Mountains, Dr. Price has thrown considerable light on the complexitites of the region, integrating structural and physical theories in his interpretation of the nature of the deformation both on a small and grant scale. He has established principles and techniques applicable to the study of mesoscopic subfabrics in deformed unmetamorphosed strata and delineated fundamental geometric attributes of folds that are critical to a reconstitution of the mechanisms of folding. He has contributed new and important concepts to the establishment of a regional framework of the physical stratigraphy, particularly of the Proterozoic, Devonian and Mississippian sequesnces and the larger geological structures of northern Yukon and the southern Rocky Mountains. He has proposed a model relating spatially and temporally the metamorphic regimes of the Western Cordillera with the decollement thrust sheets of the Eastern Cordillera. Dr. Price was awarded the Gold Medal in Science from the Univeristy of Manitoba and the Higgins and Procter Fellowships from Princeton University.
