LONG Seymour Martin Lipset's scholarship has contributed with great distinction to sociology, political behaviour, political psychology, and public opinion research for over half a century. The unifying theme of his prodigious research favouring its development. An important part of this quest has focused on perceptive comparisons between American and Canadian society with respect to social conditions, core values, political institutions, and formative historical events. This multidimensional continental comparison, carefully balancing similarities and differences, has established his pre-eminence among American social scientists who study Canada.

Long Citation (for publication and press release) Dr. H.C. Liu is renowned internationally for his seminal contributions to the physics and applications of semiconducting quantum electronics. Dr. Liu has used his training in pure and applied physics to understand the mechanisms of photoconductivity and lay the foundation to the physics of infrared photoconductors in quantum structures. Thanks to his deep physical insights and experimental talents, Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors are now a commercial reality. Dr. Liu's pioneering work in developing the world's fastest mid-infrared photodetector has demonstrated how this class of devices can revolutionise high speed, long haul optical communications, an important industrial sector in Canada.

Professor Locke has made important contributions to insect physiology in three broad areas: the determination of pattern in insect development, the structure and function of the insect cuticle, and the changes in structure and function of the insect fat body during metamorphosis. A superb microscopist, he is among those who set the standard by which the quality of electron micrographs is judged. His work as an animator of others is evidenced in the eight volumes which he has edited.

Dr. Lee Lorch has made outstanding contributions to functional analysis particularly in the study of summation methods, where he has studied the Lebesgue constants for many methods of summation, and in singular integral theory. Another noteworthy example of his contribution is his study of the high monotonicity properties of Strum-Louville functions. These contributions are attested to by more than thirty papers in leading scientific journals.

Professor PAUL LORRAIN is a research physicist and educator with a wide range of accomplishments. Of completely bilingual training, he has conducted researches and taught at many institutions of both languages in Canada, United States, and France. His research, largely based on his special form of the Cockcroft-Walton generator, has attracted wide attention. Apart from researches, he has written educational articles and a new text-book on electromagnetic theory. His services have been recognized by many high distinctions. He is a member of the National Research Council and Director of the Department of Physics in the University of Montreal.
