Dr. Friedman was born in Montreal in 1916, achieved his B.A. Degree in 1938, M.D., C.M. from McGill in 1940, M.Sc., McGill 1941 and Ph.D. from the same in 1946. He served on the McGill staff in Anatomy from 1944 to 1950 as Assistant Professor and Associate Professor. He joined the University of British Columbia staff in 1950. He has published extensively with 79 research papers, primarily on cardiovascular and renal physiology. Two textbooks by Dr. Friedman, "Visual Anatomy, Head and Neck", and "Visual Anatomy, Thorax and Abdomen" are well known in medical circles.
In 1955 he received the Ciba Foundation award for Research in Ageing.

Dr. Friesen is an internationally renowned Canadian endocrinologist whose major research contributions relate to lactogenic and growth hormones from the placenta and pituitary. Subsequent to his identification of human prolactin, and the development of radioimmuno-assays for it, he has been a central figure in characterizing the synthesis and secretion of prolactin in health and disease as well as studying target tissue receptors for these hormones. He has, and continues to carry on an investigative career of singular productivity, systematically elucidating the biochemistry, physiology and pathophysiology of lactogenic hormones. Dr. Friesen continues to play a pivotal role in ongoing national studies of the therapeutic use of human growth hormone and in establishing the therapeutic efficacy of agents which control prolactin secretion. One of these now has been accepted world wide to be effective in decreasing elevated prolactin levels to normal, thereby correcting impaired fertility experienced by these patients. He has published over 190 scientific articles.

Bill Fyfe is a most distinguished earth scientist who has made important contributions to research, to education and to international scientific public policy making.
His early research applied modern inorganic and physical concepts to help understand the distribution of the elements in rocks and minerals. His book "Geochemistry of Solids" appeared in 1964 and was a landmark which helped change the direction of chemical earth science, by its wide influence.
More recently, since he came to Canada in 1972, he and his students have focussed attention on the importance of fluids, not only in transport and deposition or metals, but also on the history of oceans and on rheological properties of magma.
His extensive international field expeditions have led him into consulting activities of various kinds, from radwaste to agricultural chemistry, and from there into public science policy. He is a most effective protagonist for sane and rational resource husbandry. Within Canada he has recently been an active and far-seeing supporter of high quality science of every kind, and is a stimulating and imaginative advocate.

Fyles is acting head of the Geomorphology and Quaternary Research Division of the Geological Survey or Canada. In this position he is responsible for planning and directing much of the government of Canada's program of research in these fields. During the past few years he has been in a large part responsible for the active growth in Canada in this research. His own research has been largely in the Arctic aimed particularly at outlining major elements of geological history such as nature and extent of glaciation, regional variation in extent of marine submergence, occurrence of interglacial and preglacial deposits, and investigation of past and present geological processes under Arctic conditions. Fyles is also carrying out basic research on eskers. He acts as an advisor on the Limno-geology program of the Inland Waters Branch.

Hubert Gabrielse is the leader of an internationally recognized and extremely productive group of Cordilleran geologists. His clearly presented and well documented regional studies of extensive areas of the northern Canadian Cordillera have contributed in large measure to the definition and understanding of the stratigraphic, plutonic and structural record of this region. These have led further to the delineation of the major tectonic elements and to the recognition of various stratigraphic zones and geological situations favourable for mineral exploration. These accomplishments have permitted him to undertake perceptive syntheses of the tectonic evolution of the Cordillera, particularly its northern part, and demonstrates that he is one of the leading authorities in the geology of that complex region.

L'historien Claude Galarneau a démontré une belle maîtrise de son métier dans le champs des relations Canada-France et dans celui de l'éducation. Sa thèse sur « La France devant l'opinion canadienne 1760-1815 » constitue un modèle d'analyse et d'écriture historiques.
Fruit de plus de vingt années de recherches personnelles et d'enseignement, sa récente « Histoire des collèges classiques au Canada français » se classe sans conteste parmi les meilleurs travaux historiques des dernières années.
Homme d'étude avant tout, Claude Galarneau n'en reste pas moins préoccupé de l'évolution de sa société : il a participé en particulier activement à moult organismes voués à l'amélioration des systèmes d'enseignement secondaire et universitaire.
