Howard Roy Krouse, Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, The University of Calgary, has achieved national and international distinction through his contributions to the theory of isotopic behaviour, instrumental techniques and the application of isotopic studies to a wide range of natural phenomena. Although he is multi-disciplinary and has actively promoted the use of stable isotope data for the understanding and solution of many problems, the emphasis and impact has been in the earth sciences. These contributions have been made by studying isotopes of sulphur, oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, selenium, tellurium, germanium, lithium and nitrogen. The result is a major improvement in our understanding of ore deposits, petroleum occurrences and dispersal patterns in the environment.

Few social scientists in Canada could claim such a diversity of experiences. Dr. Krotki has spent about thirty very productive years of his life in almost all continents, particularly in developping countries. Part of his reputation is related to his important contribution to methodological improvements in the measurement of demographic phenomena in these countries. Besides being a world leading researcher in that field, he has made remarkable contributions to the understanding of social implications of population phenomena, particularly in Canada. As a scholar and professor, Dr. Krotki is one of the leading demographers of this country.

John Kuehner went to McMaster in 1966 after ten very productive years at the Chalk River Nuclear Laboratory where he established for himself an international reputation in the field of nuclear spectroscopy. He was the first to carry-out particle-particle angular correlations, with one particle detected at O degrees to the beam, which led to his important discoveries of some of the high-spin rotational band members in the 2ONe. He was also a pioneer in the application of magnetic spectrographs to such difficult measurements. Since 1966 he has played a vital role in the development of the McMaster Nuclear Structure Laboratory. Recently he has been pioneering at McMaster the use of polarized ion beams in nuclear spectroscopy.

Arnis Kuksis has developed methods of lipid analysis that have led to world wide recognition as a leader in this field and have enabled him to make important discoveries in human and animal metabolism with special reference to the understanding and treatment of disorders of lipid metabolism including the disease, atherosclerosis. He has been an invited lecturer at international meetings on 30 occasions. He has published over 220 articles, and 48 major reviews. He has also edited three books and a two-volume treatise on fat absorption for CRC Press. He is one of Canada's most productive and distinguished biochemists and he could be considered the top person in his field in the world.

T. Kurtis Kyser is one of the leading geochemists in North America. The principal thrust of his work involves the use of stable-isotope geochemistry to solve important problems in the Earth Sciences. He has made major contributions to the establishment of a heterogeneous mantle for the Earth and has greatly advanced our understanding of sedimentary basins and their constituent fluids. His novel high-resolution chemical and isotopic work has, for the first time, provided us with a detailed picture of past and current processes that have formed these crucially important features of the North American continent.

Professor Labarge is one of the most widely-read (and readable) historians of medieval history in the world, as the multiple-publication and frequent reprinting of her books testifies.
Her work has won her a wider audience than most academicians enioy, but not at the expense of her scholarly reputation; her fellow medievalists agree that she richly deserved her Order of Canada. Her new book on women in the middle ages is likely to be another landmark: this distinguished scholar is uniquely well qualified to give us a fresh and reliable view of that currently popular field of study.

Fernand Labrie, directeur du Groupe du CRM en endocrinologie moléculaire, est à 41 ans l'un des chefs de file de la recherche endocrinologique contemporaine. Les travaux poursuivis sous sa direction ont permis, entre autres, d'éIucider plusieurs aspects fondamentaux du mécanisme d'action des hormones hypophysiotropes d'origine hypothalamique et de mettre en évidence la modulation exercée par les estrogènes, les androgènes et les progestines sur le contrôle de la sécrétion des hormones gonadotropes, ainsi que la médiation dopaminergique du contrôle de la sécrétion de la prolactine. La récente démonstration par son groupe de l'effet 'antifertilité' de la LHRH et de ses agonistes ouvre une nouvelle approche au contrôle de la fertilité chez la femme et chez l'homme.

John Coleman Laidlaw is distinguished for his many contributions to understanding of adrenal cortical function in health and disease. He was among the pioneers that developed quantitative methods of assessing adrenal cortical function while still a post-doctoral student. As an independent investigator, he has described the changes in production, disposition and biological activity of the major adrenal cortical hormones. Then focusing on the role of aldosterone in hypertension, he described two clinical syndromes which mimic Conn's syndrome but which are not associated with a solitary adrenal cortical adenoma, In his most recent work, he has developed a cell culture technique for studying the regulation of hormone production by adrenal cortical cells. Throughout his career he has served as a bridge between clinical medicine and laboratory investigation.
