Dr. Larry Milligan has made extensive contributions to the understanding of the metabolic physiology of ruminant animals, particularly cattle and sheep. His research has helped elucidate pathways of digestion and synthesis of compounds in the rumen (one of the four chambers in the stomach of cattle). Of major importance he has clarified how rumen microbes utilize ammonia for protein synthesis, and the physiological controls for the recycling of blood urea to the rumen for subsequent conversion to ammonia and use by the microbes. Using his basic research as the foundation, Dr. Milligan has been a leader in developing practical techniques for development and evaluation of feedstuffs for ruminants.

From the study of the varied opinions of electors to the study of the unchanging ways of bureaucrats, from the study of Britain to that of New Zealand, then of Malaysia and then of Guyana, Stephen Milne has offered and continues to offer an example difficult to follow: to be a pioneer in many fields and on various continents.

Dr. Milton is internationally recognized as an authority on nuclear fission. Since coming to Chalk River from Princeton University in 1951 he has carried out an energetic program of research on fission fragments and on the associated neutrons and gamma rays, much of it in collaboration with Dr. J. S. Fraser. This work has provided detailed understanding of the fissioning system just before and after it divides. He is currently investigating the energies and angular distribution of fragments in charged particle-induced fission to elucidate the nature of the fission barrier. In all his work Dr. Milton has combined imaginative physical insight with great experimental skill.

Mondialement connu par ses travaux sur Zola et par ses ouvrages sur le roman du dix-neuvième et du vingtième siècles, Henri Mitterand est professeur émérite à la Sorbonne nouvelle et professeur titulaire au département de français de Columbia University, à New York. Il a fondé un centre de recherches sur Zola au CNRS en France, et un autre au Canada, à Toronto où il a enseigné de 1970 à 1993. Ces centres ont été très actifs et productifs. Henri Mitterand a apporté une contribution remarquable à la critique zolienne, tant du point de vue littéraire que social. Il a, d'autre part, renouvelé par ses recherches la critique des textes littéraires.

Dr. Modi has an outstanding and international reputation in the field of satellite dynamics in which he has pioneered new methods of analysis and design. He is also known world-wide for his work on the aerodynamics of bluff bodies and for original experimental work on the hydrodynamics of artificial heart valves. He has been the recipient of many medals and other awards and is known around the world for the classically beautiful qualities of his photographic art.

Julius Arthur MOLINARO is no ivory tower scholar. He enthusiastically shares In tile activities of his discipline - in the class room, through the printed word and in the community. He founded the Dante Society of Toronto and the Italian Sub-Section of the Ontario Modern Language Teachers Association. He served with distinction as president of the Dante Society of Toronto and the Canadian Society of Italian Studies. For seven years he was editor of the journal "Renaissance and Reformation", and it is a tribute to Molinaro's sensitive and dynamic editorship that the journal has become the official organ of the newly-founded Canadian Society of Renaissance Studies. Molinaro has published widely and with insight, enquiring into questions of literary history and criticism, as well as translation and bibliography. Italian and Renaissance Studies in Canada owe a debt of gratitude to his stimulus and initiative. He is a leader in his field.

Milton Moore is an able theorist with an exceptional ability to relate economic theory to policy perceptively and imaginatively. He has made important contributions to our understanding in a number of areas, notably in public finance, resource economics and competition policy. To whatever he devotes his attention, he shows an acute sense of what is analytically relevant. He has a strong sense of professional responsibility to contribute to an understanding and resolution of critical issues of the day, as evidenced by his writing and by his work for a number of commissions and his submissions to many others. As a result, he has made considerable contributions both to his discipline and to our understanding of contemporary Canadian society. At the same time, he retains a strong and clear sense of the academic interest of the university and maintains a very high standard of scholarship in his research, writing and teaching.
