The author of four distinguished scholarly books, thirty-five papers in refereed journals, more than ten contributions to edited publications, seven research monographs, and the general editor of a scholarly series consisting of twelve volumes, Dr. Anthony H. Richmond has clearly established his reputation as one of Canadals most productive sociological scholars. As an authority in the field of immigration, migration, and race and ethnic relations he has attained a reputation almost world-wide. Visiting appointments to universities in the United Kingdom and Australia, and invitations to present papers at international scholarly associations, offer a hint of the regard in which he is held by leading sociologists abroad.

Dr. Ricker was born at Waterdown, Ont. and received his university education (B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D.) at the University of Toronto. After a period of field work in Ontario he worked from 1931-38 with Fisheries Research Board of Canada studying the habits and scientific propagation of the sockeye salmon at Cultus Lake, B.C. From 1938-39 he worked with International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission at Hell's Gate and on the lower Fraser River. During 1939-50, he was Assistant Professor, Associate Professor and Full Professor of Zoology at the University of Indiana, and Director of the Indiana Lake and Stream Survey, and of research on the fish populations of Indiana. From 1950-62, he served as Editor of publications for Fisheries Research Board of Canada. He has a working knowledge of French, German and Russian. During 1962-63 and 1964-66, he was Biological Consultant to the Board and staff of the Fisheries Research Board and was Acting Chairman of the Board from 1963-64. In 1966, was made Chief Scientist (a first appointment) of the Board and during 1966-67 was Acting Director of Nanaimo Biological Station. Dr. Ricker is acknowledged internationally to be among the leading authorities on world fishery resources and, in Canada, as the foremost Fisheries Scientist. His many years of field investigation along with his knowledge of the East Coast and the fresh water fisheries of the Central Region have established his role as a chief consultant on matters concerning the Canadian fisheries. His Handbook of Computations for Biological Statistics of Fish Populations is used as a standard reference throughout the world. He is most concerned about the impending crisis of protein shortage in the world by the end of this century and the need for conservation and protection of Canada's most important renewable source of animal protein. He has worked vigorously to build up the salmon fishery through scientific propagation and to combat the factors and practices which threaten the marine resources, namely, predation, pollution of waters and careless overexploitation.

Eugène Roberto, arrivé de France au Canada en 1962, y poursuit depuis une carrière universitaire qui se partage entre l'enseignement et la recherche. Il n'a cessé depuis 1958 de publier le résultat de ses recherches, soit en France soit au Canada. Il a en outre fondé trois collections aux Editions de l'Université d'Ottawa qui ont fait connaître plusieurs chercheurs qui oeuvrent dans le même domaine. Il a fondé en 1963 les « Cahiers canadiens Claudel » qui, après une douzaine de publications, est devenu un des lieux de recherche les plus réputés sur les études claudéliennes. Eugène Roberto est aujourd'hui reconnu comme un des grands spécialistes des études sur Claudel et sur Gaston Miron. Ses recherches et ses publications font de lui un universitaire et un chercheur de grande classe.

From 1961 to 1975 Mr. J.A.L. Robertson has been a major contributor to Canada's nuclear power program through his research work on the irradiation behaviour of zirconium clad U02 fuel. These studies have covered deformation of fuel and cladding, diffusion of fission products in UO2, heat transfer between fuel and cladding, and the mechanical interaction between fuel and cladding. This work provided the scientific foundation for CANDU fuel. During the last five years Mr.. Robertson was principal coordinator of AECL's presentations to the Ontario Royal Commission on Electric Power Planning and has applied his encyclopaedic knowledge of the nuclear option to the study of other energy systems. His formidable ability to logical analysis and his scientific integrity have played an important role in retaining he nuclear option. The value of his work has been recognized internationally. He is the author of 5 papers and 1 book.
