Through his several books and many articles Professor Gideon Rosenbluth has established an international reputation as a specialist in industrial organization and as a statistician and econometrician. He is an economist with great technical competence and the highest of standards who never loses sight of the prime role of the of the social scientist to illuminate our understanding of society. He is particularly known for his books and articles on industrial concentration. He has made his contributions in association with Stanford University, Queen's University, the National Bureau of Economic Research, and latterly, the University of British Columbia. As an initiator of the special statistics conferences of the Canadian Economics Association he made an invaluable contribution to the improvement in the provision and use of economic statistics. His academic colleagues across the country recognized his outstanding qualities as a clear thinking forthright spokesman for the academic community by making him president of the Canadian Association of University Teachers, a position he filled with his usual distinction.

IAN ROSS, Department of English, University of British Columbia. With degrees from St. Andrews, Oxford, and Texas, Ross possesses a far-ranging knowledge of medieval, Renaissance, and Augustan Scottish literature. His "William Dunbar" is the standard book on that poet. His "Lord Kames and the Scotland of His Day" firmly relates the jurist, philosopher and literary critic to the culture of his time. Initially junior editor of the "Correspondence" volume in Clarendon Press's edition of the works of Adam Smith, Ross later assumed complete responsibility for the book. Subsequently he was one of the editors of "Essays on Philosophical Subjects" in the same edition. Ian Ross is a humane and versatile scholar.

Malcolm Ross is known throughout the English-speaking world as the author of two brilliant studies in Elizabethan and Jacobean literature, "Milton's Royalism" and "Poetry and Dogma", both of which have served to enlarge the understanding of the firmament of ideas in these epochs. His first published work was an article on Bliss Carman written while an undergraduate at Carman's alma mater. Since then he has exerted an increasingly seminal influence on Canadian literature, not least as editor of the "New Canadian Library" of which he was the originator. A distinguished professor and scholar he has performed the duties of many academic and administrative offices with outstanding
merit which have earned him universal respect and esteem. It is, however, primarily for his distinguished contribution to the literature of criticism that he is thought of by all who know his work.

Cynthia Ross Friedman investigates the reproductive capacity of dwarf mistletoes (Arceuthobium spp.), parasitic flowering plants found in Canada’s forests. Drawing upon her expertise in the fields of forest and urban ecology, microscopy, mathematical biology, and physics, her pioneering work explores the mechanism of explosive seed discharge in these parasites and has contributed greatly to our understanding of plant development as well as forest ecology and conservation.
Cynthia Ross Friedman étudie la capacité de reproduction du faux-gui (Arceuthobium spp.), une plante à fleurs parasite habitant les forêts du Canada. Fondés sur son expertise dans les domaines de l’écologie forestière et urbaine, de la microscopie, de la biologie mathématique et de la physique, ses travaux avant-gardistes explorent le mécanisme d’émission des graines dans ces parasites. Ils ont également permis de mieux comprendre le développement des plantes, ainsi que la conservation et l’écologie des forêts.

Dr. Rothstein is best known for his innovative studies on molecular mechanisms of ion transport, first with red cell membranes, and later with other types of mammalian cells and tissues. He has established an international reputation in his field as indicated by the many invitations he receives to present papers, to attend symposia, to write review articles, to act on several editorial boards and peer review committees and to serve as visiting professor throughout the world. Dr. Rothstein has been equally successful as a scientific administrator and he is generally acknowledged to have few peers in this area anywhere.

Widely regarded as the pre-eminent child-clinical neuropsychologist in North America, Byron P. Rourke is known principally for his seminal contributions to theory and research on the neuropsychology of learning disabilities in children. These contributions have broken new ground in the areas of sub-typing, classification, etiology, prognosis, and neurodevelopmental theory. His best known work is that relating to the delineation of the syndrome of Nonverbal Learning Disabilities (NLD) and the 'white matter' model that he has proposed to account for its neurodevelopmental dimensions and dynamics. Adaptive, academic, and psychosocial manifestations of NLD in many forms of neurological disease, disorder, and dysfunction have been documented by him and by numerous investigators around the world.

Dr. Alfred Rudin
Affiliation: University of Waterloo

Alfred Rudin is one of Canada's leading polymer chemists. He has gained international recognition for his work in an unusually wide area of polymer science. His work on polymer characterization has been ground-breaking, particularly with regard to polyolefins and polyvinyl alcohol, which are complex in structure and difficultly soluble. The ability to combine outstanding instrumental skills with a keen appreciation for practical spin-offs has been a hallmark of Rudin's research. His work on processing of thermoplastics has led to a recognition of the effects of processing history on viscoelastic behaviour of polymers. More recently, Rudin has turned his attention to synthetic aspects of emulsion polymerization, where he has achieved a world-wide reputation. This phenomenon has a significant impact on the design and control of polyolefins and on our understanding of rheological behaviour.
