Medievalist and Renaissance-Reformation scholar, Dr. James Kelsey McConica is an authority in the general field of European intellectual history. His principal works are concerned with two subjects: the institutional forms of learning in medieval and 16th century Europe, and the religious, political, and social contexts of humanist scholarship and thought. The first has recently culminated in Volume III of "The History of the University of Oxford: The Collegiate University" (1986) which everywhere reflects his magisterial shaping hand. The second is displayed in his important studies of European humanists and Tudor politics and, since 1974, his work on the prince of European humanists, Desiderius Erasmus, signally exemplified in Dr. McConica's leadership in planning and executing "The Collected Works of Erasmus", called (by a sober critic), 'one of the most massive and important enterprises of our time.'

Susan A McDaniel has transformed sociology in Canada. She has devoted her considerable scholarly energies to rethinking, reconceptualizing and realigning the ways in which social structural constraints impinge on human social life most intimately. She has been a pioneer in studying arenas of human activity: illegal abortion, sexual assault and harassment, childbearing from women's point of view, women's work-related health issues, women's participation in technological innovation. Her most important contribution, however, is in her involved, passionate, and yet sharply analytical frameworks, frameworks which are generating unconsidered research hypotheses.

Robert McGhee of the Canadian Museum of Civilization, is Canada's leading authority on arctic prehistory. His research and publications on Palaeo-Eskimo and recent Inuit prehistory and early history, as well as the peregrinations of Norsemen in Canada, have won acclaim from professional archaeologists and the general public alike. He has carried out fieldwork from the MacKenzie Delta to the High Arctic to southern Labrador. His research has been reported in many books and monographs as well as papers and articles. They reflect the scholarship and imaginative approach of a researcher and writer whose distinguished international reputation is richly deserved.

Alastair McKinnon, Macdonald Professor of Moral Philosophy, McGill University, has gained international recognition by three major contributions: first, through his substantial studies of Kierkegaard's thought; second, through the development and application of computer-based research on chronological and literary problems in philosophical texts, resulting in valuable works on Aristotle, Descartes, Leibnitz, and Wittgenstein; third, through his contributions to the Philosophy of Religion, culminating in his "Falsification and Belief", which attacks misconceptions of the language of religion and the nature of religious faith. His powerful originality, his diligence and range mark him as a leader in his field.

Professor McMaster, in 1965 the first to receive a doctoral degree in English literature at the University of Alberta, has made distinguished contributions to scholarship by her research and published work on Thackeray, Jane Austen, and Trollope. She is now a full professor at the University of Alberta, and in 1976-77 was a Guggenheim Fellow. She has given leadership in her field by her work in the organization of the Victorian Studies Association of Western Canada and assistance to several international conferences in English literature; she convened the highly successful international conference honouring Jane Austen's bicentenary which was held at the University of Alberta in 1975. This leadership has also been demonstrated in her creative presidency of the Association of Canadian University Teachers of English 1976-78.

Kenneth Douglas McRae is former chairman of the Department of Political Science at Carleton University, in which he is a Professor, and former Chairman of the Publications Committee of the Social Science Research Council of Canada. Kenneth McRae is Canada's foremost student of the ethnic politics of multi-national states. Starting his academic career as a political philosopher with the definitive editing of Jean Bodin's "The Six Bookes of a Commonweale", Harvard (1962) he became increasingly engrossed in political problems arising from the heterogeneity of the populations of modern states. He made a major contribution to, and is author (with Louis Hartz and others) of "The Founding of New Societies", 1964; wrote a perceptive and popular study of Switzerland ("Switzerland: Example of Cultural Co-existence", 1964); edited and wrote important parts of "The Federal Capital: Governmental Institutions", 1969; and recently edited and wrote parts of the best available presentation of current theories of a well-known group of scholars concerned with methods of reconciling differences in mixed states ("Consociational Democracy: Political Accommodation in Segmented Societies", 1974). His work has received international recognition; he is currently co-directing, with Arend Lijphart, the first joint workshop of the European Consortium for Political Research and the Canadian Political Science Association on 'Conflicts and Policy Options in Multinational Societies,' to be held in Louvain in 1976.

John Meisel stands out among the generation of Canadian political scientists of the post-war generation. From the publication of his first major book, "The Canadian General Election of 1957" (1962), he rapidly took his place as the outstanding practitioner in Canada of the new science of election studies, known as psephology. The most recent of his works is the brilliant "Working Papers on Canadian Politics", which appeared in 1973. He combines exceptional analytical insight with an urbane and graceful style. For many years he has served as general editor of the one of the Social Science Research Council of Canada's most outstanding series of studies - Decision Making in Canada". A graduate of the University of Toronto, he received his doctorate from the University of London in 1959. He has held fellowships from the Social Science Research Council of Canada, the Canada Council, and the Rockefeller Foundation. More recently, he has been the holder of a Killam Fellowship. In 1973, he was elected President of the Canadian Political Science Association.

William Michelson is S.D. Clark Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto and Associate Dean, Social Sciences, for the Faculty of Arts and Science. He received his education at Harvard and Princeton Universities. His research interests concerns the relationship between the social and cultural characteristics of urban populations and their social and physical environments. His contribution is widely recognized by scholars and urban planners in Canada and several other countries. His many publications on the interface of behaviour and physical context include "Man and his Urban Environment" (1976); "Environmental Choice, Human Behaviour, and Residential Mobility" (1977) and "Methods in Environmental and Behavioural Research" (1987). In recognition for his scholarly contribution, he has received, in 1987, an award from the Environment and Technology Section of the American Sociological Association.

An outstanding scholar and lecturer, Michael Millgate has established an unchallenged international reputation as biographer, editor, and critical expositor. He has won high praise for his works on William Faulkner and Thomas Hardy, including his biography of Hardy and his co-editing of the seven-volume edition of Hardy's "Collected Letters", and for his studies of the posterity-conciousness of authors, "Testamentors Acts: Browning, Tennyson, James, Hardy". His stature has been signalled by the award of such distinguished Fellowships as the Guggenheim, Killam, and Connaught. His seemingly inexhaustible energy and extensive administrative experience and talent are called upon frequently by national and international committees, councils, and presses.

Professor Henry Mintzberg is generally recognized as a seminal thinker in the areas of business policy and organizational theory. His international reputation and his frequent invitations to speak at some of North America's leading educational institutions reflect Dr. Mintzberg's success in providing the discipline of management policy with a conceptual framework, an empirical base and a substantial degree of intellectual content. He has already published two major volumes and has the third in his proposed five volume series in draft form. Articles by Dr. Mintzberg appearing in both practitioner publications and scholarly journals have been widely reprinted.

A professor of Comparative Literature and Slavic and East European Studies, Edward Mozejko has taught literature in Poland, Denmark, and Canada, and distinguished himself with seminal books, numerous scholarly articles, and major editorial undertakings. His published research covers the period from Romanticism to Post-Modernism in Slavic and other European literatures. Besides a truly multilingual background and outstanding philological skills, Mozejko's work displays a rare blend of erudition, literary sensitivity, and originality; Mozejko combines knowledge of advanced literary theories with a strong sense of history, but he never neglects the particular features of individual texts. He is one of the foremost North American comparatists with a specialization in Central and East European Studies.
