Tom McFeat is a Canadian ethnologist of originality and distinction. His interest in traditional ethnology has been linked to sociology and social psychology in the tradition of the Harvard Laboratory of Social Relations. As Chief Ethnologist of the National Museum of Canada from 1959 to 1963, and in university positions, he has stimulated the understanding of the Indian cultures of North America, by his writing and his firm encouragement of the work of others. His work linking ethnography to the theory and method of other disciplines has culminated in his recent book on "Small Group Cultures". This demonstrates that the remote and controlled experiments of the small group laboratory can be applied with insight to the analysis of real situations from those of the army in sophisticated action to the complexities of tribal culture. Tom McFeat's work, widely respected, is daring, provocative, and yet carefully disciplined.

Hugo Meynell is a scholar whose work is notable for its perception, grace and versatility. In ten books and nearly one hundred and fifty essays he explores philosophy of religion, ethics, aesthetics, epistemology and music. A tireless champion of the role of reason in religious thought, he integrates philosophical reflection on the foundations of knowledge with the claims of religious experience. Equally at home in cosmological argument, the ethical dimensions of psychology, and the operas of Handel, he is living proof that the humanistic ideal of comprehensive scholarship can still be exemplified in our time.

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.

David NORTON has, on the strength of his numerous publications, been recognized, both in America and in Europe, as one of the outstanding historians of Eighteenth century British philosophy. In particular, he is a leading authority on the thought of David Hume, both as a historical and a philosophical writer. He has been entrusted with the preparation of the new critical edition of Hume's works, to be published in 8 volumes by Oxford University Press. His textual studies, his interpretation of Hume's moral philosophy, his comments on the traditional emphasis on Hume's epistemology are characterized by the strictest attention to detail, the mastery of previous research, a sharp critical sense, the originality of his approach and the soundness of his conclusions. The same features distinguish his presentation of Scottish common-sense philosophy.

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.

Ernest Sirluck is a graduate of the University of Manitoba, where he was a student of Professor E. K. Brown. After graduation he was commissioned in the army, and distinguished himself on active service in the European campaign. At the end of the war, he entered the School of Graduate Studies at Toronto, doing research on Milton under A. S. P. Woodhouse, who always spoke of him with affection and admiration as one of his most brilliant students. Dr. Sirluck also taught in University College and his unusual combination of military discipline, barrack-square voice, and imaginative and scholarly teaching made him something of a legendary figure around whom a number of good stories accumulated, most of them authentic. The brilliance of his mind and the firm energy of his character marked him for academic success, and in 1947 the University of Chicago appointed him to the Department of English. His publications on Milton and other seventeenth-century writers soon established his reputation, and he was invited to edit the second volume in the Yale edition of Milton's complete prose works, a volume which appeared in 1959, and whose reception established him as one of the continent's leading Miltonists. In 1962 he was invited to return to Toronto as Professor of English in University College and Associate Dean of the School of Graduate Studies. He succeeded Andrew Gordon as Dean, but retained his position and function in the Department of English, where he continues to offer Milton courses and to give public lectures. His very considerable abilities as an administrator have not quenched his powers or his enthusiasm for scholarship; he reigns without the tragic dichotomy which ruined that other Miltonic archangel.

Sharon Sutherland is an energetic luminary in three fields: first, political behaviour, to which she has contributed definitive work on attitude theory; second and third, linked by concern to have bureaucracies heed democratic choices, the study of bureaucracy, and parliamentary government. Recognized in Canada and abroad for apt choices of urgent topics and for precision and methodological innovation, her work deploys in penetrating criticism unique intellectual capital built up by taking part in various operations of the Canadian federal government. The criticism has been so knowledgeable that it has won assent both from political scientists, and, in time, from bureaucrats.

Michael Hadley, Department of Germanic Studies, University of Victoria, is an internationally renowned author of books dealing with German literature, popular culture, and naval history. Eighteenth-century novels are his first research area, and he has written major studies on the German gothic novel, the German novel in 1790, and the German novel from 1750 to 1800. More recently, Hadley has turned his attention to naval history and seagoing missionaries, writing prize-winning (and translated into German) books on U-boats against Canada, Canadian naval forces and German sea raiders 1880-1918, and the popular image of the German submarine. In his current work, Hadley has turned his skills toward yet another field: civic values in conflict, and the spiritual roots of restorative justice.

Dr. Joyce Beare-Rogers has spent her research career in the field of nutritional biochemistry, where her contributions have been largely in the application of lipid biochemistry to nutritional problems of fats and oils. In particular her studies of physiological changes, particularly cardiac lipid changes, in animals fed rapeseed oil containing erucic acid pointed to the need for the development of "zero erucic acid" rapeseed (Canola seed) which became a major oilseed crop in Canada. For her research in this area Dr. Beare-Rogers has won many Canadian and international awards and has been appointed to international Committees on the Nutrition of Fats and Oils. She has also contributed greatly to university teaching and laboratory training of students in nutritional biochemistry.

Outstanding achievement in the field of Physical Chemistry. Author of twenty-one papers in the fields of ionic solutions and surface chemistry. Best known for his quantum mechanical treatments of the lithium fluoride molecule and of the surface energy of crystalline lithium fluoride. Important contributions to the evaluation of lattice sums and to the experimental determination of the surface energy of crystalline sodium chloride. In the latter work performed unexcelled determinations of heats of solution of finely divided sodium chloride. Techniques now being applied in the direct measurement of the heats of micelle formation.

After a brief employment at two Government Laboratories (Defence Research Board in Kingston and Atlantic Regional Laboratory in Halifax), Dr. Bidwell joined the staff of the Department of Botany, University of Toronto. Seven years later he moved to Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio where a year later he became Chairman of their Department of Biology. He later moved back to Canada and joined Queen's University, Kingston, as Professor of Biology. Following his retirement in 1979, he served as Director of Atlantic Research Associatiates, a consulting group, and Executive Director of the Atlantic Institute of Biotechnology. An enthusiastic and productive worker, he is able to elicit the same qualities in his associates. He is internationally known for his work on metabolism of nitrogenous substance's effect of light on respiration. His administrative talents, ability to get along with people and broad cultural interests far beyond his profession, all mark him as a leader.
