Bushuk's early work with Winkler at McGill produced new information on the role of H bonds in dough structure and rheology. With Benoit of Strasbourg, he developed the theory for the relationship of copolymer composition and its light scattering properties. His work on gliadin has led to a method for 'fingerprinting' wheat varieties for identification required in registration and wheat grading. He led the team that discovered the high milling yield and exceptional blending capacity of Glenlea - Canada's first utility wheat.

Dr. Buyers has made, primarily through the use of neutron scattering, extensive and crucial contributions, both theoretical and experimental, to our knowledge of the structure and the excitations of condensed matter, in particular of magnetic excitations in both ordered and disordered crystals. His work on solitons in CsCoBr3 and on magnetic properties of uranium compounds is especially noteworthy. He has made pioneering studies of phonon-phonon interactions, the structure of liquid neon, structural phase transitions in antifluorite crystals, and lithium intercalation in layered compounds. He has also developed many innovative experimental techniques for both neutron scattering and positron annihilation. He made the first experimental discovery of the mass gap in quantum integral-spin chains.

Bywater joined the staff of the Division of Applied Chemistry in 1950 to initiate an activity in Polymer science - a subject which at that time was virtually non-existent in Canadian universities. His work has dealt mainly with the elucidation of the mechanisms of the numerous types of polymerization reactions. This is detailed in his publication list. His success can be assessed by 6 - 8 expenses paid invitations to be a featured speaker at conferences on polymer chemistry in various parts of Europe and North America, his representation on editorial boards of polymer journals and his being a program chairman and a council member of the Gordon Research Conferences.

Alan Cairns' publications, positions, and work all testify to a vigorous and productive mind, of remarkable range. His first book was his Oxford D. Phil. thesis, "Prelude to Imperialism: British Rections to Central African Society, 1840-1890" (London, 1965.) His second, with three other scholars, was a survey of the needs and problems of the Indians of Canada, published by the Queen's Printer in 1967. ln 1971 he defended the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in a long and magisterial article, 'The Judicial Committee and its Critics', in the "Canadian Journal of Political Science". He was then Visiting Professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland; but his home has always been the University of British Columbia since his first university appointment, and where he has been Chairman of the Department since 1973. He is currently President-elect of the Canadian Political Science Association for 1976-1977.

Long Citation (for publication and press release)
Cameron is the model of the artist-scholar-teacher. Distinguished international institutions, such as the Tate Gallery St Ives, have presented solo exhibitions of his work. A pioneer of Video art, Cameron's work is central within the discussion of modernism and conceptualism in Canadian art history. His art is in prominent Canadian museum collections. Cameron's writing offers dazzling re-thinks of the history of modernism and post-modernism, influencing generations of thinkers. Cameron was an anchor intellectual force at Universities of Guelph, NSCAD and now Calgary. Recipient of the Governor General's Award for Visual Arts 2004, Cameron remains a principal figure in the arts in Canada.

Alastair Graham Walter Cameron, Senior Research Officer, Physics Division, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, Chalk River, is a world leader in the field of nuclear reactions at high temperatures and densities. A graduate of the University of Manitoba, with a doctor's degree from the University of Saskatchewan in 1952, he has recently been Senior Research Fellow at the California Institute of Technology. His work has led to a better understanding of the nuclear energy processes in stars, of the abundances of different elements in stars, and of the occurrence of stellar nova explosions at high densities and temperatures. Dr. Cameron's sound knowledge of nuclear physics, his bold imagination, and incisive mind have led him to make a remarkable contribution to nuclear astrophysics.
