His Grace Most Reverend Antoine Hacault

Monsieur le Chancelier,
J'ai le grand honneur de vous présenter ce soir Monseigneur Antoine Hacault, sixième évêque, cinquième archevêque de Saint-Boniface, homme qui se situe avec dignité dans la grande lignée des Provencher, Tache et Langevin.
Nat if de Bruxelles, ici au Manitoba, ou, entoure de ses dix-sept frères et sœurs, ii a connu les labeurs et les joies de la terne, Antoine Hacault a fait ses études primaires à l'école de son village. Puis, délaissant avec peine les siens et ce coin de pays qui le façonnait, il poursuit sa formation humaine, chrétienne et académique au College de Saint-Boniface, alors sous l'habile direction des Peres de la Compagnie de Jésus.
Ordonne prêtre au milieu de l'Église de son pays par Monseigneur Georges Cabana en 1951, ii sera, dans le prolongement dit: ses années de formation au Grand Séminaire de Saint-Boniface, envoyé a l'Université Angelicum de Rome, ou, au milieu des disciples de Saint Thomas d'Aquin, ii complètera un doctoral en théologie dogmatique. De retour dans son Église diocésaine, Monseigneur se voit confier la responsabilité de l'enseignement de la théologie au Grand Séminaire de Saint-Boniface. II y sera pour dix ans et laissera, auprès de ceux qui l'auront con nu pendant leurs années de formation, se l’unir d'une
personne bien branchée sur le Christ et sur l'Église, ouverte et accueillante, toujours prête à écouter.
Théologien personnel de Monseigneur Maurice Baudoux lors des travaux préparatifs au Concile Vatican II, Monseigneur Hacault participera comme prêtre-expert aux deux premières sessions de ce concile qui sera célèbre à Rome entre 1962 el 1965. Choisi par le Pape Paul VI, ii est élu évêque auxiliaire de Saint-Boniface en 1964 ou ii sera ordonné le 8 septembre par Monseigneur Baudoux et c'est dix ans plus tard qu'il deviendra le premier pasteur de cette Église diocésaine.
Père du Concile Vatican II, Monseigneur est l'une des rares personnes toujours actives aujourd'hui qui aura vécu el évènement a la fois comme prêtre et comme évêque et ce fait aura une influence déterminante sur son pastorat. En effet, homme d'Église, chercheur, guide, pasteur, a l'écoute de son peuple et de l’expérience toujours changeante du monde, ii cherchera, toujours et partout, a devenir cet évêque a la manière des apôtres.
Profondément ancre dans la réalité de son pays, ii acceptera la responsabilité de recteur du College universitaire de Saint-Boniface, accomplissant, l’ors de son mandat, le passage harmonieux a une administration de plus en plus ta ‘que. Toujours prêt a servir Dieu, dans et par l'annonce de l'Évangile - comme le témoigne sa devise épiscopat "In Evangelium servus Dei" - Antoine Hacault exercera une influence déterminante, aux niveaux national et international, dans le domaine de l'Œcuménisme.
Membre de la Commission d'Œcuménisme de la Conference des évêques catholiques du Canada de 1966 à 1987, ii en assumera a deux reprises la présidence, tout en œuvrant comme délègue auprès du Conseil canadien des Églises, du Groupe mixte de travail, du Dialogue national des évêques anglicans et catholiques. Aussi, appelé par le Saint-Père a mettre ses talents au service de l'Église universelle, il siègera de 1973 à 1981 comme membre du Secrétariat romain pour les non-croyants et de 1976 jusqu'à aujourd’hui au Conseil pontifical pour l'Unité des chrétiens.
Son témoignage au niveau mondial n'épuise passes ressources ni ses capacités. Membre de la Commission épiscopat de la liturgie au niveau national depuis 1987, ii est, en même temps, le president de la Conference des évêques catholiques de l'Ouest.
Chez nous, ici au Manitoba, et plus particulièrement au Manitoba français, Monseigneur ne cesse de chercher par tous les moyens à promouvoir l'Évangile, a la fois par la parole et par le geste. Ouvert a la réalité du monde moderne, ii se fait tout accueil a des initiatives di verses qui surgissent un peu partout dans son Église, acceptant, sans diriger de main forte, que l'Esprit se manifeste ou II veut. Dans cette profonde fidélité a ses racines, à la fois culturelle et religieuse, Monseigneur fait advenir chez nous l'Église de l'an deux mille.
C'est donne avec grande joie et fie rte que le College universitaire de Saint-Boniface honore l'un de ses anciens étudiants et de ses anciens recteurs qui célèbre cette année le vingt-cinquième anniversaire de son appel à servir l'Église de chez-nous comme évêque.
Monsieur le Chancelier, au nom du Senat de l'Université du Manitoba, je vous prie d'admettre Monseigneur Antoine Hacault, archevêque de Saint-Boniface, au grade de docteur en droit, honoris causa.

Monsieur le Chancelier,
J'ai le grand honneur de vous présenter ce soir son Excellence la très honorable Jeanne Sauve, Gouverneur général et Commandant en chef du Canada.
Native de Prud'homme en Saskatchewan, Madame Sauve étudia a Ottawa, au couvent Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire, collège du second degré, et a l'université de la même ville. Elle suivit ensuite des cours en sciences économiques a Landres, et plus tard a Paris au elle obtint un diplôme en civilisation française.
Pendant quelque dix années, de 1942 a 1952, Madame Sauve consacra al ors ses énergies a la jeunesse. Elle sut se distinguer de maintes façons dans ce domaine. Ainsi elle fut tout d'abord présidente nationale de la Jeunesse étudiante catholique. Elle fonda ensuite la Fédération des mouvements de jeunesse du Québec, pour enfin devenir adjointe au directeur de la section jeunesse de l'Unesco à Paris.
Au cours des vingt années suivantes, Madame Sauve fit carrière a la Société Radio-Canada, réseaux francs; ais et anglais, en qualité de scripteur, de journaliste et d'animatrice. Là encore elle sait se distinguer. Sa collaboration est requise aux réseaux américains NBC et CBS. Élue membre du Conseil des artistes en 1961, elle en assume la vice-présidence de 1968 à 1970. Son métier de journaliste la conduit à s’intéresser aux affaires publiques; ainsi devient-elle en 1964 Présidente de l'Institut canadien des affaires publiques. Elle parcourt alors le Canada et les Etats-Unis, donnant des conférences
sur les aspirations et les problèmes des Québécois. Ses talents la destinant presque naturellement au secrétariat général de la Fédération des auteurs et artistes du Canada, témoignage de la haute considération de ses pairs, elle est alors déléguée a de nombreuses assises internationales, dont le congrès des scénaristes du film et de la télévision à Moscou. Le Premier ministre du Canada la choisit comme l'un des sept membres fondateurs de l'Institut de recherches politiques.
Au cours de la décade suivante, Madame Sauve se consacrera à la politique. Élue députée au parlement fédéral, elle occupera tour à tour les fonctions de ministre d'État responsable des Sciences et de la Technologie, ministre de l'Environnement, ministre des Communications et ministre responsable des pays francophones au ministère des Affaires extérieures. Enfin, de 1980 à 1983, sur la proposition du Premier ministre, elle est élue à l'unanimité présidente de la Chambre des communes. Elle met alors en place les nouvelles structures administratives de la Chambre et fait appliquer de façon rigoureuse les prescriptions de la loi sur les langues officielles au Parlement, dans !'administration et dans tous les édifices de la Chambre des communes. Au cours de cette carrière politique remarquable, Madame Sauve a su dignement représenter le peuple canadien soit à des conférences aux Nations-Unies, soit encore en qualité de Chef de délégations dans de nombreux pays.
1983. Voici Madame Sauve devenue la 23e Gouverneur général du Canada. Elle a l'honneur d'être la première femme à occuper ce paste. Depuis cette nomination, elle continue de faire honneur au gouvernement et aux citoyens du Canada.
Madame Sauve a reçu maintes décorations dont celle de Compagnon de l'Ordre du Canada et Commandeur de l'Ordre du mérite militaire, ainsi que de nombreux doctorats honorifiques.
C'est donné avec fierté et grande joie que le College universitaire de Saint-Boniface à son tour reconnait publiquement le mérite de Madame Sauve.
Monsieur le Chancelier, au nom du Senat de l'Université du Manitoba, je vous prie d'admettre Son Excellence la très honorable Jeanne Sauve au grade de docteur en droit.

Mr. Chancellor, I have the honour to present James William Burns, B. Comm., M.B.A. (Harvard). Jim Burns was born in Winnipeg, the son of the late Dr. Charles William Burns, a well known physician and surgeon who .also received an Honorary Doctor of Laws from this University in 1954. Mr. Burns graduated from Gordon Bell High School and attended The University of Manitoba, receiving his Bachelor of Commerce degree in 1951. He immediately enrolled in the prestigious School of Business at Harvard University and obtained his MBA degree in 1953. Upon graduation, Mr. Burns was offered many opportunities upon which to establish a career in business. Fortunately for us in Winnipeg, Mr. David Kilgour, President of Great-West Life Assurance Company Limited, persuaded him that there was no better place to start than right here. Also, he was about to be married to a Winnipegger, Barbara Mary Copeland. Upon completion of the management trainee program in the marketing division, Jim went to Chicago for two years as supervisor of the branch. This experience would have a profound impact on the company. Returning to Winnipeg he rose through the management ranks, working closely with the branches in the U.S. In November 1969 he was appointed Director of Marketing, U.S. When Mr. David Kilgour retired as President, he, along with another well known alumnus of this University, Dr. Peter Curry, who was Chairman of the Board of Great-West Life, recognized Mr. Burns' managerial capabilities. The result was his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer in March, 1971. As CEO his style of management was ideal for the firm entering the decade of the 70's. It was during this time the U.S. division was formalized with its head office located in Denver, Colorado. In 1978 premium income reached an all-time high of $1 billion. At this point Dr. Peter Curry again played an important role in the career of Jim Burns. The Invest9rs Group had acquired 96 per cent of the shares of Great-West Life. Dr. Curry, as Chairman of Investors and Deputy Chairman of the Power Corporation of Canada Limited, owners of Investors, was very familiar with what Jim had accomplished and how he had done it. He realized that Power Corporation would bene'fit greatly from Jim's presence and set out to convince him ofthis. The outcome was Mr. Burns becoming President of Power Corporation in February 1979, and moving to Montreal. The move was made easier as Mr. Burns knew he was leaving Great-West Life in the capable hands of another alumnus of this University, Mr. Kevin Kavanagh. Besides, his talents were not lost to the firm as he became Chairman of the Board of Great-West Life and the Great-West Lifeco, Inc. Just as he had done in Winnipeg, Jim added a new dimension to the management of Power Corporation enabling that firm to find new and exciting ways to grow. In 1984 the company was reorganized in order to better co-ordinate the activities of its operating divisions. One division was the Power Financial Corporation which included three companies offering insurance, investments, and financial services. Mr. Burns was appointed President and CEO of this new division. Two years later he was made Deputy Chairman of Power Corporation and Chairman and CEO of Burns Power Financial. Lest one gains the impression that Mr. Burns devotes his attention only to business, letme say that our community , Montreal and our nation, have gained substantially from his abilities. The University of Manitoba has particularly benefited. When he was a trainee with Great-West Life, he was assigned to do media relations on behalf of the University for the Learned Societies Conference. He was involved in the 1961-62 capital fund campaign and served as President of the Alumni Association in 1962-63. To celebrate the City of Winnipeg's centennial in 1974, Jim convinced his Board to sponsor a symposium entitled "The Dilemmas of Modern Man". For three days, over 2,000 persons were brought to the leading edge of knowledge in a wide variety of disciplines by the scholars of the world. For this and his contributions to the University and his company he was named the recipient of the Alumni Jubilee Award in 1976. When our University celebrated its centenary in 1977, Great-West Life put together another successful symposium. In 1978, he again was involved in the capital fund campaign for the University. He is currently a member of the Associates of the Faculty of Management and has assisted in the current capital fund drive. When discussions began regarding the expansion of the National Hockey League Jim was one of the citizens instrumental in acquiring the Winnipeg Jets in order to bring the team into the League. Mr. Burns has been active in a political party and has served in an executive capacity on such organizations as the Conference Board of Canada and the Council for Business and the Arts in Canada. Jim Burns recognizes the value of higher education and the importance of applying the knowledge gained to uncover new avenues of thought. He has the ability to dig through a multitude of data and discover the true picture. Through his insights new windows of opportunities are opened. By creative organizational design and the development of human resources, he established a "passion for excellence" in organizations with whom he has worked years before it became a popular motto in management literature. As a result, many have benefited from his managerial capability. Mr. Chancellor, it is my privilege to ask, in the name of the Senate of The University of Manitoba, that you now confer on James William Burns the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa.

Monsieur le Chancelier,
C'est avec plaisir que je vous présente, ce soir, Monsieur Étienne Gaboury, architecte bien connu au Canada et dans quelques pays étrangers.
Il est né à Bruxelles au Manitoba. Après avoir, obtenu un baccalauréat ès arts du Collège de Saint-Boniface et un _baccalauréat en architecture de l'Université du Manitoba, il a fréquenté l'École des Beaux-Arts à Paris. Soucieux de marquer son travail au coefficient de la qualité et de la durabilité, et de côtoyer des maitres dans l'art architectural, Etienne Gaboury s'est vite engagé dans des foulées susceptibles de lui donner le coup d'envoi. Ainsi, il milite dans les associations des architectes du Manitoba, de l'Ontario et du Québec, dans l'Institut royal d'architecture du Canada, dans l'Académie royale canadienne des arts et dans le Conseil canadien du logement.
Bien vite distingué par le style unique des œuvres qu'il signe, l'architecte est invité à donner des communications à travers le Canada, aux Etats-Unis et à Hong Kong. On sollicite souvent son concours en qualité de juré pour l'attribution de prix, ou le choix de candidats dans des compétitions architecturales; sans parler de sa participation à l'Expo 67, au sein d'un comité chargé de la révision et de la réalisation des projets de l'Exposition mondiale. '
Les œuvres de Gaboury ont apporté au Manitoba une note d'originalité alliée à une beauté classique. Je souligne l'Hôtel de la monnaie, la Cathédrale de Saint-Boniface, Je Centre hospitalier Taché, les églises du Précieux-Sang et de Saint-Claude, les installations de Lower Fort Garry et l'Accueil colombien.
Mais Étienne Gaboury accepte aussi de relever de plus grands défis. À preuve, l'ambassade canadienne de Mexico et le Lycée de formation professionnelle d'Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. Il serait trop long d'énumérer ici la liste des créations remarquables de cet homme qui fait honneur à son Alma Mater, à sa province et à son pays. Car en plus d'entreprendre des initiatives louables et porteuses de grandes
responsabilités, cet "ancien" du Collège de Saint-Boniface a trouvé le temps de prendre la parole, ou la plume, pour partager avec auditeurs ou lecteurs son expérience riche et variée.
L'architecte de chez nous étant aussi un artiste, on ne peut s'empêcher d'évoquer le personnage de Gabrielle Roy dans La montagne secrète: Pierre Cadorai. Les parents de Gabrielle Roy ne sont-ils pas originaires de la même région que ceux d'Étienne Gaboury? Pierre Cado rai peint la montagne de son imagination, mais "il l'avait à son propre feu intérieur, coulé[e], fondu[e], pour ensuite [la] mouler à son gré en une matière qui n'était désormais plus qu'humaine, infiniment poignante. Et sans doute s'agissait-il plus de savoir qui avait le mieux réussi sa montagne, Dieu ou Pierre, mais que lui aussi avait fait œuvre de créateur".
L'artiste-architecte auquel nous rendons hommage, ce soir, a conjugué ses talents avec son imagination créatrice; par des œuvres tangibles, il a montré une voie possible aux artistes de la génération montante. Son excellence dans le domaine de l'architecture ayant été soulignée ~à quinze reprises par des organismes provinciaux ou nationaux, c'est avec grande joie que le Collège de Saint-Boniface, à son
tour, reconnait publiquement Je mérite de Monsieur Etienne Gaboury.
Monsieur le Chancelier, au nom du Sénat de l'Université du Manitoba, je vous prie d'admettre au grade de docteur en droit Monsieur Etienne Gaboury.

Monsieur le Chancelier,
J'ai le grand honneur de vous présenter le Professeur Albert Breton, bachelier es lettres et docteur en philosophie, mention économie, professeur à l'Université de Toronto.
Natif de la Saskatchewan, le docteur Breton fit ses premières études à Montmartre en Saskatchewan, et au College de Saint-Boniface, ou il obtint en 1951 son baccalauréats arts. Se destinant dès le début a une carrière universitaire, il enseigna, à tour de rôle, à l'Université de Montréal, à l'Université Carleton, à l'Université catholique de Louisiane, au "London School of Economics", et à l'Université Harvard. 11 fut nommé professeur d'économie à l'Université de Toronto en 1970, et en 1983, il fut professeur invite à l'Université de Perugia, en Italie.
Cette carrière de professeur distingue ne nous révèle pourtant qu'une des facettes de cet homme exceptionnel qu’est Albert Breton. Au-delà de sa compétence incontestée dans le monde universitaire, le professeur Breton a laissé une marque indélébile dans plusieurs autres domaines jusqu'ici. Sur le plan social, il fut associé, durant les années '50, à la vague libérale anti-duplessiste au Québec, et fut un
des collaborateurs, avec Pierre-Elliot Trudeau, Gerard Pelletier, Rene Levesque, et d'autres, à la revue Cite Libre, qui devait influencer et produire toute une génération de Québécois progressistes et réformistes.
Les conseils du professeur Breton furent sollicites par les hommes politiques pendant de nombreuses années. 11 fut nommé en effet conseiller principal du Premier Ministre du Canada en 1970, poste qu'il occupa jusqu'en 1979. Par la suite, il fut nommé vice-président du Comite de révision de la politique culturelle du Canada, comite préside par Messieurs Applebaum et Hebert, de 1979 à 1982. En 1982, il
fut nommé membre de la Commission royale d'enquête sur !'union économique et les possibilités de développement économique pour le Canada, communément appelée la Commission MacDonald. Le rapport de cette Commission d'enquête fut remis au Premier Ministre du Canada a la fin
de 1985 et influencera les politiques économiques et sociales de notre pays pour de nombreuses années.
Mais ce n'est pas uniquement le monde politique qui a sollicité les conseils du professeur Breton. En effet, des 1956, on le retrouvait Directeur de la recherche au Groupe de recherches sociales a Montréal, poste qu'il occupa jusqu'à 1965. Par la suite ii fut successivement membre du Comité sur l'économie urbaine pour la ville de New York (1972-1976), membre du Comité aviseur pour la recherche sur la comptabilisation des objectifs de I' Association nationale de la planification à Washington (1974-76); et, depuis 1974, ii est membre du Comité sur la politique économique canadienne de l'Institut C.D. Howe.
Du cote des arts et d~ la culture, outre sa participation au comité Applebaum-Hebert, le professeur Breton a siège comme membre du Conseil d'administration de l'École du théâtre national du Canada a Montréal de 1981 à 1984.
Mais au-delà de sa contribution à la formulation des politiques gouvernementales, au-delà de sa préoccupation de l'épanouissement de la culture au Canada, au-delà de sa carrière exceptionnelle comme éducateur, c'est comme académicien et universitaire que le professeur Breton s'est distingué durant toute sa vie. En plus d 'avoir enseigne dans les plus grandes universités canadiennes, le professeur Breton a effectué de nombreuses recherches dans son domaine de spécialisation, l'économie, ainsi que sur plusieurs autres sujets, notamment le fédéralisme, le bilinguisme et la bureaucratie.
Le College de Saint-Boniface et l'Université du Manitoba ne sont pas les premiers à honorer notre éminent invite. En effet, le professeur Breton est membre de la Société royale du Canada depuis 1976 et, en 1984, ii a été reçu officier de l'Ordre du Canada.
Au nom du Senat de l'Université du Manitoba, je vous prie, Monsieur le Chancelier, de décerner un Doctorat en Droit (honoris causa) au professeur Albert Breton.

II occupera le poste de directeur des services spéciaux jusqu’à sa retraite de la fonction publique en 1967.

Monsieur Muller ne profite pas de la retraite officielle pour se désintéresser de la cause de l'éducation. Ainsi, ii accepte d'exercer bénévolement la fonction de directeur général des écoles confessionnelles pendant une dizaine d'années. Durant cette période, il ajoute un rôle important en tant que conseiller auprès de l'École des sourds-muets, de la Société d'aide à l'enfance, du Senat des prêtres du diocèse de Saint-Boniface, et du service des repas a domicile.

Monsieur Muller a joué une rôle prépondérant au sein de divers organismes de l'Église catholique. II a été president de la Corporation catholique de la maison de retraite Villa Maria, du Conseil d'administration de la paroisse St. John Fisher et du Congrès national des retraites fermées. Fondateur du Conseil des Chevaliers de Colomb de Saint-Boniface, ii en a été le Grand chevalier. En outre, il a siégé au Conseil presbytéral du diocèse de Saint-Boniface et il a été secrétaire de la Conference des évêques au Manitoba.

En 1962, le pape Jean XXIII lui décerna le titre de Chevalier de l'Ordre de Saint-Grégoire et, en 1968, ii est récipiendaire de la médaille du centenaire du Canada.
Au nom du Senat de l'Université du Manitoba, je vous prie donne, Madame le Chancelier, de décerner un doctorat en droit (honoris causa) à Monsieur Celeste Muller.

Madam Chancellor: I have the honour to present Charles Hollenberg, B.Sc., M.D ., F.R.C.P. and F.A.C.P.

Dr. Hollenberg was born in Winnipeg, the son of Min a and Abraham Hollenberg. He received his early education in Winnipeg and graduated with honours in 1955 with the B.Sc. Med. and M.D. from the Faculty of Medicine, having achieved distinction as a mean football player as well as recipient of the University Gold Medal. Dr. Hollenberg continued his professional training at the New England Centre Hospital in Boston.

It was there where his life long interest in research on hormones and nutrition was kindled. His research demonstrated that the fat cell, far from being an idle storage depot for excessive calories consumed by the corpulant or accumulated in excess by the slothful. was in fact a dynamic cell with a sophisticated biochemical repertoire that was selectively and intricately summoned into action by hormones which regulate the flow of energy from and into the fat cell. Upon his return to Canada in 1960 he joined the Faculty of Medicine at McGill where he rapidly rose through the ranks to become full professor and Director of the McGill University Clinic.

The University of Toronto in 1970 recognized his superior qualities and recruited Dr. Hollenberg to become the Sir John and Lady Eaton Professor of Medicine and Chairman of the Department of Medicine, a position he held for eleven years. Upon relinquishing the chair in medicine Dr. Hollenberg was appointed as the first Charles Best Professor of Medical Research and Director of the Banting and Best Diabetes Centre in Toronto.

Besides his academic roles at McGill and Toronto, Dr. Hollenberg has served on major professional and National Scientific bodies. He has been a member of Council of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, President of the Canadian Society for Clinical Investigation. the Canadian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism, and the Gairdner Foundation.

For all these reasons, Madame Chancellor, it is an honour and a privilege for me to ask, in the name of the Senate, that you confer upon Charles Hollenberg, the degree of Doctor of Science, honoris causa.

Madam Chancellor: I have the honour to present Professor Neil Jenkins, Master of Science, Doctor of Philosophy and Doctor of Odontology.

Professor Jenkins was born in Wallesey, England, and received his early education in that city. He then studied for his Bachelor and Master of Science degrees at the University of Liverpool and for his Doctor of Philosophy degree at the University of Cambridge. Professor Jenkins has spent most of his career at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne from which he recently retired as Professor Emeritus.

He is well known internationally for his research on fluoride, saliva, dental plaque and diet and their relationship to dental caries and other oral diseases. Professor Jenkins is particularly well known for his textbook entitled "The Physiology and Biochemistry of the Mouth" which is now in its fourth edition. This book was the first synthesis of a very diverse field and was remarkably influential in helping to bridge the gap between the basic medical sciences and the practice of preventive dentistry in the clinic.

Professor Jenkins has made other important contributions by way of his role in graduate education and three of his students have achieved the rank of Professor of Oral Biology at this University.

Madame Chancellor, it is an honour and a privilege for me to ask, in the name of the Senate, that you confer upon Neil Jenkins, the degree of Doctor of Science, honoris causa. 27 May 1983 A. Naimark President

Following four years in the Canadian Army, he returned to university life, this time as a graduate student in Poultry Science at the University of British Columbia where he was awarded a Master of Science in Agriculture in 1948.

Before proceeding to his doctoral studies Morley Kare spent a year helping Europeans who had been displaced during the war to relocate in Israel, and for a time he fought as a member of the Israeli Army. He completed his formal education with studies in physiology in the Department of Zoology at Cornell University and was awarded his Ph.D. degree by that institution in 1952. Since then Dr. Kare has held academic appointments as a Professor of Physiology at Cornell University, North Carolina State University and the University of Pennsylvania. He has enriched each of these institutions by establishing teaching and research programs in Sensory Physiology, specifically on the chemical senses of taste and olfaction.

The overriding goal of his research has been to explore the significance of taste and smell in the biology of man and in the lower species. Fundamental research in this fascinating area has an important bearing on two of the world's most pressing problems, food and production and population control. Morley Kare is a scientist with an entrepreneurial flair. With his knowledge of the senses, he helped to attract the funds necessary to start a multidisciplinary centre to expand the studies of the mechanisms of taste and olfaction.

The Monell Chemical Senses Center was established in 1968, funded initially from a fortune made in Canadian mining by the engineer, Ambrose Monell. With Morley Kare as its Director, and over a hundred researchers representing both the natural sciences and the behavioural sciences, the Monell Center plays a unique role in the advancement of knowledge of the senses. Dr. Kare has authored over a hundred and fifty scientific publications and has edited monographs from the several international conferences that he has organized. Two of these dealt with "The Chemical Senses and Nutrition" and the most recent concerned the "Biological and Behavioral Aspects of Salt Intake". Among the several scientific honours received by Dr. Kare are the 1962 Borden Award for Research in Sensory Physiology, the 1969 Tanner Lectureship and the 1978 Underwood-Prescott Award from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

His enthusiasm and wit have made him a natural choice as a keynote speaker at scientific gatherings of the Institute of Food Technology, the Gordon Conferences, and countless others ranging from the Scientific Club of Winnipeg in 1964 to the American Space Association meetings in Hawaii in 1983. Dr. Kare's hobbies complement his research interest in the effects of oral stimulation on digestion.

He is an avid gardener and wine connoisseur. But it is his skill in the design of liqueurs that particularly delights his wife Carol, son Jordin, daughter Susan as well as other family members and friends.

Madam Chancellor, it is an honour and privilege for me to ask, in the name of the Senate, that you confer upon Morley Richard Kare the degree of Doctor of Science, honoris causa. May 26, 1983 A. Naimark President

Madam Chancellor: I have the honour to present the Honourable Pearl Kathryne McGonigal, Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba.

Pearl McGonigal was born in Melville, Saskatchewan, and received her education in that province. She moved to Winnipeg with her family in 1963. She pursued careers in banking and in merchandising, with energies which made these not incompatible with family responsibilities. Her manifold capabilities were also increasingly engaged in public service.

Her Honour has been a volunteer with the Lions Manor, Sherbrook Day Centre, the St. James-Assiniboia Inter-Faith Immigration Council (of which she has been chairman), the Vestry of St. Andrew's Anglican Church, the St. James Business and Professional Women's Club, and she is a past president of the Winnipeg Lionelles.

Mrs. McGonigal's public service has also been manifested through service on the Manitoba Environmental Council, the Board of Directors of the Winnipeg Convention Centre, the Manitoba Aviation Council, the Grace General Hospital Board of Management, the Winnipeg Convention and Visitors' Bureau, the Board of Management of the Winnipeg Home Improvement Program, and the Board of Directors of Rainbow Stage.

During the past decade and more, Mrs. McGonigal has contributed significantly in the municipal sphere. Her record in civic affairs began with her election in 1969 to the St. James-Assiniboia City Council: the first woman to be so elected. Subsequent to the amalgamation of the municipalities in the Winnipeg area, Mrs. McGonigal was elected to the Greater Winnipeg City Council in 1971 and thrice thereafter - on two occasions by acclamation, a fact which, I suggest, amply attests to the quality of her service and to the respect in which she was held by her constituents.

While a member of Winnipeg City Council, Mrs. McGonigal was a staunch advocate of our City's interests and potential. She served at various times as a member of the Executive Committee and the Committee on Environment, as Chairman of the Sub-Committee on Centennial Celebrations, and as Chairman of the Committee on Recreation and Social Services. She was elected Deputy Mayor and Chairman of the Executive Policy Committee in June 1979 and again in October 1980.

In October 1981, Mrs. McGonigal was appointed Lieutenant-Governor o f the Province of Manitoba. Whatever the City may have lost thereby, we Manitobans acquired an energetic and gracious representative of the sovereign. She has brought to her position her dedication to service, her experience in public affairs, her charm, and her wide interests in all things Manitoban.

Somehow, Mrs. McGonigal managed to find the time during her civic service to write a weekly column for suburban newspapers from 1970 to 1981, and, appropriately enough for someone who lists cooking amongst her hobbies, to publish in 1975 the Frankly Feminine Cookbook. Mrs. McGonigal has been supported in her work and her service by her husband Marvin and their daughter Kim.

Madam Chancellor, it is an honour and a privilege for me to ask, in the name of the Senate, that you confer upon Pearl Kathryne McGonigal the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa.

Madam Chancellor: I have the honor to present to you one of the major figures in Manitoban education of this century, a man with a long and distinguished career in every phase of the enterprise.

Dr. Wesley C. Lorimer began his teaching career in Saskatchewan in 1931. Following service in the Royal Canadian Air Force, he returned to serve as a teacher educator and as a superintendent of schools in that province. In 1948 he was appointed Director of Research for the Winnipeg School Division, and in 1953 he became the superintendent of that division, a post he held for fourteen years. His reputation as a sound builder and leader of vision would be secure if he had done no more. He guided the division through the period of its greatest growth and development, and left an imprint, not just of sound management, but of vision and compassion. In 1967 he was appointed Deputy Minister of Education for Manitoba.

It soon became evident that he brought to this task the same vision, depth of concern and attention to details that he had earlier demonstrated. He was able to translate government policies into effective practices as we came to the climax of the era of unprecedented growth. He has the happy and uncommon knack of drawing from every staff member his or her best efforts; of leading us in such a way that we can say we did it ourselves. In 1973, Dr. Lorimer became the Deputy Minister of the new Department of Colleges and University Affairs. Once again, his foresight and sound planning ability were needed in the creation and evolution of our community colleges and in defining their place in the full spectrum of post-secondary education.

Since attempting to retire, Dr. Lorimer has been called back, first to again serve the Department of Education, and then as Chairman of the Universities Grants Commission and as superintendent of the Winnipeg School Division. His contribution has been first to this province. It is right and proper that he should receive this recognition among his friends and colleagues. He has, in fact, avoided the thin veneer of publicity, and it comes as a mild surprise that he is well-known across the nation for his work with the Council of Ministers of Education, the Western Canadian Post-Secondary Coordinating Committee, the International Bureau of Education and at Commonwealth Education conferences.

Dr. Lorimer's career spans the last half of the century of teacher education in Manitoba that we are celebrating in 1982. It also spans every phase of education. He has been a classroom teacher, a school administrator, a researcher and a director of research. He has built programs for the primary grades, has chaired the Universities Grants Commission, and has influenced everything between them. He has been tested as a leader in two major eras of education. His sense of direction was first challenged in the excitement, turmoil and unprecedented growth of the post-war period. and it has been tested again in a decade of retrenchment and some dismay.

Through both eras, Wes Lorimer has been at the center, promoting, shaping and leading the development of education in Manitoba. He has been true to his vision and true to our trust. Madam Chancellor, it is an honour indeed for me to ask, in the name of the Senate, that you confer upon Wesley C. Lorimer the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa.

A. Naimark President May 27,1982

Madam Chancellor: It is a privilege and ~n honour to present to you Dr. Brenda Milner, B.A. and M.A. (Cantab.), Ph.D. (McGill), Sc.D. (Cantab.), LL.D. (Queen's), FRS, FRSC, Professor of Psychology at McGill University, Montreal.

Dr. Milner was born in Manchester, England, and attended Withington Girls' School. She began her University studies, at Newnham College, Cambridge, in Mathematics but changed fields to experimental psychology and graduated B.A., with a starred First Class Honours degree, in 1939. She was then awarded a research studentship, but with the outbreak of war her research thrust was diverted. She spent the early years of the war devising perceptual tasks that were used in the selection of air crew.

From 1941 to 1944 she was an experimental officer for the Ministry of Supply, studying methods of display and control to be used by radar operators. In the latter year she married Peter Milner, and came to Canada, supposedly for a short while; in fact Canada has been fortunate to have Dr. Milner as one of its own ever since.

A fluent francophone, Brenda Milner's first academic post was at the then newly founded Institut de Psychologie at the Universite de Montreal. There she set up a laboratory and taught comparative and experimental psychology from 1944 to 1952. During part of this time, Milner also worked towards her Ph.D. degree at McGill University, under the direction of Dr. Donald Hebb. She began her long-time association with the Montreal Neurological Institute in 1950, and completed her doctoral dissertation, on "Intellectual Effects of Temporal-Lobe Damage in Man" in 1952, since which time she has held successive appointments at McGill University.

Dr. Milner's studies have made a major scientific contribution to our understanding of brain-behaviour relationships in humans. Through systematic investigation, she discovered that a global memory loss is associated with bilateral damage to the hippocampal regions of the human brain. This finding led her to focus much of her subsequent research on the analysis of brain function in memory and memory disorders. She has shown, for example, that an impairment of verbal learning and verbal memory is associated with damage to the left temporal lobe of the brain and its underlying structures. She and her students have also demonstrated the importance of the right temporal lobe in visual, auditory and tactual pattern perception. Dr. Milner has played a leading role in several learned societies.

She is the author or co-author of over 60 research publications. She has received awards for distinguished contributions to science from both the Canadian and the American Psychological Associations. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society, of the Royal Society of Canada, and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and is a Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Science of the United States.

Since 1964, she has been a Career Investigator under the auspices of the Medical Research Council of Canada. She has been recipient of awards, prizes and fellowships, and has been asked to give a number of invited lectures to distinguished gatherings.

Madam Chancellor, in the name of the Senate, I request that you bestow upon Brenda Milner, scholar of high distinction and of personal modesty, the Degree of Doctor of Science, honoris causa.

May 26, 1982 A. Naimark President

Madame le Chancelier, II me fait énormément plaisir de vous présenter monsieur Olivier Tremblay, éducateur bien connu par les Franco-manitobains.

Natif du Québec, monsieur Tremblay a fait ses études primaires au College St-Patrice à Rivière-du-Loup et ses études secondaires au College Notre-Dame-des-Champs à Sully. En 1949 il recevait un brevet complémentaire d’enseignement au scolasticat école normale de Rigaud et quelques années plus tard un brevet supérieur d'enseignement. L'université Laval lui décernait en 1962 le grade Baccalauréat en pédagogie et en 1967 une licence en pédagogie. Pendant les quinze années qu'il a fait la classe au niveau élémentaire et secondaire, monsieur Tremblay a connu énormément de succès dans le domaine de l'enseignement. Cependant en 1963, il choisissait de donner une différente orientation à sa carrière d'éducateur en acceptant un poste au Bureau de planification du Ministère de l'Education du Québec.

Quelques années plus tard il devenait directeur adjoint du bureau régional de Montréal. De 1968 à 1972, il s'est vu affecte à trois importantes missions de développement régional, soit en 1968 comme représentant du Ministère pour le développement de la région du Saguenay-Lac Saint-Jean, en 1969 le Nord-Ouest Québécois et en 1970 représentant à la Commission de développement de la région de Montréal. En 1972, on le nommait conseiller-cadre au Bureau du sous-ministre du Québec. Peu de temps après, à la demande du gouvernement manitobain, il acceptait de se rendre au Manitoba pour œuvrer au ministère de l'Education a titre de consultant au service de Planification et Recherche.

En 1974, il acceptait à nouveau d'être prête au ministère de l'Education du Manitoba, cette fois à titre de coordonnateur de l'Education française. En somme, le gouvernement manitobain confiait à monsieur Tremblay la responsabilité de mettre en marche tout le mécanisme nécessaire a la mise en vigueur de la loi 113 du Manitoba, loi qui permettait enfiri d'utiliser la langue française comme langue d'enseignement dans notre province. Le tâche était énorme; le de ti à relever presque insurmontable. II fallait vaincre des résistances de toutes sortes, entre autres les traumatismes historiques qui avaient enraye chez la majorité la volonté même de survivre, résistances des éducateurs, des parents, des commissions scolaires qui se complaisaient dans un statu quo devant conduire à l'assimilation certaine.

II fallait rassembler les quelques forces vives et les bonnes volontés isolées pour établir un processus de vastes consultations et de concertations devant conduire à l'établissement de structures qui permettraient enfin aux Franco-manitobains et a toutes autres personnes intéressées à l'éducation française de réaliser leurs désirs. Pour ce faire, en dépit de tous les obstacles rencontres, il a réussi à mettre sur pied le Bureau de l'Education Française qui est ni plus ni moins le Ministère de l'Education française, dirige par un Sous-ministre adjoint avec qui travaille une importante équipe de conseillers pédagogiques et d'administrateurs. II a réussi, en dépit de tous les obstacles, à faire démarrer le concept de l'école française dans divers milieux de la province, sans oublier les milieux les plus éloignés, les moins favorises. II a su par un programme de recherches démontrer que l'éducation française ne viendrait pas nuire au développement intégral de l'enfant. II a su développer chez les Francophones un leadership confiant et éclaire devant venir assurer le développement et la continuité de son travail. II a su s'intéresser à la formation des maitres et à mettre sur pied des programmes de perfectionnement des enseignants ... et il faut en passer. Médiateur in fatigable, cataliseur d'énergies et rassembleur d'hommes, Olivier Tremblay mérite au plus haut degré la reconnaissance officielle des Franco-manitobains par l'intermédiaire de la plus haute instance académique de notre milieu. Au nom du Senat de l'Université du Manitoba, je vous prie donc, Madame le Chancelier, de décerner un doctorat en droit (honoris causa) a monsieur Olivier Tremblay. Le 1 er juin 1982 A. Naimark President

Madam Chancellor:
I have the honour to present to you an outstanding graduate of The University of Manitoba, a man with a distinguished career both as a scientist and as a university administrator.
A native of Steinbach, Manitoba, Dr. Erich Wolfgang Vogt graduated from the University of Manitoba in 1951 with a B.Sc. (Hons.) degree in Physics. On that occasion, he received the University Gold Medal for studies in Science. The following year, Dr. Vogt remained at this University, earning his M.Sc. degree in Physics whereupon he travelled to Princeton University to study for his Doctorate in Theoretical Physics, which he received in 1955.
After leaving Princeton, Dr. Vogt served for ten years as a research officer at the Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories, the last five of which as senior research officer for physics. While still at Chalk River, he was invited to spend the 1958-59 academic year as Associate Visiting Professor at the University of Rochester.
Since 1965, Dr. Vogt has been Professor of Physics at the University of British Columbia. From 1968 to 1973, he served as Associate Director of the TRIUMF project, a major nuclear accelerator installation operated jointly by the University of British Columbia, the University of Victoria, Simon Fraser University and the University of Alberta. This accelerator is one of only three facilities of its type, known as meson factories, in the world, and scientists from both Canada and overseas, including some from the University of Manitoba, come to participate in important research projects in basic studies of matter and in medicine. From 1974 to 1980, Dr. Vogt was Chairman of the Board of Management of the TRIUMF project, and since 1981 he has been its Director.
Dr. Vogt has an international reputation for his outstanding work in theoretical studies of nuclear reactions, nuclear structure, and intermediate energy physics. He has published more than 50 original research papers in these areas. In recognition of this scholarly work, he is widely sought as a speaker at scientific meetings and international symposia.
Dr. Vogt is a Past President of the Canadian Association of Physicists, a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a Past Chairperson of the Science Council of British Columbia, and the Editor of a scientific publication, Advances in Nuclear Physics.
Dr. Vogt has also played a major role in university administration, serving as Vice-President (Faculty and Student Affairs) of the University of British Columbia from 1974 through 1980. In this capacity he applied his extensive academic background and knowledge of human relations in introducing innovative approaches to university administration.
Many honours have already been bestowed upon Dr. Vogt. He spent the period 1971 to 1972 at Oxford University as a National Research Council Senior Travelling Fellow. In 1967 he was awarded the Centennial Medal of Canada, and in 1970 he became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. In 1976 he was made an officer of the Order of Canada, and in 1977 he received the Queen Elizabeth Jubilee Medal.
Dr. Vogt has served the scientific and academic communities in many ways through membership on national committees and study groups. He has also been a long-time and continuing friend of this University, returning to his alma mater many fold the benefits that he received from his education here.
Madam Chancellor, it is an honour indeed for me to ask, in the name of the University Senate, that you confer upon Erich Wolfgang Vogt the degree of Doctor of Science, Honoris causa.

Madam Chancellor:
I have the honour to present Dr. Leo Yaffe, B.Sc., M.Sc. (Manitoba), Ph.D. (McGill), D. Lett. (Trent).
Dr. Yaffe is a distinguished son of this university and one who gained an insight into and a fascination with chemistry in part from his lessons from another of our honorary graduands, Dr. Alan N. Campbell. Dr. Yaffe's first published scientific paper, The Ternary Alloy System Silver, Lead and Aluminum, co-authored by Dr. Campbell and two others, appeared when Dr. Yaffe was still not old enough to vote.
His interest in becoming a research chemist led him, as it has led so many young Canadians, then and now, to McGill University in Montreal, where he began to study and learn about those fascinating reactions in which atomic nuclei divide and elements change their very nature. It is as a student of nuclear fission and the mechanism of nuclear reactions that Dr. Yaffe has made a reputation as an outstanding Canadian scientist. He has contributed to both fundamental and applied areas of nuclear science, and today about half of his research output is devoted to the application of nuclear science to archeology.
After completing his doctoral studies at the precocious age of twenty-three, Dr. Yaffe moved to the new laboratories of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., at Chalk River. There he served as Project Leader in the Nuclear Chemistry and Tracer Division. In passing, he had his first encounter with politics, acting as the Mayor of Deep River, Ontario, for two years. In 1952, he returned to McGill as a Special Lecturer in Chemistry. There he began his authoritative work on the counting of beta radiation.
In 1958 he became Macdonald Professor of Chemistry; sixty years earlier, McGill's first Macdonald Professor was Ernest Rutherford, the discoverer of the atomic nucleus. From 1963 to 1965 Dr. Yaffe was on leave to be Director of Research and Laboratories of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna where he devoted his efforts to furthering the peaceful uses of atomic energy. Dr. Yaffe returned to McGill in 1965 as Chairman of the Department of Chemistry; and in 1974 he became Vice-principal (Administration) of his university. Last year he gave up the dubious joys of the administrator to return to his first love, research in nuclear chemistry.
The list of Dr. Yaffe's honours is a long and impressive one. He is a fellow of the Chemical Institute of Canada, of the American Physical Society, and of the Royal Society of Canada. He is a member of the Board of Governors of the world-famous Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, and of the Pulp and Paper Research Institute of Canada. He has served his science on editorial boards and research committees and as a widely-travelled lecturer. Last year he was the recipient of the American Chemical Society's Award for Nuclear Chemistry, and this year he is the President of the Chemical Institute of Canada.
These represent only a short selection of the academic honours that have been paid to Dr. Yaffe by his peers, and it is clear that we have with us today a man who has contributed both widely and deeply to Canadian life. He is not a narrow scientist but a man of wide interests outside his professional field. He is a graduate of this university in whom we can take special pride.
Madam Chancellor, it is an honour and a privilege for me to ask, in the name of the Senate of the University of Manitoba, that you confer on Leo Yaffe, the degree of Doctor of Science, honoris causa.

Madam Chancellor: I have the honour to present Dr. Alan Newton Campbell, Emeritus Professor, University of Manitoba, Bachelor of Science, Dr. of Philosophy, Doctor of Science, Honorary Fellow, Chemical Institute of Canada, Fellow, Royal Society of Canada. Not many of his friends and colleagues know that this upstanding Scotsman was actually born in Halifax, Yorkshire, England in 1899. However, he has assured me (and this is very obvious after a moment's conversation with him), that he is not an Englishman. In his youth, he did have an inclination toward the study of English literature, but his father advised him that it would be difficult to earn a living at this and encouraged him to pursue the study of science.

This was very good advice, to which many students and colleagues of Dr. Campbell can attest. He went on to graduate with a B.Sc. at the University of London in 1921, a Ph.D., University of London in 1924 and became a Doctor of Science (by thesis) at the Aberdeen University in 1927. After having lectured and conducted research at Aberdeen University for several years, he arrived in Winnipeg in 1930 to assume the post of Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba and to teach physical chemistry. He has said that it was considered "quite an adventure for a young man to emigrate to Canada, especially to what most people considered that vast wasteland west of the Great Lakes." Part of that adventure and challenge was to set up a research program in physical chemistry with the munificent budget of $80.00 which Dr. Parker had assigned for that purpose. Dr. Campbell states that he was given a "free hand" with this money and he began purchasing the first equipment for the laboratory. Thus began a career and association with this University of more than 50 years and which continues to this very day.

As Emeritus Professor he actively pursues his research career, still attracting large financial grants-in-aid, and publishing the findings of his current research. One can gain some idea of the man's energy and enthusiasm through the fact that some of his most important research publications are based on work done after the cessation of active teaching in 1969 when he was 70 years old.

The '30's were lean and difficult years at the University. The young Assistant Professor developed a maxim to which he has been true to this day, and which he imparted to students, which stated: "Never use a complex instrument when a simple one will do almost as well." The department in those days consisted of three faculty members in addition to Dr. Parker. His colleagues were Dr. Paul Hiebert, and Dr. H. P. Armes; all distinguished men. By 1937 Dr. Campbell was an Associate Professor and by 1945 he was a full Professor and Head of the Department until 1966. Under his headship, the department grew in numbers of faculty and students, and added a Ph.D. program of studies in 1950. In 1960, again due to efforts of Dr. Campbell and colleagues, the Parker Chemistry Building was erected on campus, replete with modern classrooms, research equipment and modern laboratories. I quote from his colleagues who note that "by his example Dr. Campbell was instrumental in transforming what was primarily a teaching institution into a University as it is today."

As a teacher, Dr. Campbell can observe with gratification the careers of the more than 160 students guided by him through their M.Se., and PhD. degrees. Many of these students were recipients of fellowships which led to doctoral studies at Oxford. Amid their distinguished ranks we find three of his former students on whom this University conferred honorary degrees. Two of these were just so honoured at last Spring's Convocation; those being Dr. S. Epstein and Dr. D. G. Rea. The time has finally come to honour their mentor. Dr. Campbell's contributions to the study of chemistry, especially as it applies to phase rule, electrochemistry and chemical equilibria have been nationally and internationally recognized. He has written a text book on Phase Rule and has produced more than 230 publications (30 of them between 1970-1980). He is an Honorary Fellow of the Chemical Institute of Canada (a very rare and exclusive award, one of eight such awards in the whole of Canada). He is a Fellow, Royal Society of Canada; (Dr. Campbell tells me that it is somewhat easier to get into Heaven than into the Royal Society.) He was given the Chemical Education Award of the Chemical Institute of Canada, 1971 (this award, of which only one has been made each year since 1968, is given for distinguished contributions to the teaching of chemistry at the university level in Canada), and he was made an Emeritus Professor, University of Manitoba, in 1969. His membership in Learned Societies includes that of the Royal Institute of Chemistry in the u.K., the Chemical Society of the U.K., the Chemical Institute of Canada and the Royal Society of Canada. We have here a man who is described by his colleagues as a phenomenon; a rare coming-together of intellect, practicality and wit.

He is a scholar in the broadest and most classical sense of the word, a teacher revered and respected by students and colleagues alike, a man who sets the same high standards for himself as for others, a tireless administrator, a man of charm and humour; and he managed all of this, somehow, without ever taking a Sabbatical.

Madam Chancellor, it is an honour and a privilege for me to ask, in the name of the Senate, that you confer upon Alan Newton Campbell the degree of Doctor of Science, honoris causa. May 28,1981 D. R. Campbell President

Madam Chancellor: I have the honor to present Dr. Charles Frederick Code, Doctor of Medicine, Bachelor of Science, Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Science, Fellow in Physiology and Medicine, an internationally respected scientist, physician and teacher.

Dr. Code was born in Winnipeg, completed his undergraduate education at the University of Manitoba, where in 1930 he was awarded the University Physiology Research Prize and Gold Medal. He earned his M.D. degree at this University in 1934, and the same year became a Research Fellow of the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine where he began his career in Research. In 1936, he went to London, England, where he worked with Sir Henry Hellett Dale at the National Institute for Medical Research. At this time also he was appointed Lecturer of Physiology at the University College, London, where he became an associate of Sir Charles Lovatt Evans. During this time Dr. Code's research centered on histamine in white blood cells and for his work in this field, he was awarded the Bay liss-Starling Memorial Scholarship. These two years spent in London were important in molding the career of Dr. Code and in addition to his exposure to various research skills. and the design of experimental procedures, he was undoubtedly, profoundly influenced in other ways by the talent and genius of these two mentors.

In 1937 Dr. Code returned to Minnesota and was appointed First Assistant in Experimental Surgery at the Mayo Foundation and Clinic under Dr. Frank C Man, and in 1938 became Instructor in Physiology at the University of Minnesota. While there he received the Theobald Smith Medal and Award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1940, the same year in which he received his PHD degree from the University of Minnesota, Dr. Code returned to the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine to begin a long and productive professional association. He became successively Assistant Professor, Associate Professor and Professor of Physiology at the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine. The Mayo Institutions have influenced the lives of thousands of Physicians and Scientists.

It has been said that only a few men have had the rare privilege and ability to significantly influence the Mayo Institutions. Dr. Code is among this selected group. Dr. Code served as Co-Chairman and Chairman of the Department of Physiology from 1949 to 1966 and he was a member of the Mayo Clinic and Foundations Board of Governors for seven years beginning in 1957. He also directed Medical Education and Research for the Mayo Foundation from 1966 to 1972. Dr. Code's interest in Gastroenterology began when he was at the University of Minnesota where his earlier research on histamine was applied to the experimental production of ulcer and another career was begun. His contribution to this field was recognized in 1974 by The American Gastroenterological Association who awarded him The Julius Friedenwald Medal for outstanding achievement in Gastroenterology. In 1976 he was named CU.R.E. Man of the Year. He received further recognition in 1978 when the degree Doctor of Science honoris causa was bestowed on him by the Medical College at Wisconsin.

From 1976 -1980 Dr. Code held the positions of Associate Chief of Staff at the Veterans Administration, Wadsworth Hospital Center, Los Angeles and Associate Director of CU.R.E. (Center for Ulcer Research and Education) at the same Institution. In September 1980 he moved to San Diego where he presently holds the position of Professor of Medicine and Surgery in Residence, University of California, San Diego. Dr. Code who is a member of more than twenty professional societies is noted for his services to the American Gastroenterological Association. He was elected the Association's President in 1966 having been a member of its governing board from 1962. Dr. Code has published over 240 scientific papers and has served on the editorial board of nine professional publications.

Dr. Code is a graduate of the University of Manitoba, who has distinguished himself as one of the world's prominent medical scientists in the field of gastroenterology. He has made outstanding contributions not only through his research, but also through his numerous roles in various national and international bodies.

Madam Chancellor, I have presented to you a distinguished scholar. In the words of one of his colleagues, he is more than a professional researcher. He has been dedicated to a life of learning, explaining, demanding facts, teaching and often inspiring younger men to their full capacity. Madam Chancellor, it is an honor and privilege for me to ask, in the name of Senate, that you confer upon Dr. Charles Frederick Code the degree of Doctor of Science honoris causa.

May 29,1981 D. R. Campbell President

Madam Chancellor: I have the honour to present Dr. John King Gordon, Bachelor of Arts, Diploma in Theology, Master of Arts, Doctor of Laws.

Dr. Gordon was born in Winnipeg at the start of the twentieth century. His father was the well known Minister, Charles William Gordon, and his grandfather, Mark King, was the first principal of Manitoba College. With this background, it was only natural that Dr. Gordon would receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Manitoba. That was in 1920. Named a Rhodes Scholar, he then studied at Queen's College and completed a second Bachelor of Arts degree from Oxford in 1924. Interested in serving his fellow man, he returned to Canada in 1925, accepting a student missionary charge in Giscome, British Columbia, a small town north-east of Prince George. A year later he was called to be a Minister of the United Church in Pine Falls, Manitoba. While ministering to this pioneer community, he completed his Diploma in Theology from United College. He left Pine Falls in 1929 to pursue post graduate studies at Union Theological Seminary.

In 1931 he accepted his first academic post as Professor of Christian Ethics at United Theological College in Montreal. At the same time he completed the requirements for a Master of Arts degree from Oxford. Arising out of his concern for social justice and a reconstructed social order, as expressed by. S. Woodsworth, he became a travelling lecturer for the Fellowship for a Christian Social Order, in the midst of the Depression of the '30' s. At the same time he became a member of the National Executive of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (E.C.C.F.), the League for Social Reconstruction, and the Fellowship for a Christian Order. He also co-authored two books related to his concern. Starting in 1938 he pursued his writing interests, first as the non-fiction editor for Farrar and Rinehart, New York Publishers, and then as managing editor for The Nation magazine. This in turn led him to be the United Nations Representative for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1948. His contact with the United Nations led him to join that organization as a member of the Secretariat in 1950.

For four years he was involved with problems related to prisoners of war. Over the next seven years he served as Director of Information for U.N. agencies involved with Korea, the Middle East and the Congo. University life still had a strong attraction for Dr. Gordon so in 1962 he returned to academia with an appointment to the University of Alberta as Professor of Political Science and International Relations, a position he held for five years. It was during this time he wrote about his experiences and insights in two books, "The United Nations in the Congo", published by the Carnegie Endownment for International Peace in 1962, and "Canada's Role as a Middle Power", published in 1966. From Alberta he went to the University of Ottawa to be co-founder of the Institute for International Cooperation, and Professor of International Relations, a position he held until 1972. He continued his relationship with the University until 1975.

Most recently he has been Senior Advisor on Canadian University Relations at the International Development Research Centre in Ottawa. During the '70's Dr. Gordon has been increasingly concerned about two areas critical to our interdependent global community: international co-operation and development within the framework of the North-South dialogue covered by the Brandt Report and the preservation of peace and disarmament. This has brought him into active involvement with the International Ocean Institute, the International Peace Academy, the United Nations Association, and the Society for International Development. In his involvement with the United Nations Association in Canada he was on the national policy council and the national executive, serving as President of the Association from 1974 to 1976.

Madam Chancellor, you have before you a man who has a vision of what the future should hold for mankind; a man who has dedicated his life to the development of that future, the global community; a man who through his writing, teaching and association with his fellow citizens has shown what needs to be done to make it a reality.

Madam Chancellor, it is an honour and a privilege for me to ask, in the name of the Senate, that you confer upon John King Gordon the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa. May 29,1981 D. R. Campbell President

Madam Chancellor: I have the honour to present Joseph Arthur Euclid Herie, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Social Work, Master of Social Work, a distinguished and dedicated practitioner and a vibrant and successful model of accomplishment in the field of human welfare.

Euclid Herie was born in St.Jean-Baptiste, Manitoba, and began his early education in Winnipeg, Fisher Branch, Gravelbourg, and Brantford. The future course of his life was then strongly influenced by the faculty and by the milieu of St. Paul's College of the University of Manitoba where he completed his Bachelor of Arts degree before proceeding to study Social Work. He received his Masters degree in Social Work in 1965. He married Ellen Richer of Flin Flon and they have two children, Marilyn and Neil.

Mr. Herie began his career in social work with the Children's Aid Society of Winnipeg where he worked in service positions, as a supervisor of Protection and as Director of the Adoption and Unmarried Parent Department. He also served in 1966 and 1967 as Supervisor for Rehabilitation Services for the Manitoba Division of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. He later became Executive Director of the Manitoba Division of this organization until 1979 when he was appointed Executive Director of the Ontario Division, a position which he still holds. He also serves as Executive Assistant to the Managing Director of the C.N.I.B.

Euclid Herie has constantly sought to expand his knowledge and understanding and to improve his skills. To this end he has gained training and certification in I.B.M. Canada's Executive Information Systems program, the Executive Leadership Skills program of Seneca College, training in Management Theory and Practice and the Certificate in Rehabilitation of the Canadian Rehabilitation Council for the Disabled.

Mr. Herie's exceptional personal attributes have enabled him to apply these acquired skills in the development of comprehensive service programs designed for some 14,000 registered blind persons and in the administration of 1,300 employees, four unions, 18 district offices and 44 advisory boards. He has been active in national and local fund raising including 10 years of volunteer service with the United Way of Winnipeg. Mr. Herie has been a valued member of a large number of professional boards, committees and commissions devoted to the improvement of human welfare services for all Canadians and he has made a special contribution in devising recreation programs for disabled persons.

Euclid Herie has been recognized for his abilities and achievements by many professional bodies, service organizations, and by agencies of the Federal Government. He has made numerous presentations to national and international conferences on a wide variety of topics. Mr. Herie has made every year of his career his own personal International Year of Disabled Persons.

Madam Chancellor, I present to you a distinguished graduate of the University of Manitoba; one whose life and work exemplify the highest ideals of service to his fellow man and the fullest development of the capacities of the human mind. He could rightly say of himself, as Helen Keller did, "I have made my limitations my tools of learning and true joy".

Madam Chancellor, it is an honour and a privilege for me to ask in the name of Senate, that you confer upon Joseph Arthur Euclid Herie, the degree of Doctor of Laws honoris causa. October 22, 1981 A. Naimark President

Madam Chancellor: I have the honour to present Professor Emeritus Eugene Hausknecht Lange, Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, Fellow of the Agricultural Institute of Canada, Honorary Associate of the Nova Scotia Agricultural College -a distinguished teacher and administrator.

Professor Lange was born in Southern Russia, and obtained his early education there, including two years of college; he emigrated to Canada in 1926. For a few years he managed a mixed farm in Southern Manitoba; he also studied at Tabor College in Hillsboro, Kansas, prior to enrolling in the Faculty of Agriculture, the University of Manitoba; he graduated with great distinction in 1933, and was winner of the coveted University Gold Medal.

After graduation, Professor Lange held positions with both the provincial and federal governments in his chosen field of Animal Science. Two years later he accepted a research scholarship at Macdonald College of McGill University, from where he received his Master of Science degree in Animal Nutrition in 1939. Following another three years of employment with Agriculture Canada, seven years as an Agricultural Representative at Teulon and Morden, and two years as Principal of the Agricultural and Homemaking School at Brandon, Professor Lange was appointed Associate Professor and Director of the School of Agriculture, University of Manitoba, in 1952.

It was while in this capacity over the next twenty years, that Professor Lange made his most outstanding contributions to agricultural education, for which he is so highly acclaimed in Manitoba and abroad. Under his wise and imaginative leadership the diploma course in agriculture at the University of Manitoba developed into one of the strongest and most highly respected programs of its kind in Canada, if not in North America. The integrating centre of the diploma program became farm business planning and management. Leading farmers and members of the agricultural industry and of the financial community were invited to assist in course development and teaching, especially in innovative courses relating to Marketing Principles and Policies, and Farm Business Planning.

This cooperative approach to agricultural training, in which the agri-business community is an active partner, has greatly enhanced the effectiveness and value of the Diploma Course. Throughout his tenure in the Faculty, Professor Lange never forgot the rural community or the farm family to which he had become deeply attached and committed during his years in Extension. He chaired most Faculty Committees responsible for the organization of Conferences, Short Courses, and Field Days for the farming and agri-business sectors, and for the publication of extension periodicals, such as FARM FACTS and SPOTLIGHT.

As his professional competence in the area of technical and vocational training in agriculture became recognized, he was engaged to undertake related studies and prepare reports for the governments of Manitoba and Alberta, and for the Agricultural Institute of Canada. In 1965 he was granted a one-year leave of absence from the University to assist the Nova Scotia Agricultural College to develop a vocational and technical program for agriculture in the Atlantic Region. In recognition for this service, Professor Lange was named an Honorary Associate of the Nova Scotia Agricultural College at the time of the College's Convocation exercises in 1979.

In 1971, Professor Lange was appointed by the Canadian International Development Agency as a member of a five-man Canadian Team to study and report on the need for Technical Teacher Training in Kenya. During the same year, in recognition for outstanding professional service, he was elected a "Fellow" of the Agricultural Institute of Canada. Professor Lange retired as Director of the School of Agriculture in 1972. From 1972-78 he was retained by the Faculty as a research coordinator. He also found time to serve the University as Associate Director of the Natural Resources Institute for a brief period. In 1977 the University appointed him Professor Emeritus. His many and diverse community interests have included involvement in such groups as the Canadian Vocational Association, Rural Leadership Training Committee, Red River Exhibition, Manitoba Farm Vacations Association, and the Canadian Country Vacations Association, which he organized.

He is an Elder of the Riverview United Church, and finds particular enjoyment in music, art and theatre. Madam Chancellor, so far I have mentioned a number of the academic and professional accomplishments of Professor Lange, the agriculturist and teacher. While these achievements are impressive, and fully worthy of the honour of this occasion, they fail to do justice to Gene Lange, the person; to Gene Lange the friend of students and their parents, most of whom he still knows by name; to Gene Lange the humanitarian, whose whole reason for being, as one of his friends said recently, was to help the little guy at the end of the country road. His whole life has been one of extension; of extending information and assistance to those in need. Gene Lange is best known and most kindly thought of by his exceedingly wide circle of friends, because of his values and his philosophy -both rooted deeply in the welfare of his fellow man. In all this he has been supported by his charming wife, Lillian.

Madam Chancellor, it is an honour and a privilege for me to ask, in the name of Senate, that you confer on Eugene Hausknecht Lange, the degree of Doctor of Laws, Honoris Causa. June 4,1981 D. R. Campbell President

Madam Chancellor: I have the honour to present Dr. Leonard Hilary Shebeski, Officer of the Order of Canada, Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, Master of Science, Doctor of Science, Doctor of Laws, Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Fellow of the Agricultural Institute of Canada -a distinguished teacher, scientist and administrator.

Dr. Shebeski was born at Aubigny, Manitoba, and grew up at Arborg where his father operated a Dominion Government Illustration Farm. He enrolled at The University of Manitoba in the late thirties and graduated in 1941 with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degree and the Lieutenant-Governor's Gold Medal. Subsequently he served four years in the Royal Canadian Air Force as an observer and pilot and was mentioned in dispatches. He received the Master of Science degree from The University of Manitoba in 1946, and then began Doctoral studies in genetics and plant breeding at the University of Minnesota. In 1947, he was engaged as Assistant Professor in the Field Husbandry Department, University of Saskatchewan. Six years later, he was appointed Professor and Head of the Department of Plant Science, The University of Manitoba. He was named Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture in 1965, a position which he filled with great distinction until his retirement in 1979.

Dr. Shebeski's accomplishments as a university teacher, scientist, administrator, and citizen are worthy of note. He is an energetic and ambitious man. He has always addressed issues with enthusiasm and dealt with them at a pace which, to the onlooker, appears to border on the frenetic. He was an excellent teacher of both undergraduate and graduate courses. His lectures stimulated as well as informed, and he sought to foster a questioning attitude. He was always eager to debate and equally willing to listen. Lectures began in the traditional classroom setting but did not end there; after the prescribed period they spilled into hallways and offices where other students and staff members were drawn into the discussions as they passed by. Dr. Shebeski recognized the need for applied research to provide advanced technology and materials for the agricultural industry.

Research programs were also used to train graduate students and, under his guidance, they made important contributions to contemporary knowledge of plant breeding principles. His achievements in the improvement of barley and wheat, and in weed control investigation, are a matter of record. He has also explored unconventional avenues of research from which benefits may not be immediate or obvious.

Early in his career he was a leader in the study of mutagens as a means of crop improvement. More recently, he initiated research on the production of hybrid wheat, a technology not yet perfected. His conviction that basic research could be used to produce useful synthesized species has been justified by current interest in the wheat-rye derivative, Triticale. The vicissitudes of maintaining funding and sustaining confidence in the ultimate solution of problems which had to be overcome to make this development a reality would have defeated many lesser individuals. Dr. Shebeski has earned a local and international reputation as a skilled and imaginative administrator.

He is a keen competitor, a fact appreciated by those who have opposed him in any of the several sports in which he likes to participate. No doubt this characteristic has influenced his administration -less in terms of promoting personal causes and more in inciting action to get things done. At the local level, he has initiated many areas of research, and has been involved in the planning of wide-ranging projects. His ideas have often been controversial, and it has been said that he enjoys a good argument.

Those who know him well recognize this as a tactic to stimulate fresh approaches and to examine the validity of concepts. That his opinions were highly valued is attested to by the numerous agencies which sought his participation on committees, boards and councils. His involvement and influence in this sphere of activity was exceptional. He was a member of the National Research Council for a five-year term and subsequently served on several committees of the Council, some of which he chaired. He was Chairman of the Manitoba Research Council, served on the Science Council of Canada, the Canadian Agricultural Research Council, and on a number of professional bodies of provincial, national and international scope. In the broader concept, he served on the Board of Trustees of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Nigeria, was involved in committees of FAO and the Commonwealth Secretariat, and was Visiting Scientist at the Soviet Union Academy of Sciences. Dr. Shebeski has frequently and forcefully expressed his views on the inbalance of food resources in various parts of the world, and the global problems that may soon be faced regarding adequate resources of food and fibre to meet human needs. This is but one expression of the basically humanitarian philosophy which has characterized his career. The practical expression of this philosophy was his involvement in directing two programs of the Canadian International Development Agency. One of these concerned the establishment of the Agricultural Faculty of Khon Kaen University in Thailand; the other was a wheat improvement project at the National Plant Breeding Station in Kenya. Both of these are considered highly successful projects in aiding developing nations in their progress toward self-sufficiency in food.

In addition to his exceedingly busy professional career, Dr. Shebeski has found time for a role as a citizen in his community. With his usual verve, he participated formally on committees for groups concerned with health, athletics, resources, education, and agricultural matters at all levels; notable in this area has been his active participation on boards of the United Way and the Red Cross Society. In addition, he has been a popular speaker to local groups.

Throughout his career, Dr. Shebeski has been supported by a wide circle of friends and by his wife, Laura, the gracious chatelaine of their home at Sanford. They have raised four daughters, and are exceedingly proud grandparents.

Madam Chancellor, it is an honour and a privilege for me to ask, in the name of the Senate, that you confer on Leonard Hilary Shebeski, the degree of Doctor of Science, Honoris Causa. May 28,1981 D. R. Campbell President
