Master of Arts (Education) and Master of Education Donated by the Nova Scotia Teachers Union Faculty The Reverend William A. Stewart, S.J., Medal for Excellence in Teaching (To be presented at the afternoon ceremony) In 1983, the Alumni Association, with the co-operation of the Faculty Union and the Students' Representative Council, established the Reverend William A. Stewart, S.J., Medal for Excellence in Teaching. This award is open to faculty members who have made an extraordinary contribution to the education of Saint Mary's students through teaching in the University's tradition of quality undergraduate education. Nominations are invited from alumni, students, and faculty members. This medal is presented at Convocation together with a cheque for $ 1,000. Previous winners of this prestigious award are: 1983 Professor David Hope (Accounting) 1984 Professor Dermot Mulrooney (Engineering) 1985 Dr. David Perrier (Sociology) 1986 Dr. John Young (Chemistry) 1987 Professor E. McBride (Political Science) 1988 Dr. Jack Ginsburg (Chemistry) 1989 Dr. Peter March (Philosophy) 1990 Dr. Andrew Seaman (English) 1991 Dr. Philip Street (Psychology) 1992 Dr. Francis Phillips (Education) 1993 Dr. Janet Baker (English) 1994 Dr. Cyril Byrne (English) 1995 Professor Nicola Young (Accounting) This year's winner is Ronald G. Landes. A graduate of the University of Oregon in 1967 with a Bachelor of Science degree (magna cum laude), Dr. Landes also holds a Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from York University, Toronto. He began his teaching career at Saint Mary's in 1972 and is currently Professor and Chairperson of the Department of Political Science. The following paragraphs represent excerpts from letters of recommendation received in support of his nomination for this prestigious teaching medal. Dr. Landes has presented organized, articulate, insightful lectures and has demonstrated a remarkable knowledge of many diverse topics included in the discipline of Political Science. His lectures are always thought-provoking and are enhanced by relating them to current political issues. He welcomes comments and questions in his classes and is quick to cite specific references from memory to elaborate a point. He also strongly encourages student inquiry and is readily available to discuss questions and concerns outside of class time. Another student writes that he is an excellent lecturer, a demanding but fair teacher and a person who always listened to and attempted to meet each student's need. This same student indicated that she is currently a PhD. student in the Department of Political Science at Dalhousie University and through his patience, understanding and belief in her, she has found a vocation which she thoroughly enjoys. Another student has indicated that she would not be exaggerating by saying that "I enjoyed every hour of each of his courses". He appears to have "the unique ability of lighting a learning spark in the minds of his young students and encouraging a continuing quest for knowledge in his older ones". One of the 1984 recipients of the William Dalton Memorial Scholarship in Political Science felt that Dr. Landes had made an extremely important contribution to Saint Mary's by being prepared to promote the interests and recognize the achievements of students who were studying on a part-time basis. She felt in this regard that Dr. Landes was ahead of his time in recognizing and rewarding this important segment of Saint Mary's student population. Yet other student indicated that he is "the finest professor I have ever had and consider him to be my academic mentor. He has helped to shape my outlook on the world and I owe him a huge intellectual debt of gratitude". It is, however, not only Dr. Landes' students, both current and former, who recognize his teaching ability as well as his contribution to the University in a number of different fields, but also his colleagues. One of them wrote that for the past twenty-four years, Dr. Landes has demonstrated a continual and sustained extraordinary commitment to our students and to quality undergraduate teaching that illustrates the highest ideals of the Saint Mary's University community. Not only has he served four terms as Chairperson of the Department, but has continued to receive consistently high truly exceptional student evaluations, notwithstanding the fact that he has carried an extremely heavy teaching load throughout his career. For over twenty years, for example, he has taught summer school and for the same length of time, an extra course during the regular academic year. In addition, for the 1995-96 academic year, for example, he taught two extra full length courses in addition to his normal teaching load and his Chairpersonship of the Department. His firm belief in the rights and role of students studying on a part-time basis has not gone unsupported in that he consistently has been teaching Saint Mary's courses one evening a week at the I.W.

  • The Results in This Paper with Respect to Fish Production Demonstrate That
    r 27 The results in this paper with respect to fish production demonstrate that even in small ponds which may be subjected to considerable control much experimentation is apparently needed before criteria can be established for increased fish yields through fertilization. The reviewer feels, however, that with the number of ponds at the author's disposal (21 were used) better de"sign of experimentation could have been set up so that much of the variation that occurred could have been accounted for and the effects of the fertilizer more clearly demonstrated.

  • Prevalence of the Sockeye Salmon Brain Parasite Myxobolus Arcticus in Selected Alaska Streams
    Prevalence of the Sockeye Salmon Brain Parasite Myxobolus arcticus in Selected Alaska Streams Adam Moles and Kathleen Jensen Reprinted from the Alaska Fishery Research Bulletin Vol. 6 No. 2, Winter 1999 The Alaska Fishery Research Bulletin can found on the World Wide Web at URL: http://www.state.ak.us/adfg/geninfo/pubs/afrb/afrbhome.htm . Alaska Fishery Research Bulletin 6(2):85– 93. 2000. Copyright © 2000 by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Prevalence of the Sockeye Salmon Brain Parasite Myxobolus arcticus in Selected Alaska Streams Adam Moles and Kathleen Jensen ABSTRACT: Over 10,000 spawning sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka throughout Alaska were examined for the presence of the brain parasite Myxobolus arcticus to evaluate its potential as a natural marker to separate mixed stock fisheries in Alaska. Prevalence of the parasite (proportion of fish infected by the parasite) differed widely among sampling locations. The brain parasite, previously reported as common in southeastern Alaska, infected sockeye salmon primarily in coastal lake systems of eastern Prince William Sound and the Copper River area. Brain parasites were present in >85% of the fish returning to lakes east of Cook Inlet, whereas <20% of fish returning to glacial and riverine habitats in the same region were infected. Sockeye salmon systems west of Prince William Sound, such as Bristol Bay and Cook Inlet, were largely devoid of the parasite. Prevalence of the parasite in south- eastern Alaska systems appeared stable over the last decade in lake systems but was more variable in riverine habitat. In the Taku River parasite prevalence varied widely between sites but was similar among years for most locations within the river.

The published data on the fecundity of lampreys are very scanty. There are only the odd observations on Petromyzon marinus by Surface (1899) and Gage (1928), and on Ichthyomyzon fossor by Leach (1940). The purpose of the present paper is to fill the gaps in our knowledge of this subject.
