The SOI:,ely at present consists 01approximately 600 scholars. It 15 unique onlhal It includes representatives of manyd'$C,pllnes: poets ilnd publishers, educatorsand engone.e,s, physic,ans and phYS'CISIS,priests and politiCians. Th,s has been sofrom lIS very ,n~ptlon whim Its chanermembers ,nclUded such mtellectual giants asSir William Dawson 11'111 McGill geologlsl.

lows Frllcheue the celebrated poet, SirSandford Flemll1g the railway engineer andorigInator of Standard TIme, and SIr WdliamOsler the famous phYSICIan. Well knownmembers at thepresem tIme include PierreEilloll Trudeau. a former law professor; Dr.WIlder PenfIeld. world·famous neuro'surgeon; Gerhard HerZberg. thIS year'sNobel prize-winning physiCist; and SenatorEugene Forsey. the controversial, constitu·tlonal ellpert from Grand Bank, Newfound·land.

The Society IS diVIded !OtO threemajor groups: both English and FrenchHumanlt'es and Social Science sectIons, anda Science sectIon. Each year SIX new Fellowsare elected to each of the Humamtlessections lind 16 are elected to the Science

membersh,p, they are then conSIdered andvoted upon by elected representatives ofspeCIalized subject diVISIons before beIngreferred to special committees of the threemajorsect,ons

Election to FellowshIp IS one of themajor ways !O which the Society seeks torecognize and encourage contributIons toscholarshIp. Like many Other ellcluslvegroups it has been crit!clzed not for those itaccepts but for those It doesn't - and It istrue thllt some subject divisions are domi·nated by univerSIty professors with a goodlysprinkling of Government professionalsoomplet!Og the enrollment to the almostcomplete exclUSIon of scholaf$ from in·dustry and commerce and of free·lanceartIsts and consulting scientists. Efforts arecontinually made to re<:\Ify such Sltulltlons- thus the Science SectIon has established
