Bereik en inhoud

John G. Diefenbaker, University Chancellor, making presentation of an honourary Doctor of Laws degree to A.G.W. Cameron at the 66th annual spring Convocation held in Centennial Auditorium.

Bio/Historical Note: Alastair Graham Walter Cameron (1925-2005) was an American-Canadian astrophysicist and space scientist who was an eminent staff member of the Astronomy department of Harvard University. He was one of the founders of the field of nuclear astrophysics, advanced the theory that the moon was created by the giant impact of a Mars-sized object with the early Earth, and was an early adopter of computer technology in astrophysics. In 1952 Cameron earned the first PhD awarded in physics from the university. Cameron earned a BSc degree from the University of Manitoba in Physics and Mathematics. During the summers he worked at the Chalk River Laboratory, a Canadian research facility on Ontario. Cameron went on to do graduate work in both theoretical and experimental nuclear physics at the University of Saskatchewan. Under the supervision of Dr. Leon Katz, he studied photonuclear cross sections using the university's new betatron accelerator. He was also given an honourary degree from the U of S in 1977. Cameron died in 2005 in Tucson, Arizona.
