Bio/Historical Note: Dr. John Ansel Anderson was born in [1903] in England, and came to Canada at the age of nineteen. After receiving his Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture and his Master’s degree in plant biochemistry from the University of Alberta, he returned to England and received the PhD degree in organic chemistry from the University of Leeds. He then spent nine year with the National Research Council in Ottawa as a biochemist. He was appointed Chief Chemist of the Board of Grain Commissioners at Winnipeg in 1939 and Director of the Agricultural Research Station in 1962. In 1963 he was appointed to the important and responsible post he now holds. Dr. Anderson retired from public service in 1968 but then pursued an academic position of research professor position at the University in the Department of Plant Science. Dr. Anderson published over 100 scientific papers on basic cereal chemistry. In 1957 the American Society of Cereal Chemists awarded him its highest honor, the Osborne Medal, to recognize his distinguished contributions in that field. This medal had been awarded only nine times in the 31 years of its existence. This field and its applications are of supreme importance to the agricultural economy of Western Canada. Dr. Anderson’s contributions related to malting barley, durum and bread wheats led to an increased understanding of those factors necessary for high quality products.
