-30- [[underline]]Dr. T. Dale Stewart[[/underline]], for his great contribution to the physical anthropology of native American skeletal populations, especially the study of age and sex differences and other forensic factors in human osteology. [[underline]]Matthew Fontaine Maury Medal[[/underline]] [[underline]]Dr. Robert M. White[[/underline]], in recognition of his distinguished service as the first Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In this position Dr. White has fostered research on a national level in the ocean sciences and has played an instrumental role in negotiations for the protection of marine mammals. [[underline]]Hodgkins Medal[[/underline]] [[underline]]Dr. E. Cuyler Hammond[[/underline]], a towering figure in the evolution of the study of the linkage between deleterious factors in our environment and the significant upsurge of cancer in man. As a human biologist, he has managed to associate in all its complexity the relations between internal biology of man and human cancer. He has done this in an elegant manner as a theoretical mathematical biologist by interpreting human population groups in an ecological sense. He has participated in the realization of the importance of the interaction of factors in human cancer, a basic discovery indeed, not only in the etiology of cancer itself, but also in the possibilities of control. Thus, for example, his study of persons working in the presence of asbestos fibers has enabled him to conclude that such work does not in itself greatly increase susceptibility to lung cancer but does so in the case of heavy smokers.
