[[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.
