Boyes, J. W., 1907-1980 : John Wallace (Wally) Boyes was born in Sunridge, Ontario. He taught in elementary and high schools in Saskatchewan 1926-1930. Boyes started research on insect control and was a part-time pest investigator while he completed his Bachelor of Science degree (1933) and Masters degree on wheat cytogenetics (1936) at the University of Saskatchewan. Boyes did his doctorate at the University of Wisconsin with a thesis on plant embryology (1939). Boyes spent World War II working for the National Research Council in Ottawa and in various industrial operations. He began his association with McGill University as Acting Chairman of the Department of Genetics (1945-1947) and then was its Chairman from 1947 until 1969. He also held the Molson Chair of Genetics at McGill, 1955-1972. As a result of a protracted dispute with McGill over a post-retirement research position, Boyes retired in 1972.

He was active in professional organizations, notably as President of the Organizing Committee of the Tenth International Congress of Genetics at McGill in 1958. Boyes was Professor and Dean of Science of the University of Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland through CIDA, 1973-1977. He developed numerous contacts with fellow scientists in Eastern Europe and other countries and was a committed internationalist. When he retired for good in 1978, Boyes settled in London, Ontario to continue his research. He died on January 17.

Boyes' research included the use of colchicine to double chromosomes in plants, directing field tests and research projects on breeding and improving cereal crops, and studied the genetic development in wheat, corn, buckwheat and red clover. Boyes also supervised numerous graduate students at McGill. Starting in the early 1950s, Boyes' major research project was the comparison of the evolution of the chromosomes of the Diptera and higher flies to their classification.
