The evidence in favor of the hypothesis that Be stars owe their emission properties to material rotationally ejected from the equator is reviewed. The evolutionary state of Be Stars is then discussed with reference to evolutionary sequences of stellar models. It is concluded that (i) Be stars are not confined to the secondary contraction phase as previously proposed (ii) evolution probably proceeds with uniform rotation at least outside the initial convective core. Mechanisms for transporting angular momentum are briefly discussed.
