When I prepared the discussion in the subsequent sections I did not realize just how subject to question were certain basic ideas relating to the interpretation of the Be phenomenon. In view of the points already raised in the course of this Colloquium, I should like to preface my prepared remarks with certain additional ones.

There appears to be little question that the Be phenomenon has important things to tell us of stellar rotation. It appears almost equally clear that too superficial an approach could well lead to invalid conclusions at any one of a number of points. Some caution therefore, appears advisable. Nevertheless, there appear to be a number of reasons for believing that a relatively simple rotational interpretation of the phenomenon rests on much more solid ground than does any other yet put forward.
