This review of stellar magnetic field measurements is both a critique of recent spectral diagnostic techniques and a summary of important trends now appearing in the data. I will discuss both the Zeeman broadening techniques that have evolved from Robinson's original approach and techniques based on circular and linear polarization data. I conclude with an ambitious agenda for developing self-consistent models of the magnetic atmospheres of active stars.
