I am sure that Bertram Brockhouse would join me, if he were present with us, in saying how immensely grateful we are to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for affording us the high honor of being named Nobel Laureates in recent days. Being selected as such is a dream for any scientist who hopes that his work will prove useful to others. It is especially gratifying to me to have met at this symposium with so many of you who have contributed greatly to bringing this field of neutron scattering to its present state of usefulness and prominence.
