Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
In order to introduce this Symposium on the Magellanic Clouds I feel the most valuable thing I can do is to discuss our understanding of galaxies in general, then show how the Magellanic Clouds in particular fit into the sequence of galactic forms, and finally note a few of the critical problems of galaxies which we might solve by studying the Magellanic Clouds. There are six main points which I wish to mention.
