This is the first IAU symposium devoted specifically to elliptical galaxies. I would like to congratulate the organizers for initiating a symposium on such a well-defined topic with so many interesting puzzles. I have been impressed at this meeting by the great strides made in this subject over the last ten years, both in the quality and quantity of data and in the sophistication of the theoretical models. In addition, I'm sure that I express the sentiments of the great majority of the participants when I say what a pleasure it was to attend a meeting on galaxies in which there was not a single paper on spiral structure!

Rather than attempting to give a general summary, I have chosen to concentrate on four specific topics which reflect some of my personal impressions of the meeting.
