This is the first time that the International Astronomical Union
has held a symposium on objects of totally unknown nature. In fact.
M. Rees has pointed out that the mass of the individual particles
that make up the dark matter is unknown to > 70 orders of
magnitude. Since dark matter appears to make up ~ 90 % of the mass
of the Universe. it presents us with one of the most fundamental
problems in astrophysics. IAU Symposium 117 on Dark Matter in the
Universe was held on June 24 - 28. 1985. Our hosts were Princeton
University and the Institute for Advanced Study. which together
form one of the most active centers of work on the dark matter
problem. There were ~ 190 participants from 16 countries. These
proceedings include the 31 review and invited papers. 72 of the 85
poster papers. and the two general discussions. The idea that the
Universe might contain much more mass than we see in gas. stars and
their remnants has been with us for over 50 years. In 1933. F.
Zwicky pointed out that the Coma Cluster could be in equilibrium at
the large observed velocity dispersion only if a great deal of
unseen matter were present. However. in the absence of other
evidence. the idea of "dark matter" was not widely pursued.
