The International Astronomical Union has encouraged the study of
our galaxy through a series of symposia. This volume contains the
proceedings of IAU Symposium No. 84 on the Large-Scale
Characteristics of the Galaxy, held in College Park, Maryland, from
June 12 to 17, 1978. Symposium No. 84 was jointly sponsored by IAU
2ommission 33, Structure and Dynamics of the Galactic System, and
by Commission 34, Interstellar Matter and Planetary Nebulae. The
Scientific Organizing Committee consisted of F. J. Kerr (chairman),
B. J. Bok, W. B. Burton, J. Einasto, K. C. Freeman, P. O. Lindblad,
D. Lynden-Bell, R. Sancisi, S. E. Strom, H. van Woerden, and R.
Wielen. The topics and speakers were chosen in order to emphasize
current observational material and theoretical results pertaining
to various morphological aspects of our galaxy. In preparing the
program particular care was taken to relate recent work on other
galaxies to the situation in our own galaxy. The meetings were held
in the Center for Adult Education on the campus of the University
of Maryland. The Local Organizing Committee consisted of B. M ..
Zuckerman (chairman), A. P. Henderson, P. D. Jackson, T. A.
Matthews, B. F. Perry, V. C. Rubin, P. R. Schwartz, F. W. Stecker,
J. D. Trasco, and G. Westerhout. Joan Ball ably assisted this
committee. The National Science Foundation made a financial con
tribution to the general support of the meeting. The National Radio
Astronomy Observatory assisted with some of the participants'
travel expenses."
