The idea of holding this workshop on "The Jllilky Way" arose at the
conference dinner of a meeting on "Regions of Recent Star
Formation" held at Penticton in June 1981. Leo Blitz (now at the
University of Maryland) and I decided that there was a need, and
agreed that we would organize one in Vancouver in the Spring of
1982. The purpose of the workshop was to have an intensive exchange
of ideas between some of the most active workers in the field
regarding the recent work which has been significantly changing our
concepts of the Milky Way. To achieve this we limited the number of
participants, and planned the program so that there was ample time
for discussion. The meeting appeared to work very well, both
scientifically and socially, and this volume contains 50 of the 55
papers that were The discussion was very lengthy, but since the
papers were presented. written up after the meeting many of the
points raised have been in the publications, and it seems pointless
to reproduce it incorporated here. Leo and I would like to thank
the many people who helped to make the meeting a success: at UBC)
and Frank J. Kerr (Provost of MPSE C.V. Finnegan (Dean of Science
at the University of Maryland) who welcomed the participants on
behalf of the sponsoring Universities. Bart Bok who opened the
scientific proceedings, and Maarten Schmidt who gave the closing
summary.
