Adriaan Blaauw; Emeritus Professor of Astronomy at the Universities
of Groningen and Leiden, former Directo.r of the Kapteyn Laboratory
and of the European Southern Observatory, celebrated his 70th
anniversary on 12 April 1984. To mark this event, an international
Symposium was con- vened on the subject "Birth and Evolution of
Massive Stars and Stellar Groups", a subject which has played the
leading role in Blaauw's scien- tific research. The present volume
contains the Scientific Proceedings of that Symposium. The meeting
was organized by a Committee consisting of: W.H.W.M. Boland
(Secretary), W.N. Brouw, W.B. Burton, E.P.J. van den Heuvel, H. van
der Laan and H. van Woerden (Chairman). Together, these six persons
represented the Executive Committees of the Netherlands Foundation
for Astronomical Research (ASTRON) and the Netherlands Foundation
for Radio Astronomy (RZM), two organizations in which Blaauw has
held key offices. The scientific program was planned in full
consultation with Adri- aan Blaauw himself. Only section 5, "A
profile of Adriaan Blaauw", was kept secret to him. The other four
sections: Structure of star-forming regions, Stellar content of
young groups, Evolution of massive stars, and Extragalactic
perspective on star formation, each represent an im- portant aspect
of the overall theme of the Symposium. The program in- cluded 6
major review papers, 18 invited papers, 17 contributed papers, some
of which were given as posters, and ample time for discussion.
