We are well aware of how dust influences our observations of
distant stars and how easily dust may mislead us with regard to the
way in which stars are distributed within the Galaxy, but how does
dust affect our view of other galaxies? This is the question that
was posed to those who attended this meeting. By its very nature
dust is illusive: as dust obscures by both scattering and
absorption, it can effectively disguise its very own existence. It
was not until the mid-1930's that astronomers generally agreed that
dust did redden and dim stars in our own Galaxy, and it was not
until the late 1950's that astronomers began to seriously inquire
of its effects in other galaxies To the best of our knowledge, this
is the first international meeting to have been held devoted solely
towards understanding the observational effects of dust in other
galaxies. Because of this we have been fortunate in attracting many
of the major workers in this field, both observers and theorists.
Among these pages the reader will find a wide range of opinion
about how much dust there is in the disks of galaxies, where that
dust is, and how to model the effects of dust. We tried to
structure this meeting so that there was a ready and easy exchange
between the speaker and the audience, and so that there was a large
amount of time for discussion.
