The initial impetus for this volume was the occasion of the World
Congress for Mental Health held in Vancouver, British Columbia in
1977. The theme of that congress was priorities in mental health.
The keynote speaker Mrs. Rosalynn Carter, wife of the then
President of the United States, focused attention on the necessity
for an international perspective in understanding priorities for
mental health. Without exception subsequent speakers echoed the
sentiments Mrs. Carter expressed, that the first priority for
mental health was that of children. For many participants the
concern for children was translated not only into techniques for
treatment but more importantly into broadening the approaches to
prevention. One theme emerged which has begun to be addressed
around the world - that of the cultural and developmental
implications of sex role stereotyping for mental health. This topic
proved to be the touchstone for many issues related both directly
and indirectly to mental health. Among the most prominent concerns
expressed were those for the effects on careers, the learning
environment and relations between the sexes which stem from
stereotyped attitudes concerning appropriate sex role behavior. The
consensus of the par tiCipants was to urge the directorate of the
congress to continue this topic at the next World Congress. This
was a particularly appropriate content for the next World Congress,
since 1979 was the International Year of the Child."

This volume is the Proceedings of the symposium held at the
University of Wyoming in August, 1985, to honor Gail Young on his
seventieth birthday (which actually took place on October 3, 1985)
and on the occasion of his retirement. Nothing can seem more
natural to a mathematician in this country than to honor Gail
Young. Gail embodies all the qualities that a mathematician should
possess. He is an active and effective research mathematician,
having written over sixty pa pers in topology, n-dimensional
analysis, complex variables, and "miscellanea." He is an
outstanding expositor, as his fine book Topology, written with J.
G. Hocking (Addison Wesley, 1961), amply demonstrates. He has a
superlative record in public office of outstanding, unstinting
service to the mathematical community and to the cause of
education. But what makes Gail unique and special is that
throughout all aspects of his distinguished career, he has
emphasized human values in everything he has done. In touching the
lives of so many of us, he has advanced the entire profession.
Deservedly, he has innumerable friends in the mathematical
community, the academic community, and beyond."
