The new Bulletin has started off most successfully and congratulations to Peter Scherk, Jim Lambek, John Peck and all the others who have worked together to launch it so successfully. The reports on the Seminar at Edmonton and the Congress at Banff, which appeared in the first number of the Bulletin, happily make it unnecessary for me to do more than to say that these seemed to be as successful meetings as any we have held. The settings both at Edmonton and Banff were ideal, but without our hosts1 careful planning and continued attention to detail, these would have been of no avail.
