Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, I have had great pleasure in accepting the invitation to deliver this tenth Jeffery-Williams lecture. As one of that generation who were strongly influenced by Ralph Jeffery and Lloyd Williams, I also appreciate the challenge of maintaining the high standard that these lectures named in their honour have established. May I also say that the lecture earlier this morning by Professor Dieudonnè was certainly fortunate for us.
