Abstract

Many have spoken and written concerning the motivations which inspire a scientist in his work. For some there is an inherent curiosity about the workings of nature, and for others, the inspiration comes from the desire to make significant and lasting contributions to human knowledge. It would nevertheless be idle to deny that for a scientist the recognition of his work by his peers is an event which engenders the deepest personal satisfaction. I should therefore like to express to all those who have been responsible for this award and the decision to bestow it upon me, my sincere thanks. Much, much more importantly by honoring me you also honor my many colleagues who, over the years, have participated in this endeavor. It gives me enormous pleasure to record my gratitude to them.
