Abstract
<section class="abstract"> I wish to thank the members of the John Hammond Memorial Committee for their kind invitation to deliver this lecture, which expresses very personal feelings. When, in 1949, as a recently graduated Ph.D. from the University of Paris, I was seeking my future orientation in research, I had the good luck to be in Ghent when John Hammond presented a prospective survey of the improvement of fertility in domestic animals by hormonal treatment. Some months later, I visited Hammond's laboratory in Cambridge and studied his books and papers on reproduction in the cow and rabbit. Today, looking back over the past 26 years, I have the feeling that my work as a scientist, and as a Professor, found much of its inspiration in Hammond's thought and teaching. </section>
