This symposium is held under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union at the department of electronics of a technical university. This combination of astronomy and technical electronics has already become so familiar, that it hardly strikes us as peculiar. This shows how strongly the case for electric and magnetic phenomena in a wide variety of astrophysical problems has been proven. However, all of this is comparatively recent history. One glance at an older epoch may illustrate this point and, perhaps, may help us to take fewer things for granted during our discussions.
