Detailed dynamical model calculations based on a conventional collapse picture of galaxy formation, and conventional assumptions concerning star formation and stellar evolution, are found to be able to reproduce satisfactorily the basic structural and photometric properties of elliptical galaxies. The quasar phenomenon may be identifiable with the formation of the nucleus of a giant elliptical galaxy.
