In 1964 a conference was held at Flagstaff, Arizona, in honour of Ejnar Hertzsprung. At this conference Martin Schwarzschild presented the inaugural address. The title was ‘New Impetus to Astrometry’. I was so much impressed by everything what he, as an astrophysicist, had to say that I have always remembered his analysis of important astrometric problems with admiration. Nine years after the Flagstaff Conference, I find it appropriate to open this Symposium in referring to Schwarzschild's lecture and in presenting my views on recent developments and on progress which I expect in the future.
