As we move into the next century of stellar astronomy, it is helpful to consider the modes by which stellar astronomy has advanced in the modern era. At this conference, our attention has been focussed on precision measurement of stellar fundamental properties such as mass, luminosity, and radius. This mode of inquiry is one of several that have borne fruit. In this review, I will discuss some of the topics that have arisen here with respect to how our understanding of stellar interiors progresses through interaction between theory and observation.
