It is fitting that, in opening this Symposium with a consideration of the T Tauri stars, we note that this month marks the tenth anniversary of the September 1945 issue of the Astrophysical Journal, in which appeared the remarkable pioneering paper by Alfred H. Joy that initiated the study of emission-line stars associated with nebulosity. This contribution opened a new approach to the study of the relationship of stars to their environment. Today, ten years later, the T Tauri stars and their interaction with nebular material form a topic whose significance we may not fully appreciate and whose opportunities have been as yet only superficially exploited.
