The year 1975 was a year of jubilees. May 1975 saw the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the foundation of the Hungárián Academy of Sciencesj the occasion was mark.- ed by reviewing the progress of sciences in Hungary over the past 150 years with special regard to the 30 years after the liberation. In the history of these thirty years - it can be stated without pretensions - the Central Research Institute for Physics alsó played an important role since this 30-year period includes the 25 years over which the institute at Csilleberc - which started with a staff of about 100 - developed into a research centre with more than 2000 workers. Our research centre has gained a considerable reputation the world over; we have acquired sincere friends in the socialist countries> above all in the Soviet Union which has given us constant and efficient support in the initiations development and execution of our various important research programmes. In connection with anniversaries^ we recall the past in order to feel more secure in the present and to envisage more courageously the future. Vissza
