Institute for advanced study to renovate the ECP building during 1993-94 in order to open a full-time child care center in the fall of 1994 to serve primarily Institute families and also some families from the community. In addition, the long-established Crossroads Nursery School program will be integrated into the center. The renovated ECP building will also house an exercise facility for the Institute community. I wish to close my report by commenting on the most noticeable and important physical and academic change in the landscape of the Institute: its two new buildings. The opening of the new building to house the School of Mathematics was a major milestone for the Institute, brought about through the dedicated efforts of Trustees, Faculty, staff, and many others. It was celebrated in April 1993 with a two-day series of lectures by Institute Faculty and Members and a special talk by Dr. Frank Press, President of the National Academy of Sciences. For the dedication, the Institute reprinted "The School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study," by Armand Borel, A Reprint from A Century of Mathematics in America, Part III, pp. 119-147, American Mathematical Society, Providence, R.I. Faculty, Members, and staff have already moved into the new building and are delighted with the facilities it provides. The new lecture hall adjacent to the Mathematics Building has been named Wolfensohn Hall in honor of Elaine and James D. Wolfensohn. In naming its new lecture hall for them, the Institute for Advanced Study recognizes with deep appreciation the Wolfensohns' generous and dedicated spirit and their commit- ment to the highest standards of quality and integrity. For all they have done and for their continuing leadership, the Faculty and Board of Trustees expressed their esteem, gratitude and affection though a concert of dedication on May 7 at which Isaac Stern, Sara Wolfensohn, and the St. Lawrence String Quartet per- formed. The facility is already in frequent and much appreciated use. The best measure of the Institute's vitality is in the reports of the Schools in the pages that follow. I want to thank all those who have worked to help the Institute achieve the high purpose and vision it embodies today. 18 Phillip A. Griffiths Director
