ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This book is derived from presentations made at the Symposium
"The Molecular and Cellular Biology of Fertilization" held at the
University of California, Davis, on June 20-22, 1984. This 75th
Anniversary Symposium was sponsored by the Division of Biological
Sciences, Donald L. McLean, Dean, and was organized in celebration of
the founding of the Davis campus of the University of California. I
am indebted to the members of the Organizing Committee, W. H. Clark,
R. D. Grey, A. Lopo, and U. A. Urch, who ably assisted in the
organization and execution of the Symposium. Financial support was
provided by the 75th Anniversary Committee and the Division of
Biological Sciences, both of the Davis campus; by a grant from the
California Sea Grant College Program, University of California, La
Jolla; by an NIH Training Grant/Reproductive Biology; and, by a
contribution from Jack Daniels Distillery out of Sacramento. The
members of my research laboratory, N. Wardrip, D. Goldhawk, M. Bakos,
L. Lindsay, B. Shew, K. Clark provided essential logistical support
critical to the smooth and efficient running of the meetings. A
special thanks is due to Bert Urch, who so generously gave of his
time, and of his scientific, epicurean, and enological abilities. I
gratefully acknowledge the personal encouragement, patience, and
involvement throughout the entire process from Symposium planning to
volume publication of Karel J. Hedrick. Many thanks to the
contributors to this volume and the Symposium participants who made
the event both successful and enjoyable - it was fun!
