Abstract
The review lectures that make up the basic program of this symposium will cover the most recent observational results, and the present state of theoretical knowledge, of solar activity. It seems, therefore, that the most useful role for the introductory lecture would be to review the outstanding puzzles presented to us by the activity of the Sun so that we may have those numerous dilemmas clearly in mind as the speakers review the accumulated facts and theories.
