This photograph underlines a point made in the talk by Professor Weisskopf: "High-energy physics aims directly at the most fundamental questions of the basic laws governing the structure of matter and the universe. It therefore must play an important role in the education of the new generation of scientists, who come to our universities in ever increasing numbers." It shows members of the team working with the Saclay/École Polytechnique (Paris) 81-cm liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber at the CERN PS. Giovanni Borreani, adjusting one of the controls, is visiting CERN from the University of Turin. Making notes on the table is Albert Werbrouck, a US physicist also from the University of Turin. In the centre is Adolf Minten, a CERN staff member formerly at the University of Bonn, and standing on the right is Philippe Briandet of the École Polytechnique, Paris.
