Professor Morris E. Fine is a pioneer in teaching the unifying concepts underlying all classes of materials: metals, ceramics, polymers, and electronic materials. He is a founder and the guiding genius of the first materials science department in the world. His research career at Northwestern University has spanned a broad range of topics, from physical chemistry to mechanical behavior, and includes studies on metals and alloys, ceramics, and composite materials. A symposium to recognize the many outstanding contributions by Professor Fine to the development of materials science as a discipline was organized on behalf of the TMS-ASM Committees of Mechanical Metallurgy, Flow and Fracture, and Structural Materials. This symposium was held in Detroit, Michigan, on 8-11 October in conjunction with the 1990 TMS Fall Meeting and Materials Week. Academic, government, and industrial speakers from around the globe gathered to present the latest concepts and experimental results on topics ranging from advanced materials to fundamental principles governing materials behavior. The papers were divided into seven sessions: Physical Metallurgy, Ferrous Structural Materials, Metal Matrix Composites, Microstructural Evolution, Engineering Materials, Fatigue and Fracture, and Flow and Fracture in Non-Ferrous Materials.
