Abstract: Education for Operations Research must meet two distinct and important challenges: ( a ) how to provide a continuing flow of new young scientists, in rapidly increasing quantity, to meet the needs of the fast-growing number of operations-research groups developing in industry and the somewhat more slowly expanding demands from the government departments of this country and others, and ( b ) how to provide opportunities for scientists who have worked continuously as operations analysts for many years to acquaint themselves with the advances in their own fields of science. I would like to discuss these two aspects of education for operations research briefly with you this evening (Address of the Retiring President at the banquet of the Fourth Annual Meeting of the Operations Research Society of America, Washington, D.C., May 10, 1956.).
