Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a very great pleasure indeed to welcome you all at this symposium in honor of the centennial of Willem Einthoven on behalf of the organizing bodies: the University of Leiden, which can be proud to have had Einthoven among its professors for more than forty years, the Boerhaave organization for postgraduate teaching, the Dutch Physiological Society, and the Dutch Cardiological Society.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a great pleasure and honor to open the symposium. As Dean of our faculty, I welcome all participants and guests on behalf of the faculty of which Willem Einthoven was such an outstanding member. Those who remember Einthoven know that he thought as a sage and at the same time felt as a man. As young students we often hesitated to approach him, but once we did, we always became impressed by his charm and by the fatherly way in which he formulated his advice. Therefore, you will understand that we feel proud and happy that this symposium is going to be held in commemoration of him. I wish you a most successful and profitable day, guided by the spirit of the man to whom we attribute our highest feelings of admiration. With these few words, Ladies and Gentlemen, I declare the session open.
*Proceedings of the Symposium in commemoration of the birthday (May 21. 1660) of Willem Einthoven. held in Leiden, Netherlands, on Saturday, June 25, 1960, under the sponsorship of the University of Leiden and the Dutch Physiological and Cardiological Societies.
