As research has become more and more absorbing to the faculty, a \"subtle discounting of the teaching process\" (to quote philosopher Sidney Hook) has too often come into operation. Additionally, in many fields the changing content and structure of knowledge growing out of research have created great need for curriculum revision. This is particularly true, of course, in the physical sciences.\n\nIt is a pleasure, therefore, to contribute a foreword to the Berkeley Physics Course and Laboratory, which is a major curriculum improvement program at the undergraduate level designed to reflect the new directions in physics of the last hundred years. The course has enlisted the efforts of many physicists working in forefront areas of research and has been fortunate to have the support of the National Science Foundation through a grant to Educational Services Incorporated. It has been tested successfully in lower division physics classes at the University of California, Berkeley, over a period of several semesters. The course represents a marked educational advance, and I hope it will be very widely used.\n\nThe University of California is happy to act as host to the inter-university group responsible for developing this new course and laboratory and pleased that a number of Berkeley students volunteered to help in testing the course. The financial support of the National Science Foundation and the cooperation of Educational Services Incorporated are much appreciated. Most gratifying of all, perhaps, is the lively interest in undergraduate teaching evinced by the substantial number of University of California faculty members participating in the curriculum improvement program. The scholar-teacher tradition is an old and honorable one; the work devoted to this new physics course and laboratory shows that the tradition is still honored at the University of California.\n\nClark Kerr Foreword
