Ladies and Gentlemen, 

in the early October 2003, within the frames of the program Socrates-Erasmus, the Faculty of Geology of the Warsaw University hosted the outstanding scientist, Professor Marjorie Wilson (School of Earth Sciences, Leeds University, United Kingdom), the world-class specialist in the field of petrogenesis of magmatic rocks. Professor Wilson delivered her lectures during two days. More than two hundred persons, students and scientific employees, listened to these lectures, including guests who came from many institutions of various cities of Poland.

The interest to the lectures and discussions, which accompanied the event, caused that Professor Marjorie Wilson kindly agreed that the presentations of her lectures should be placed in the WWW site of our faculty. I would be very glad to thank Professor Marjorie Wilson for coming to our institution, for excellent lectures and for the generously offered possibility to propagate the presentations in our scientific community. I would like to express my thanks to all listeners for attendance and active participation. 

With my best regards,
Ewa Slaby, Attorney Dean
