His premature death produced no small effect among his colleagues and friends, and thus we would like to recall here the history of his life as it relates to the mathematical com• munity. Born on February 11, 1921 in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, he received his early education at the former Naniwa High School. In September 1942, he received his Bachelor of Science in mathematics from Osaka Imperial Univer• sity and immediately became an assistant in the Faculty of Science at the then newly established Nagoya Imperial University. Thus began Ills career as a mathematician. Within a short time, he was promoted to associate professor and in 1953 to full professor at Nagoya University. In the spring of 1960, he became a professor of Osaka University as successor to the chair of the late Kenjiro Shoda, who had been his former teacher and was at that time president of Osaka Uni• versity. During his professorship there, he was instrumental in organizing the mathematics department. Also at his suggestion and through his help, the Osaka Mathematical Journal and the Journal of Mathematics, Osaka City Uni• versity, were combined within a single publication, the Osaka Journal of Math• ematics. In September of 1966, he became professor at the University of Notre Dame, in Notre Dame, Indiana in the U.S. and remained so for fourteen years. In the summer of 1980, he returned to the Faculty of Science at Osaka Uni• versity. Before going to Notre Dame, Matsushima had been recognized not only in Japan, but also abroad, as is evidenced in the following events. In Sep• tember of 1954, he spent one year in France, at the Universities of Strasbourg and of Paris, where he had been invited by C.N.R.S. From September of 1962, he studied for one year at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. In the fall of 1965 he returned to France where he was visiting professor at the University of Grenoble for one year. In the summer of 1965, he organized the U.S.-Japan Seminar on Differential Geometry together with Kentaro Yano and Katsumi Nomizu at the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences at Kyoto University. This was the first international congress in Japan for geometers, and eleven mathematicians from the United States par• ticipated. Reprinted from Osaka J. Math. <1) 21 (1984). vi In 1962, Matsushima received the coveted Asahi Prize for his "Research of Continuous Groups". In 1967 he became a member of the first editorial board of the then newly established Journal of Differential Geometry and re• mained one of its editors throughout his lifetime. In May of 1980, prior to Matsushima's return to Osaka University, some fifty of his colleagues, former and present, showed their appreciation and respect for him by their participation in a conference in geometry held in his honor at the University of Notre Dame. In honor of his sixtieth birthday in February of 1981, a volume of papers was dedicated to Matsushima. Besides those papers written by his former students and colleagues especially for this occasion, some of the works presented at the above mentioned conference were also included in the volume which is entitled "Manifolds and Lie Groups, Papers in Honor of Yozo Matsushima", edited by J. Hano et al. and published by Birkhauser. As is outlined comprehensively in the following article generously con• tributed by Professor Shoshichi Kobayashi, in Matsushima's many mathematical works the emphasis is on the theory of Lie groups and manifolds. His works on these theories and on related topics such as discrete groups, unitary representa• tions, and functions of several complex variables have already proven to be valuable references in many current papers. Matsushima's love for mathematics is evidenced by the discipline and diligence he consistently applied to his research. He was a man whose con• cern lay not only in mathematics, but he had a keen interest in human nature and a constant curiosity about the world that resulted in his being an avid reader of a variety of books and a most interesting conversationalist. His friends and colleagues will miss not only his mathematical talent, but the warmth and cy• nical humour which lay behind his outwardly serious countenance.

Matsushima and its development Shoshichi KOBAYASHI*' In the past thirty years, differentia] geometry has undergone an enormous change with infusion of topology, Lie theory, complex analysis, algebraic ge• ometry and partial differential equations. Professor Matsushima played a leading role in this transformation by bringing new techniques of Lie groups and Lie algebras into the study of real and complex manifolds. He was a man of great insight; the problems he has worked on and the results he has obtained continue to be sources of inspiration for us geometers.
