ABSTRACT A CONFERENCE on the properties of liquid helium was held at the Clarendon Laboratory, Oxford, on June 27 and 28. Welcoming the guests, Prof. F. E. Simon said that the original plan
had been to have a colloquium on the subject, but the response to the invitations had shown that there was widespread interest in the problem of liquid helium which seemed to justify a
meeting on a larger scale. Helium, which because of its high zero-point energy remains a liquid even at absolute zero, presents a unique possibility of studying a ‘quantum liquid’. With
experiments starting again after the War, this was a suitable time to bring together the experimentalist and the theoretical worker. Since the War had made it difficult for many scientific
workers to keep up with current fundamental research, it had been decided to open the conference with a short survey of the existing experimental data which had been compiled by Dr. K.
