Abstract
In the invitation to give this talk it was suggested that I might give a historical perspective on the subject of crystal field effects in rare earths, while at the same time feeling free to range more widely. This was an attractive invitation for altogether I have been associated with rare earths, on and off, for some thirty years. They have provided me with interesting problems, the opportunities to do some theory, and I anticipate they will continue to do so for some time to come.
