Abstract
Jule Charney had an uncanny knack for recognizing good scientific work and potential. Long before coming to MIT he had formed the practice of inviting established or promising scientists to visit him and work with him, sometimes for a year or longer. To the younger ones he often became a principal mentor; to the more senior ones he became a colleague.
* Revision of a contribution to the Charney memorial symposium at MIT, March 1983.
