SLAC's second Summer Institute on Particle Physics was held at Stanford on July 29-August 10, 1974. The meeting was jointly sponsored by Stanford University, the Atomic Energy Conmission, and the National Science Foundation.

Two hundred and twenty participants, drawn from all corners of the world, joined in a program combining summer school and topical conference formats. A ten-day school of a highly pedagogic nature was followed by an intense three-day topical conference in which experts in the field described their current work. The topic for the 74 Institute was "The Strong Interactions" which, together with last year's coverage of the weak and electromagnetic interactions, provides a broad overview of the entire field of high energy physics.
