Twenty-five of these twentynine authors wrote—or write, in one case—their Ph.D. theses under the supervision of Stef Tijs. The other four contributors are indebted to Stef Tijs to a different but hardly less decisive degree. What makes a person deserve to be the honorable subject of a scientific liber amicorum, and that on at least two occasions in his life? If that person is called Stef Tijs then the answer includes at least the following reasons. First of all, until now Stef has supervised about thirty Ph.D. students in game theory alone. More importantly than sheer numbers, most of these students stayed in academics; for instance all those who contributed to the 1987 volume. It is bey
