The program was divided into two broad sections: unquantized and quantized general relativity. The first section included a review of classical relativity, its experimental tests, the initial value problem, gravitational radiation, equations of motion, and unified field theory. The second section included a discussion of the motivation for quantization, the problem of measurement, and the actual techniques for quantization. In both sections the relationship of general relativity to fundamental particles was discussed. In addition there was a session devoted to cosmological questions. A large part of the discussions is reproduced in the present report in an abridged form, followed by a conference summary statement by P. G. Bergmann. The Chapel Hill conference also marked the establishment of the Institute of Field Physics, directed by Bryce and Cécile DeWitt. The conference was the inaugural conference of this institute. 606 $aPhysical sciences 606 $aMathematics 606 $aNuclear physics 610 $agravitation 610 $atheory of relativty 610 $aphysics 610 $aquantum theory 610 $aMPRL 610 $aEdition Open Access 610 $ahistory of science 615 0$aPhysical sciences. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aNuclear physics. 702 $aRickles$b Dean 702 $aDeWitt-Morette$b Cécile 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996320835103316 996 $aThe role of gravitation in physics report from the 1957 Chapel Hill Conference$93571223 997 $aUNISA
