  I review progress in understanding the evolution of normal field and cluster
galaxies through the combination of HST imaging and ground-based spectroscopy.
These data suggest that the bulk of the star formation producing the
present-day galaxy population occurred at accessible redshifts, $z<$2.
Furthermore, a surprising amount of the detailed processing that shaped the
Hubble sequence and morphology-density relation occurred surprisingly recently.
The stage is thus set for a concerted attack on these questions with the
present generation of 8-10 metre large telescopes. An important step forward
will be the development of efficient survey techniques for the systematic
exploration of the $z>$1 Universe. Some possible approaches are briefly
discussed.
