  I report on the state of hadronic physics and spectroscopy as reflected in
contributions to the HEP2005 Europhysics Conference. Topics of interest include
lattice field theory calculations of the hadron spectrum, the continuing quest
to account for the proton's spin, pentaquarks, high-statistics Dalitz-plot
analyses, excited charmed--strange mesons, quarkonium spectroscopy, and the new
levels associated with the charmonium spectrum. I also reflect on the goals of
hadronic physics and assess the current state of the art.
