Based upon the capabilities that are likely to be available from space and terrestrial observatories around 2015-2020 and the traditional interests of the Mexican astronomical community, I propose that the narrow-field telescope (NFT) be dedicated to high resolution spectroscopy covering wavelengths from the optical to the mid-infrared and adaptive optics imaging and spectroscopy (medium to high spectral resolution) in the near-infrared. These capabilities would permit studying the processes responsible for galaxy evolution after the epoch of mass assembly: the development of galactic structure, star formation, stellar structure and mass distributions, the kinematics and chemical composition of stars and the interstellar medium (ISM).
