Observational evidence is reviewed in an attempt to decide between a reversing (dynamo) and a nonreversing primordial solar poloidal magnetic field. The data examined include Zeeman-effect measurements, measurements of gross magnetic fluxes in individual magnetic elements, determinations of average field strength, observations of polar-cap magnetic fields, eclipse observations of coronal structure, and observations of interplanetary-magnetic-field polarity reversals. It is suggested that all the evidence is strongly in favor of a deep-seated permanent (i.e., nonreversing) poloidal field. Interactions of a possible primordial dipolelike solar magnetic field with background magnetic fields and convective motions are predicted for comparison with observations in the search for further evidence of the primordial solar field.
