Abstract

It is proved that if strongly compact cardinals are consistent, then it is consistent that the first such cardinal is the first measurable. On the other hand, if it is consistent to assume the existence of supercompact cardinal, then it is consistent to assume that it is the first strongly compact cardinal.
