By kind permission of the College authorities the members

 for social intercourse. 



DR. L. O. HOWARD. 



To Dr. L. O. Howard, Chief of the Bureau of Entomology at 

 Washington, we offer our hearty congratulations on his election to 

 membership in the National Academy of Sciences of the United 

 States. This is regarded as the highest honour that can be bestowed 

 on any scientific man in North America. As stated by Mr. E. A. 

 Schwarz in a recent issue of the Proceedings of the Entomological 

 Society of Washington, this honour has been well earned by Dr. 

 Howard. "He has done a good deal of meritorious work in sys- 

 tematic and bionomic entomology; he has published many import- 

 ant works on economic entomology, but above all, he is now, and 

 has for many years been the efficient chief and leader of the Bureau 

 of Entomology, and as such has acquired a world-wide and deserved 

 reputation. Under the enlightened and liberal administration of 

 Dr. Howard, the growth of the Bureau of Entomology has heen 

 really marvellous. It has become a model for the many similar, 

 though much smaller, institutions that have been established of 

 late years in many countries." 



"Since the organization of the Academy the following entomo- 

 logists have been elected members: Dr. John L Lecontc, Dr. A.S. 

 Packard, Mr. Samuel H. Scudder, Prof. W. M. Wheeler in 1912, 

 and now Dr. Howard." The three former are no longer living, 

 and entomology is thus represented by the two latter only.
