OF WASHINGTON, VOLUME XVIII, 1916 83 



sent to his son, R. L. Webster, at the Iowa Agricultural College, 

 who will doubtless find some place where it will be printed. 



Webster was a man who had many friends. He was especially 

 liked by our Canadian colleagues, made frequent visits to Canada, 

 lectured before the Ontario Entomological Society, published 

 many notes in the Canadian Entomologist and in the Proceedings 

 of the Entomological Society of Ontario, and held the warm 

 friendship of the late Dr. James Fletcher and his successor, Dr. 

 C. Gordon Hewitt, Doctor Bethune, the late William Saunders 

 and others. In the States he was regarded with warm friendship 

 and affection by a very large class of farmers, fruit-growers, 

 scientific men, and especially by his entomological colleagues. 

 As has been pointed out in two of the biographical sketches cited 

 in an earlier paragraph, he had the respect and affection of his 

 official assistants in the degree that a kind and wise father might 

 have had. 



He died at the end of a long and useful career, actively in the 

 harness, but with a most useful life work accomplished, with his 

 children grown up and practically established in life, and after all 

 it was a good way to die.
