At the end of the regular program, the meeting was brought to 

 a delightful close by the presentation to the Saengerbund by the 

 Entomological Society of a nearly life-sized portrait of Mr. E. A. 

 Schwarz, honorary president of our Society and for many years a 

 member of the Saengerbund. President Ely made the pres- 

 entation address in which he spoke feelingly of Mr. Schwarz's 

 long connection with the Society and the high place he holds in 

 the esteem of his fellow-members. At the close of his remarks 

 the president read a letter from Dr. L. 0. Howard setting forth 

 his disappointment at not being able to be present to take part 

 in the presentation and expressing in fitting terms his admiration 

 and affection for Mr. Schwarz. 



The gift was accepted, on behalf of the Saengerbund, by its 

 president, Mr. Albert Lepper, who expressed the gratification 

 and appreciation of his Society and in a few appropriate remarks 

 told of the esteem in which Mr. Schwarz is held by his associates 

 in the Saengerbund. 



Mr. Schwarz expressed his appreciation of this demonstration 

 of affection and regard on the part of his fellow society-members 

 and with characteristic modesty stated: "It is more than I de- 

 serve. Whatever benefit I may have been to the Society or what- 

 ever help I may have been, is sufficient reward in itself." 



The following program was presented:
