the individual or of the college at which he has been trained, and the 

 selections are therefore perfectly unbiased. 



The teaching of entomology at Cornell and at the Massachusetts 

 Agricultural College was begun at an early date; these departments 

 of these institutions have been well supported, and these facts account 

 in the main for their larger representation on this list. The University 

 of Illinois is represented by but five, yet this does not mean that Forbes 

 and his assistants have not been training many good men. Professor 

 Forbes's activities have been so extended that he has been able to 

 employ himself most of his best graduates, while many others have 

 gone out into college and experiment station work. 



It will be noticed that Harvard has been represented by seven. 

 Two of these were from the early days of Doctor Hagen, namely, 

 H. G. Hubbard and B. P. Mann; a third, P. H. Timberlake, took post- 

 graduate work at Harvard after graduation from Bowdoin; a fourth, 

 E. S. G.Titus, took his doctorate under Wheeler of the Bussey Institu- 

 tion quite recently, the fifth, R. W. Glaser, is now at work at the Bussey 

 Institution on insect diseases and is studying for the Bureau the wilt 

 disease of the gipsy moth, and the remaining two, Messrs. G. E. 

 Clements and W. S. Munro went from Harvard to the Yale Forest 

 School before entering the service. Now that Wheeler is at the 

 Bussey Institution, it is safe to predict that the services of men from 

 Harvard will be sought for by the government and the states in the 

 future. 



It is shown that twelve men have studied at European institutions 

 pf learning, and also that eighteen have, like Glover and Riley, had no 

 college education. It is especially noticeable with those who have not 

 been to college that many of them seem not to have suffered in the least 

 from the lack of college training, since this, category includes such 

 leaders as F. M. Webster and A. D. Hopkins, such excellent systema- 

 tists as D. W. Coquillett, W. H. Ashmead, C. H. T. Townsend, and O. 

 Heidemann, and such capital observers as T. Pergande, H. S. Barber, 

 A. Koebele, J. D. Mitchell and F. C. Pratt. 



Several of the men have studied at more than one college, and in 

 such cases he is credited as a unit to each of the colleges. 



The leaders of the different sections of the work of the Bureau of 

 Entomology are distributed as follows: Marlatt, now chairman of the 

 Federal Horticultural Board, in addition to ranking next to the chief 

 in the Bureau, graduated from the Kansas State Agricultural College; 

 Webster and Hopkins, as has just been pointed out, educated them- 

 selves; Chittenden graduated at Cornell; Quaintance received his 

 bachelor's degree from the Florida Agricultural College, his master's 

 degree from the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, and later took post-
