SOCIETY FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF FOREST ENTOMOLOGY IN 



AMERICA 



An organization to be known as the Society for the Advancement of Forest 

 Entomology in America was effected at a meeting held at Washington, D. C, on 

 March 1, 1913, with A. D. Hopkins, T. E. Snyder, S. A. Rohwer, F. C. Craighead, 



C. T. Greene, and W. S. Fisher, of Washington, D. C, H. E. Burke and J. M. Miller 

 of Placerville, California, Josef Brunner of Missoula, Montana, and W. D. Edmonston 

 of Ashland, Oregon, as charter members. 



The object of this society is to promote a more general interest in the subject of 

 forest entomology and the protection of forest resources from avoidable waste due 

 to the depredations of insects. 



Membership is open to persons who manifest an interest in the subject of insects 

 in their relation to the forest resources and the forest products of North America, 

 providing that they are recommended by a member or a responsible person, and the 

 initiation fee of fifty cents and the annual dues of fifty cents are paid to the secretary- 

 treasurer. 



The following officers were elected: president, A. D. Hopkins; vice president, 

 H. E. Burke; recording secretary, T. E. Snyder; corresponding secretary-treasurer, 

 F. C. Craighead. 



Annual meetings will be held at which the economic side of forest entomology will 

 be discussed, including the reading of papers on the conservation of forest resources. 

 It is intended to publish Proceedings when the Society becomes established on a 

 sufficiently extensive basis. In the meantime papers and discussions of general 

 interest will be presented for publication to forestry, entomological and timber 

 journals. 



Persons interested in this movement should correspond with Mr. F. C. Craighead, 

 corresponding secret ary-trea.surer. Room 410, Evenmg Star Building, Washington,
