February, '10] ENTOMOLOGISTS' PROCEEDINGS 9 



REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS 



Your committee to prepare resolutions relative to the members of 

 the society who had died during the past year, beg leave to report as 

 follows : 



Prof. M. V. Slingerland, President of this Association in 1903, who 

 died ]March 10th, 1909, had won for himself an enviable place among 

 American Entomologists by the accuracy and originality of his obser- 

 vations and by the clearness and directness of his writings. As an 

 Economic Entomologist, while insisting on absolute scientific accuracy, 

 he never lost sight of the necessity of presenting the results of his 

 studies in a form available for the public. He was an inspiring and 

 sympathetic teacher and numbered as his friends all who had associa- 

 tion with him. His untimely death is a distinct loss to Entomological 

 Science. 



By the death of Prof. B. H. Guilbeau, the Society has lost one of 

 its younger members who had already proved his ability as an inves- 

 tigator and teacher. His worth was generally recognized, and those 

 of us who had the privilege of meeting him on the occasions when he 

 attended our sessions were impressed with his qualities of earnestness, 

 sincerity and friendliness. 



In the death of Prof. A. Giard, we recognize the loss of one of our 

 most distinguished foreign members. His contributions to Economic 

 Entomology have for many years been recognized as of special merit, 

 and the Society feels that Entomological Science is deprived of an 

 able exponent. 



Resolved, That these resolutions be placed in the published records 

 of this meeting of the society, and that copies be transmitted to the 

 families of these deceased members with an expression of our sincere 

 sjTQpathy in their personal loss. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Herbert Osborn, 

 F. L. Washburn, 

 C. R. Crosby, 



Committee.
