for the Advancement of Science. It was voted that the representatives 

 of this association on the council of the American Association for the 

 Advancement of Science be requested to present to that association 

 the names of active members whom they consider should be made 

 fellows. 



At the Friday morning session during the discussion of the paper on 

 the European Corn Borer, the following motion was made and unani- 

 mously carried: That this Association endorses the utmost possible 

 measure of eradication of the European Corn Borer and further en- 

 dorses the proposition of asking Congress for sufficient appropriation 

 to undertake immediately a competent campaign of eradication, under 

 Federal direction. As this was a joint session of the Association and 

 the Section on Horticultural Inspection, it became necessary to nomi- 

 nate a Chairman of the Section for the year 1919. Mr. E. C. Cotton 

 was nominated for Chairman and Mr. J. G. Sanders was elected Sec- 

 retary of the Section. 



At the final session, the following business was transacted :

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS 



The Committee on Resohitions has the honor to report the following resolutions : 



We beUeve that our Association and our profession has just crossed the threshold 

 ■of a new era in scientific effort. As we look back over the record of the past year we 

 find that our numbers have been decreased by several deaths, some in the service of 

 our own glorious nation, and some in the service of our great Allies, while others have 

 died in the simple performance of their hfe-time duties. We glory in all that they 

 have done for our science, and in these few words wish to pay tribute to each of them 

 for the work that he accomplished. 



We desire to call attention to the faithful services of our Association's officers of the 

 past year, and the welcome address of our retiring President ; to the courtesies of the 

 Johns Hopkins University, and the Committee of Arrangements of the Association. 



Finally we look forward toward the building up of a firm foundation for economic 

 ■entomology.
