 does take this occasion to express to the world and to their families the esteem in 

 which they were held. 



2. That we are proud individually and collectively of every man who has served 

 our nation or our Allies in the great struggle for freedom, no matter what may have 

 been the particular field of action which befell him. Each did his part to the best of 

 hLs abihty. 



3. That we as entomologists realize that our science is so intimately related to 

 many other sciences and professions as to require frequent contact, and are deter- 

 mined that we will direct our efforts more and more toward obtaining effective co- 

 operation with all other associated and interested groups of workers in all our prob- 

 lems. 



4. That the science of entomology requires greater coordination in all its branches; 

 and that we do hereby propose tentative discussion with other entomological organi- 

 zations throughout the world, with the ultimate purpose of a world-wide union of en- 

 tomological effort. 



5. That a change is desirable in the Constitution of this Association, so that we 

 may have a more stable organization and may develop year by year deeper seated 

 general policies for our science. 



6. That for the present the most available method of accomplishing the three 

 resolutions above is the formation of a committee on policy, to be composed each year 

 of the President, Secretary of the Association, the Editor of the Jouknal and five 

 members elected for five years each, one retiring each year; that the committee as 

 initially composed contain one each elected for terms of one, two, three, four and five 

 years; that this committee on policy have as its functions the directing of all policies 

 of the Association and its various undertakings, the formulation and fostering of 

 great entomological policies for the profession, and the working out of a more perfect 

 coordination of scientific effort among entomologists and between entomologists and 

 other professions; and finally that this committee on policy become by constitutional 

 amendments an integral part of the Organization.
