The Honor Roll, prepared by the Secretary of the Association, is 

 another indication of the respect gladly rendered to the men who have 

 heard the call and taken their places with the fighting forces of the 

 nation. Some, unfortunately, will never return. 



Without detracting in the slightest from the high credit due these 

 men, we call attention also to the war activities of other members of 

 the Association. Some have laid aside their professional duties to 

 devote themselves in whole or in part to special work. A notable 

 case is that of Prof. V. L. Kellogg, widely known because of the con- 

 spicuous services he rendered, first on the Belgian Relief Commission 

 and later with the National Food Administration — both vitally im- 

 portant. The war greatly stimulated interest in insects and sanitation 

 and amply vindicated the foresighted investigations along this line 

 begun by Dr. L. O. Howard some twenty years ago. We should also 

 mention, in this connection. Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt of Canada. Both 

 have rendered most valuable service along these lines and have en- 

 joyed hearty and fruitful support from numerous associates and fol- 

 lowers, some rendering conspicuous aid in solving important problems 

 in medical entomology and sanitation. Practically ev^ery American 

 entomologist has found a greatly increased field of usefulness by apply- 

 ing his special knowledge to the better solution of sanitary problems, 

 the growing of larger crops and a material increase in the vitally essen- 

 tial animal products. They were all necessary to win the war. We 

 rejoice that all members of the Association have recognized the call of 

 duty and have "carried on" in a i)eautiful spirit of fellowship and 

 service.
