26 JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY [Vol. 5 



President F. L. Washburn: You have heard the report of the 

 committee. What is your pleasure? 



A Member: I move its adoption. Motion seconded. 



Secretary A. F. Burgess: Mr. President, I would like to ask 

 about one thing. If I understood the reading correctly, the Advisory 

 Committee was to be of six members, two to be elected for three years, 

 two for two years, and two for one year, and no further provision was 

 made. It seems to me there ought to be a provision to this effect, 

 — that thereafter two members should be elected for three years, 

 so as to make the committee continuous. I didn't hear that in the 

 report, and I think that clause ought to be added. 



W. C. O'Kane: That was the intention. We were thinking more 

 of the arrangement of the Board and Editors than of that particular 

 detail. 



Adopted bj^ unanimous consent and added to the committee's 

 report. 



A. D. Hopkins: Mr. Chairman, there is another thing I think 

 should be added with regard to the Executive Committee, the chair- 

 man of the Advisory Board should be a member of the Executive 

 Committee. 



W. C. O'Kane: The constitution doesn't specify standing 

 committees. 



A. D. Hopkins: Well, we can specify the chairman of a given 

 committee to act on the Executive Committee. 



Secretary A. F. Burgess: If I might suggest, the Executive 

 Committee consists of the officers of the Association,^ — the 

 President, two Vice-Presidents and the Secretary. Those four men 

 are the Executive Committee. Now, if you make a member of your 

 Advisory Committee, or chairman of your Advisory Committee a 

 member of the Executive Committee or Board of Directors and he is 

 going to continue for more than one year, it will be necessary to elect 

 him President, a Vice-President, or the Secretary of the Association. 



E. P. Felt: The Advisory Committee, as proposed in this 

 report, is simply the Advisory Board of the Journal of Eco- 

 nomic Entomology, under a new name, and it is supposed to give 

 advice regarding the general policy of the Journal. It was 

 continued to give stability and conservatism to the Journal of 

 Economic Entomology, and the nomination of the officers of that 

 Journal was put in the hands of this committee. I see no particular 

 need of adding the name of the chairman of that to the Executive 

 Committee, though I do not object. It strikes me that it is going to 

 complicate matters without any very material gain. 



A. D. Hopkins: I fail to see where there is any possible complica-
