President George A. Dean: The meeting will please come to 

 order. 



Some thirty odd years ago, a few men met in the city of Toronto and 

 organized this association of Economic Entomologists. The long 

 record of the association's usefulness has certainly justified this venture, 

 which was launched so many years ago by these men of enthusiasm, 

 earnestness, zeal and vision. Beginning with less than a dozen charter 

 members, it has had a rapid and healthy growth and now nimibers 

 nearly 700 members, including nearly 50 foreign entomologists. As 

 President of this Association, I want to pay my respects to those men 

 for their splendid spirit of sacrifice which led them to devote their 

 time and energy to the study of insects. 



We will now have the report of the Secretary. 



REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 



At the Chicago meeting, the total membership of the association was 600, divided 

 as follows: active, 242; associate, 311; and foreign, 47. At that meeting, 70 

 associate and 2 foreign members were elected, 1 associate member re-instated, and 

 45 were transferred from the associate to the active roll. One active and 5 associate 

 members resigned, and during the present year, 3 active and 10 associate members 

 have been dropped from the roll for non-payment of dues. One active member and 

 one foreign member died during the year. The present membership is 282 active, 

 322 associate, and 48 foreign members, making a total of 652, a net gain of 52. 



On February 22, Professor Charles H. Fernald passed away at his home in Amherst, 

 Mass. He was one of the pioneer teachers of entomology in this country and was 

 widely known and respected by the entomological fraternity throughout the world. 

 He was a charter member of this association and one of its past presidents. He was 

 nearly 83 years old at the time of his death, and owing to failing health had not 

 attended the annual meetings of the association in recent years. 



Professor N. A. Cholodkovsky, a foreign member of this association, died at Petro- 

 grad, Russia, at the age of 61 years. The exact date of his death is not known 

 He was the author of numerous works on entomology.
