In conclusion, if my plea for entomological study shall meet its 

 desired response in inducing some of you to become faithful laborers in 

 this broad field, where so large an amount of virgin soil is to be upturned, 

 so much tillage is required, and such abundant fruit to be gathered — 

 then, let me further ask of you, not to rest contented to gather for your- 

 selves alone, but that from your superabundant stores you may make 

 large contribution to others. Emulate the example of him whose 

 honored and revered name your association bears. Ever find your 

 greatest incentive to study, not in that it enriches yourself, but that you 

 may impart to others. So gather from Nature's exhaustless stores and so 

 distribute that your fellow-men shall be made the better, wiser and happier 

 from your having been permitted to serve as Nature's interpreters. 



More of honor than regal crown can bestow is in that single word,
