FOREWORD 



This booklet has been compiled at the suggestion of alumni of 

 the Massachusetts Agricultural College who were students under 

 either Prof. Charles H. Fernald or Prof. Henry T. Fernald, or under 

 both ; and it is issued by the college in commemoration of the opening 

 to collegiate use of the new entomological building, which is itself a 

 memorial of the achievement of Prof. Charles H. Fernald in founding 

 and developing entomological study in the college, and of Prof. Henry 

 T. Fernald in taking up and carrying on his father's work. 



The building was opened and dedicated on November 11, 1910, 

 and was at that time practically complete. The program of the 

 services of dedication was : 



Henry James Clark, — Teacher and Investigator, 



Dr. Frederick Tuckerman, '78, Amherst 



Zoology and Entomology at the Massachusetts Agricultural 

 College, 



Dr. W. E. Hinds, '99, Auburn, Ala. 



Presentation Remarks, 



Hon. Frank A. Hosmer, Amherst 



Dedicatory Address, 



Dr. L. O. Howard, U. S. Entomologist, Washington, D. C. 



The work of compiling has been made easy by the cordial assist- 

 ance of all those who took part in the ceremonies, and of others. 

 Dr. Howard's address has already been published (Science, Dec. 2, 

 1910; Entomological News, Vol. 22, No. 3, Page 97, March, 1911). 

 In this booklet, space is lacking for more than a wholly inadequate 

 paragraph of summary of Dr. Tuckerman's address. Dr. Hinds' 

 paper is printed in full; but the limitations of space make necessary 

 some condensation in the biographical sketches, and the author of 

 these and the remaining (slight) alterations wishes here to assume 

 responsibility for errors in fact or unhappinesses in expression that 

 may have resulted from his work.
