OBJECTS OF THE ASSOCIATION OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGISTS. 
By CLARENCE P. GILuLerre, Fort Collins, Colo. 
No one regrets more than myself that our honored president and 
genial friend, Professor Bruner, has found it impossible to be with us 
on this occasion, or to prepare an address for our instruction and 
entertainment. — 
It is at the request of Professor Bruner and our worthy secretary 
that I am offering this hastily prepared substitute for a presidential 
address, that we may appear to live up to our constitution and time- 
honored custom.
