78 JOURNAL OF ECONO^IIC ENTOMOLOGY [Vol. 8 



ment was j&nalh^ adopted in the list of colleges and the number of 

 entomologists who have sprung from them. 



If we combine the number of different men with the similar figures 

 given last year by Dr. Howard for the Bureau of Entomology, as 

 has been done in the last two columns in the table, a better general 

 survey of the subject will be obtained, despite the fact that duplica- 

 tions undoubtedly occur. These statistics are given in the accom- 

 panying tables. 



Of the institutions attended by the entomologists discussed in this 

 paper, the Massachusetts Agricultural College leads in the number of 

 25 bachelor's degrees conferred. Cornell follows with 24; Cornell has 

 given fourteen doctor's degrees, Massachusetts Agricultural College 

 seven. As regards the master's degree, Cornell has conferred eleven, 

 Ohio State Univeristy nine, and four have been given by the Massachu- 

 setts Agricultural College. In the number of entomologists who have 

 studied for a time without receiving a degree; Cornell also leads vdth 

 twenty, and is followed b^^ Ohio State University with eight. Cornell 

 also is far in the lead, in the number of different entomologists who 

 have studied within her walls. The following institutions lead the 

 others in the number of entomologists receiving instruction there:

In the years to come it will be even more essential than in the past 

 that the entomologist receives a good undergraduate college training 

 as a foundation upon which to build the superstructure of his pro- 

 fessional life work. 



It is particularly gratifying, today, to learn that so large a number 

 of institutions are engaged in supplying the need. 



President H. T. Fernald: If there is no discussion on this paper, 

 we will now adjourn.
