Abstract 
Predictions for the future are extremely hazardous in spite of the wonderful 
progress of the past thirty-five years. Our present day knowledge of Entomology 
should be more generally utilized in the schools, particularly the lower grades, since 
this will develop in the coming generation a more open mind toward improved 
methods. There is need in Entomology for men with breadth of training, deep 
convictions, lofty purposes and persevering ingenuity, men who believe in the pro¬ 
fession and are capable of convincing others. Do the present day Entomologists 
compare favorably with the wonderful early workers, both in results and the relative 
cost of investigations? Is there a desirability of segregating more sharply the ex¬ 
perimental and control or police phases? The remarkable results obtained in heat 
control, vacuum fumigation, etc. open tremendous new fields with numerous prac¬ 
tical applications. Preventive control of insects, akin to preventive medicine, has 
possibilities of great development. 
The honor of election to the presidency of an association of one’s 
peers in his favored branch of science demands more than common thanks, 
more than average effort, more than complacent compromise and more 
than meaningless statement. The opportunity which you have afforded 
me at this thirty-fifth annual meeting, I am most happy to accept by
