JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY 
[Vol. 13 
of the Association, but aside from the personal compliment, there is something very 
much stronger. It means that, as a class among scientific men, we have been coming 
for a long time with increasing rapidity and that we have gained by our sound scien¬ 
tific work the confidence of our fellow workers in other branches of science. That 
means a great deal. It is one thing to gain public confidence, but down in the bottom 
of our hearts we want the confidence in the value of our scientific work and the per¬ 
fection of our methods in men who are working with other and older branches of 
science. I think it is not me who is to be congratulated, so much as the whole group 
of entomologists, economic and pure. (Applause.) 
Mr. H. A. Gossard, one of the representatives of this Association 
on the council of the American Association for the Advancement of 
Science, stated that he had been endeavoring to go over the lists of the 
Association in order to arrange for the promotion of all of our members 
who are entitled to receive fellowships in the American Association for 
the Advancement of Science. 
Mr. Gossard stated that it was quite a complicated task and that it 
would take considerable time, hence he doubted whether it would be 
possible to make an entire adjustment of the matter at the present 
meeting. 
At the afternoon session, Friday, the closing business was transacted. 
President W. C. O’Kane: I will call for the report of the Audit¬ 
ing Committee.
