A circular letter was sent to each of the associate members asking those who have 
not already done so, to file with the membership committee, data regarding their 
training and experience, list of publications, and, where possible, a copy of each, so that 
the members of this committee may have more adequate information about the work 
that our associate members are doing, with a view to possible promotion to active 
membership. Of the 303 associate members, 161 or 53 per cent have filed state¬ 
ments, and 44, or 14 per cent have sent publications. The committee again asks the 
associate members to file such information for the future use of the committee. 
Several letters have been received from associate members, criticising the policy 
of the Association in regard to promotions to active membership. In explanation of 
this policy, the committee wishes to again point out that for several years an arrange¬ 
ment has existed whereby all active members are eligible to be made Fellows in the 
American Association for the Advancement of Science, without the necessity for 
further investigation. 
In other words, active membership means something. 
It should be borne in mind that this is an association of economic entomologists. 
All active members through their investigations and publications, or teaching, or 
control work, are supposed to have added to our knowledge of the subject. There are 
several systematists and workers in other fines of natural science on our fist of asso¬ 
ciate members; men whose training, experience and achievement are of high order. 
Such members, so far as scholarship is concerned, would surely be eligible for promo¬ 
tion, but we cannot substitute some other fine of endeavor in place of that for which 
this Association was formed. 
Where associate members neglect to file statements or publications, your committee
