what is more important, I will try to get for you all that I can get out 
of somebody else. It is interesting to me that this has happened in 
the twentieth year of my entomological efforts. About all I can say 
now is that I hope all of you will be president of this Association by 
the time you have been at it twenty years. 
President W. C. O’Kane: Is there any miscellaneous business? 
Secretary A. F. Burgess: A list has been passed around to secure 
subscriptions to the new index. The reduced rate of $4.00 is for mem¬ 
bers only. If we extend this rate to institutions, we immediately get 
into trouble with subscription agencies that handle some of our busi¬ 
ness. Any member can subscribe for as many copies of the index as 
he desires at the $4.00 rate, but he must pay for them personally, or 
if they are to be paid for by an institution, the order must state that 
they are for the use of a member, otherwise the full rate will be charged. 
Mr. J. G. Sanders: I move that in the future we eliminate the 
purchase and use of numbered buttons. They are of some expense 
to the Association and about 20 per cent are usually used. 
It was voted by the Association that this be done. 
Secretary A. F. Burgess: Inasmuch as we will have no more 
numbered buttons, I would like to ask if the Association cares to have 
the list of members and the list of meetings printed in the program. 
The program as printed with covers is more expensive than if the 
covers, list of members and list of meetings were eliminated. The 
list of members is printed largely because each member is numbered. 
I will take full responsibility for originating the button scheme and 
for printing the list of members, but I would like to know whether 
the association thinks the printing of this list is worth the price? 
Mr. J. G. Sanders: I would like to see the list of members printed. 
It is very handy for reference at the meetings. 
Mr. E. C. Cotton: I would not like to see the list of members and 
list of officers and former places of meetings dropped. 
By vote of the Association it was decided to print the program sub¬ 
stantially as heretofore. 
Mr. H. A. Gossard stated that he had checked over the list of 
active members and that he had sent a list of those who were not 
fellows in the American Association for the Advancement of Science 
to that association so that they could be raised to fellowships, if they 
are in good standing on the books. He stated that he had done the 
best he could in the limited time at his disposal to straighten out this 
matter which proved to be quite complicated. He stated that he had 
attended many of the meetings of the council and was very glad to 
have had the privilege of voting for the first economic entomologist to 
be president of the general Association.
