Abstract

As the Entomological Society of America celebrates its centennial as a professional organization, several other birthdays are being celebrated that have relevance to extension entomologists in the United States. 1Wohundred years ago, this young nation inaugurated its first president, George Washington; 75 years ago the Smith–Lever act (1914) passed Congress to create the Extension Service; and 61 years ago the Section of Extension officially became a functional organization within the American Association of Economic Entomologists. Each has proven its value over time, has strengthened its resolve to better serve humanity with each new challenge, and must continue to change if we are to fulfill the expectations of our clientele in the 1990s and the next century—as a nation, as a professional society, and as the disseminator of technology for the land grant system.
