Abstract
During this year 1977 it is worthwhile to pause and reflect on the origins, objectives and direction of the Entomological Society of America (ESA) as well as of the science it represents. Among the biological societies, aside from those that are clearly labeled agricultural or horticultural, ESA is unique in that its earliest component was avowedly concerned with applied science. This was the American Association of Economic Entomologists, organized in 1889 and merged with the American Entomological Society in 1953. The latter was not organized until 1906 and was composed of amateur entomologists, taxonomists, and university entomologists not engaged in applied research.
