vm iiii = wj«is i% lii w ®r. i|enrj ox tv jFernalb DR. FERNALD is a descendant of an old New England family, which was established in this country bj ' Dr. Reginald Fernald, the physician of the Piscataqua Colony, founded in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in 1630. Dr. Reginald Fernald ' s descendants settled in Maine, where the Fernald family played an important role in the development of the State, to which it has given a governor, and numerous statesmen, clergymen, college presidents, educators, and other citizens of ability and distinction. Of such a lineage one may well be proud, and it is a pleasure to record that Dr. H. T. Fernald has measured up to the high standard and traditions of his family in every way. Dr. Fernald was born in Litchfield, Maine, on the .seventeenth of April, 1866. His early childhood was spent in the town of Houlton, Maine, where his surroundings were exceptionally attractive for the study of natural history; and the foundation of his keenness of observation of insects in the field, and his skill and enthusiasm as a collector were laid in his boyhood expeditions to river and woods, in the pursuit of his favorite pastime. As a student at the State College at Orono, Maine (from which he received the degree of Bachelor of Science in 1885), he maintained his keen interest in the study of Entomology, and his first research problem — the thesis which brought him the degree of Ma.ster of Science from the State College in 1888 — dealt with insect histology. Li 1885 he began his graduate work at Wesleyan, but finding the facilities for research in his chosen field unsatisfactory there, he transferred to the Johns Hopkins University in 1886, and after three years of study in that institution, interrupted by a year of study as Research Fellow in the tropical laboratory established by the University in the Bahama Islands, he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the Johns Hopkins University in 1890. The subject of his Doctor ' s thesis was the Relationships of Arthropods, and true to his lifelong interest in insects, he laid particular stress upon the entomological phase of the subject in this investi- gation, which is one of the earliest and most important studies of the origin and relationships of insects. After leaving the Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Fernald was Professor of Zoology in the Pennsylvania State College from 1890 to 1899, and during the last year and a half of this period, he also served as State Zoologist — a position for which he was exceptionally well fitted through his broad knowledge and training. Since 1899, Dr. Fernald has been connected with the Ma.ssachusetts Agricultural College in various capacities, such as Professor of Entofttology, State Nursery In.spector, Entomologi.st of the Experiment Station, etc.; and, as Head of the Division of Science, Head of the Department of Entomology, Chairman of various committees, etc., his eft ' orts and influence have always been exerted to the utmost
