Abstract
At the time when the Entomological Society of Canada was founded, 88 years ago, the science of entomology was almost synonymous with systematics. I say almost synonymous, because important advances in the study of insect development and behaviour had already occurred and even economic entomology, which now absorbs nine-tenths of our professional effort, was already showing signs of growth. Nevertheless, the great names in entomology were still those of the systematists. The work of description and classification was still the most absorbing interest in the entomological field.
