Extract

In opening the symposium, I referred to 3 reasons why I felt the symposium was so important and why I was pleased to participate in it. The first of these reasons was our need to define the benefits of entomology in economic terms so that we could make our case for funding. This point was made repeatedly. Those allocating resources see many outstretched hands. The public demands return on investments. If we are to be successful in having funds allotted to entomology, we must justify these in terms of real return to society.
