Abstract
IN addition to his association with the International Faculty of Sciences, H. W. Blood Ryan is also honorary director of tho College of Pestology. We referred to that institution so long ago as December 12, 1925, when wo pointed out that it is a propagandist body and not an educational institution. The “College” has a registered office at 52 Bedford Square, London, W.C.I; but though it seoms to be concerned mainly with insect pests, not a single entomologist of eminence or authority is included in the list of political and other public people whose names appear upon its publications. There is apparently nothing to prevent any individual or group adopting the designation University or Faculty or College and inviting persons to join such a self-styled body. We have no observations to make upon tho objects and activities of the two bodies of this type referred to above, but scientific oworkers must themselves decide whether either a “Faculty” or “College”, constituted as we have stated, merits their support.
