(3) The Bachelors Degree is the minimal formal educational requirement. (4) The applicant must have conducted and published original research. Editing of company brochures on toxicity or writing technical bulletins is not considered original research. (5) Publication of reviews is not sufficient to fulfill requirement for membership. (6) Rejection of an applicant should be unanimous by the Membership Committee. Thirty-seven members were accepted by invitation and eighty-four (84) were approved through applications and were hence known as “Charter Members.” (See Appendix IV for a list of the Charter Members of the Society.) Two Honorary Members were proposed and approved: Drs. Torald Sollmann and W.F. von Oettingen. As of December 12, 1961, the Society now had 124 members including the Founders, with approximately 80 applications remaining to be reviewed. Dr. Hodge raised the question of having another classification of membership for those engaged in the field of toxicology, who have not published any papers but needed the Society. It was felt that these people should have access to the meetings but establishing another class of membership should be deferred until another time. It was decided that March 4, 1962, would be the deadline for Charter Membership, being one year from the founding of the Society. Applications received after that date would be processed according to the By-Laws. Dr. Deichmann, Treasurer and Chairman of the Finance Committee, reported on his discussions with members of his Committee and they proposed that the annual dues be set at $10.00 per member and that membership in the Society should be contingent upon payment of the dues. The proposal was unanimously approved. In April of 1958, Drs. Fred Coulston, Harry W. Hays and Arnold J. Lehman announced the founding of a Journal, Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, to be published by Academic Press. By September, a sufficient number of papers had been received, reviewed, and approved for inclusion in Volume 1, No.1, January 1959. When the Society of Toxicology was established in 1961, one of the main topics under discussion at each of the Council meetings was having the journal become the official scientific publication of the Society. Dr. Coulston approached Mr. Kurt Jacoby, Vice-President of Academic Press, with this idea and got a very favorable response. On December 12, the Council met with Mr. Jacoby to discuss some items of mutual concern. A few examples follow: (1) Who would be responsible for naming a managing editor, editorial board and editorial policy? Mr. Jacoby replied that these would rest completely with the Society. (2) What about backlog of unpublished scientific papers? Could the number of pages be increased? It was pointed out that the 1961 volume contained 750 pages and 1962 would contain 850. In 1963 Mr. Jacoby said it might be necessary to issue two volumes a year and change the size of the page, thus increasing the amount of material that could be published. But such matters would be decided by mutual agreement. (3) Could the journal issue supplements? Mr. Jacoby said it could, but there would have to be a separate charge for the supplements. This could be worked out between the Society and the publisher. It was emphasized at various times that Academic Press owned the Journal 6
and until it became profitable, Academic Press could not make any concession regarding subscription rates that would make it more difficult to recover any losses. Mr. Jacoby was extremely cooperative and hoped we could carry on the discussion. The Council met on February 19, 1962, in the office of the Advisory Center on Toxicology to finalize plans for our first annual meeting in April in Atlantic City. Guidelines for acceptance or rejection were again reviewed and approved by unanimous vote with the understanding that they be read at the business meeting. A motion was made to include Dr. E.M.K. Geiling as an Honorary Member, waiving the rule permitting only two nominated in one year. The motion was carried unanimously. Samples of suitable scrolls for the Honorary Members were reviewed and, although the Council had not been duly elected by the membership, it was decided to present the scrolls in the name of the Society of Toxicology. Following the December meeting of the Council, Drs. Drill and Shaffer met with Mr. Jacoby and worked out a letter of agreement between Academic Press and the Society of Toxicology that would make Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology the official Journal of the Society. It was unanimously accepted by the Council and the President was authorized to conclude the agreement with Academic Press. It provided for the following areas of responsibility: 1. Academic Press will continue to publish the journal on a bimonthly basis and insert on the front cover a statement that the journal is the official publication of the Society of Toxicology. 2. The Society will conduct the editorial aspects of the operation through a Board of Publications. 3. The Board of Publications will appoint a Managing Editor and will be responsible for the editorial policy. 4. Academic Press will make the journal available to members of the Society, for their personal use only, at a special price of $10.00 per volume for 1962. 5. Any changes in size of the journal, volumes per year, or subscription price will be a matter of mutual concern and will be discussed and agreed upon before changes are made. 6. Academic Press will make available to the Society 15% of the income for reprint orders above 1000 copies of a given paper. 7. In the event that advertisements seem desirable, the Board of Publications will determine policy. 8. The above items could be renegotiated from time to time. Any item not included in the agreement could be discussed by both parties. 7
