FOREWORD The Council of the Society of Toxicology takes great pride in presenting this 25-year history as written by Harry W. Hays, the Society’s Historian. As one of nine Founders and as the first secretary and fourth President of the Society, Harry has utilized his intimate knowledge of Society affairs along with his personal dedication to complete this chronicle of the dramatic growth of the Society of Toxicology. It has truly been a labor of love for Harry to record the significant events as the small group of nine far-sighted scientists quickly grew to 183 charter members in one year and to nearly 2,500 members in twenty-five years. All toxicologists are in Harry’s debt for making this record of growth available for our edification and for posterity. The Society of Toxicology is a non-profit corporation of scientists dedicated ‘to promote the acquisition and utilization of knowledge in toxicology and to facilitate the exchange of information among its members as well as among investigators of other scientific disciplines.” This history clearly documents that the purpose of the Society has been fulfilled and preserves the names of the scientists who have worked to make the events happen. The world is certainly a better place for all living things because of the efforts and contributions of scientific knowledge fostered by the Society of Toxicology. To Harry W. Hays and his assistant, Florence M. Carleton, go the congratulations and sincere thanks from Council and from all those associated with the Society of Toxicology. Emil A. Pfitzer 25th President Society of Toxicology i
PREFACE For a quarter of a century members of the Society of Toxicology have met annually to present the results of original research on chemicals and substances of plant and animal origin. It has been enormously gratifying to see how scientists of widely diverse interests could work together in advancing the science of toxicology and promoting a better and safer environment. The Society has grown far beyond the expectations of its Founders. Each year more young people are being admitted as associate and student members, thus fulfilling its purpose to promote the acquisition and utilization of knowledge and to facilitate the exchange of information among its members as well as of investigators in other scientific disciplines. Working closely with other scientific societies has broadened our perspectives and objectives for the future. It would be difficult if not impossible to describe what each of the officers, councilors and committee members has contributed to the growth of the Society, but there is no doubt that without their dedication and unselfish devotion, it would not have attained its present position as a preeminent scientific society. Special recognition must go to those who served as Secretary and Treasurer for their unwavering loyalty in carrying out their duties in a highly professional manner. When I accepted the role of Historian, I had no idea of the amount of time that would be required to sift through the minutes, programs, committee reports, correspondence, newsletters, etc. and then put it all into some logical sequence. It was at times a frustrating, but still rewarding experience. It is quite possible that some important events have been inadvertently omitted but I believe the history truly reflects what a young and vigorous society has accomplished over the relatively short span of twenty-five years. I would like to acknowledge the assistance of Florence M. Carleton, who played an important part in the organizational work of the Society and for helping to bring this history to a final conclusion. She has contributed generously of her time in recalling past events and in editing the final report. We have come a long way in these past 25 years and let us hope that by the year 2011, the Society will be able to look back at another 25 years of even greater accomplishments. Harry W. Hays, Ph.D. Washington, D.C. May 1986 ii
