DR. E.M.K. GEILING Throughout the long scientific career of Dr. Eugene Maxmillian Karl Geiling, he has maintained a genuine interest in toxicology, which resulted in stimulation of many students and members of his staff to specialize in this area of the biological sciences. Dr. Geiling’s interest in toxicology probably began while he was at Johns Hopkins University in the laboratory of Dr. John J. Abel where poisons of plant and animal origin were a subject of great interest. However, Dr. Geiling’s own contributions to this field are most clearly evident from the great strides which he made in developing a teaching and research program in toxicology at the University of Chicago. Soon after Dr. Geiling came to the University of Chicago in 1936 as Distinguished Service Professor of Pharmacology and Chairman of the newly created Department of Pharmacology, he organized a formal course in toxicology and made knowledge of its content a prerequisite to other courses and to research in his department. During the period from 1936 to 1956, 40% of the 90 students who received advanced degrees in Dr. Geiling’s department did their thesis work on toxicological problems and many other people who spent time in his department as staff members developed an interest and received training and experience in toxicology. In 1941 Dr. Geiling established the University of Chicago Toxicity Laboratory and served as its Principal Investigator throughout World War II. Under his leadership a staff of 60 scientists was acquired to do research on many aspects of toxicology. At the end of World War II he stressed the need for continued research in toxicology, particularly on the fundamental aspects of the toxic actions of chemicals and ionizing radiations. In 1945, he emphasized the need for longrange planning for teaching and research activities in toxicology, with due consideration being given to the establishment of proper opportunities for personal advancement and professional development of toxicologists. The accomplishments of Dr. Geiling in toxicology emphasize the fact that the development of toxicology to its present important status has not occurred spontaneously, but is rather the result of untiring efforts over many years of scientists like Dr. Geiling who have oriented their outstanding research, teaching and administrative ability toward the advancement of this field.

Mr. President, Members of the Council and Members of the Society of Toxicology: Gentlemen, I accept with feelings of humility and gratitude the Honorary Membership which you have conferred upon me in this newly established Society of Toxicology. I am also fortunate to be present at our first meeting. In the future years it will be thrilling to look back at the growth of this society and learn of the important contributions which are being made by our members. No doubt we shall have a better understanding of the many hazards which have become a part of our daily life. Many of these hazards will be alleviated or even conquered. The ever increasing number of potent drugs which are being introduced into medicine, as well as the large number of poisonous chemicals which are being used in so many of our industrial processes, must arouse in us a sense of urgency to speed up the training of toxicologists. In this way we shall be able to cope with the problems which arise in the safe use of these thousands of substances, many of which may be encountered not only by human subjects, but also by our domestic animals, pets and wild life. Fortunately there are a number of agencies, Federal, State and local, which are devoting their efforts to reduce the number of hazards. They also are issuing warning statements about the hazards surrounding us in our daily lives. I have left for the last to make a few comments about the timeliness of establishing the Society of Toxicology, especially since the shortage of trained personnel is becoming more acute. The training centers for young toxicologists are not increasing, nor are some of the existing institutions, in my opinion, making adequate use of their facilities. One of the most urgent tasks of our educational committee is to urge all available training centers to step up their facilities. Furthermore, the agencies concerned with the awarding of graduate fellowships should be encouraged to make available a larger number of training fellowships. Once again Mr. President and Members, my best thanks to all of you for the honor conferred on me, and be assured I shall help wherever possible to stimulate the growth of the Society of Toxicology.
