The Technical Committee considered the matter of collecting, tabulating and distributing data with literature references on the effects of chemical agents on reproduction. This was a carryover of the previous Committee’s activity under the chairmanship of Dr. Linegar. To bring together this type of information from many sources proved an almost impossible task from the point of view of both manpower and cost. There were many alternative suggestions but the most likely one to yield results was the proposal to have a series of symposia. The Committee’s concern was certainly on target, for the Food and Drug Administration had set up an advisory panel on reproduction to develop a protocol for safety evaluation under the chairmanship of Dr. Leo Friedman. As we now know, such studies have become a very important part of chronic bioassays. An interesting activity was developing at the National Library of Medicine, which the Society of Toxicology had heard about at the previous business meeting in a talk by Dr. George Cosmides on the indexing of terms in the field of toxicology. Dr. Dearborn and Dr. Henry Smyth were asked to serve as a committee to assist in developing this program. They stated that after completing about several miles of government forms, they became consultants to the National Library of Medicine! After being oriented to Index Medicus, the MEDLARS system and the procedures used in both, the Committee directed its attention to such things as (1) identifying areas of toxicology that should be added to MEDLARS, (2) establishing a level of specificity needed for improved information retrieval, (3) selecting and defining new terms, and (4) providing synonyms and related terms. There were many inadequacies in the system for use by toxicologists and their aim was to update it, within the limits of the computer, to make it useful. This was a very important contribution, for retrieval of toxicological information had become very sophisticated and was available to a wide segment of the scientific community. The Membership Committee received a total of 51 applications, of which 30 were recommended for active membership. The principle reasons for non-acceptance were the same as in previous years, insufficient number of original publications and interests other than toxicology. The Committee made an interesting tabulation on academic degrees of the present membership in relation to the 30 members now being admitted; Highest Degree Current Membership New Members Doctorate 291 90.4% 27 90.6% Masters 21 6.5% 2 6.0% Bachelors 10 3.1% 1 3.4% This would certainly indicate that the requirements for membership have been carefully considered before making recommendations for approval. Several changes in the By-Laws were presented to the membership for consideration and were approved at the business meeting. They involved (1) meeting and reporting of the finance committee, (2) the right of members to apply for retired status because of age or disability and (3) failure to pay dues being reduced from two years to one year. 38
The Awards Committee received a number of nominations for both the Merit and Achievement awards. After a full day of review and discussion, the Committee recommended to the Council the names of: Dr. Arnold J. Lehman for the Merit Award and Dr. Gabriel Plaa for the Achievement Award. Both Awards were presented at the banquet on Tuesday evening, March 24, 1967. The banquet speaker for this meeting was Dr. Richard Bates, General Motors Corporation, who told us “How To Live To Be 100.” 39
