Dr. Victor A. Drill was appointed liaison representative to the Drug Research Board and Dr. Harold Peck to the Science Advisory Committee of the Registry of Tissue Reactions to Drugs of the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council. In 1967 Mr. V.K. Rowe became the first Society representative to the Academy’s Division of Chemistry and Chemical Technology. These were very important assignments and gave the Society an opportunity to participate in much broader areas of toxicology and related disciplines. Eleven distinguished toxicologists from other countries were invited to join the Society of Toxicology, of which four accepted. Some refrained from doing so because of their involvement in their own Societies or had other responsibilities. The Education Committee considered producing a film for use in recruiting but concluded it was not the best use of the funds available. It was suggested that training programs in toxicology be developed outside academic institutions but financing was the main obstacle. At the 1970 annual meeting, it was proposed that a teaching session in toxicology be a part of future annual meetings of the Society and this committee urged the Council to seek the support of the Program Committee in planning the 1972 meeting. This was a very active year for the Board of Publications, for the journal, Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, was now issued on a monthly basis. The January and February issues had a combined total of 498 pages and the same number allocated to March and April. These four numbers incorporated 500 extra pages by Academic Press in an effort to eliminate the backlog of manuscripts. The acceptance rate was 78.2%. The rejection rate of 21.8% was considered low and reflected the efforts of the Editor, Associate Editors and reviewers to help authors upgrade their papers, an educational activity that is important to the Society’s efforts to raise the standards in toxicology. The lag time was now reduced to about two months, a remarkable achievement. Although the journal had a remarkable success, through the efforts of volunteer help, the ever increasing number of manuscripts bore seeds of trouble ahead. It was obvious that the time had come to consider hiring a professional to relieve the Editor and Associate Editors of some of the routine and time consuming tasks of putting the manuscript in final order for publication. The Board also thought there should be more frequent editorials on topics covering a wide range of interests, such as “risk-benefit ratio” and “dose-response in appraisal of chemical effects” in which the views of toxicologists would become known. Other considerations included a booklet on toxicological methods, produced in conjunction with workshops in special areas of toxicology, and inclusion of papers on human studies in Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology. The Program Committee received 184 titles of which 158 were accepted for presentation at the scientific sessions. A symposium on “Dose Response in the Appraisal of Toxicologic Effect” was arranged by the Technical Committee and scheduled as a plenary session on Monday afternoon, March 8. The Chairman was Dr. Lloyd Hazleton and the participants were: Dr. Umberto Saffiotti, NIH; Mr. Carrol Weil, Mellon Institute; and Dr. Mitchell Zavon, Kettering Laboratory. The Drug Information Association met in the same hotel and at the same time as the Society of Toxicology and Dr. Jean Weston suggested a joint symposium. Arrangements 56
were made for Dr. Ben Oser to speak on “The Results of the Dissemination of Misinformation- Case Histories and Lessons to be Learned Therefrom.” Members of the Society and students from the School of Pharmacy, Johns Hopkins University, were used as Chairmen, monitors and projectionists. The liaison representatives to the National Research Council had several meetings with their respective Committees and were greatly encouraged by the various studies under way and the opportunity to have some input. The Executive Secretary of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Technology was interested in the type of training programs provided by both the Society of Toxicology and the Society of Pharmacology in specialized areas, symposia on critical questions of national importance and whether the Society could assist the Academy by providing a list of members who would be capable and willing to serve on ad hoc committees of the Academy. Dr. MacFarland reported that the Z-37 Committee of the American National Standards Institute had set standards for five industrial materials and that 11 compounds were under review. At the Society banquet on Tuesday evening, March 9th, the President, Dr. Robert Roudabush, presented the Achievement Award to Dr. Yves Alarie of the Graduate School of Public Health of the University of Pittsburgh for his insight in developing methods and models in inhalation toxicology. The Merit Award was presented to Dr. Kenneth DuBois, Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Chicago, for his long and productive career as a teacher, advisor and contributor to the science of toxicology. The speaker for this tenth anniversary year was the Honorable William D. Ruckelshaus, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. He was appointed by President Richard Nixon to consolidate the various agencies concerned with environmental issues. He outlined some of the programs he expected to undertake in which toxicology would play an important role. 57
