Year Summary with all the minutes, meeting programs, and members' names, including all the officers, was
bound in a volume presented to the Institute of Medicine of Chicago, of which the Chicago Section had been an
affiliate member since 1954. Later volumes 7 are likewise being prepared by Frank J. Orland, an active past
office-bearer of this versatile Section.
An IADR Honorary Vice-Presidency was conferred upon Edgar D. Coolidge (1958-59) for great activity
as a member and researcher.
Titles of papers read at the Chicago Section meetings were often, though not regularly, published in the
Proceedings of the Institute of Medicine and the Journal of Dental Research. 8
The Chicago Section was host to the annual IADR meeting for a record fourteen times 9 through 1970.
Section members formed the Local Arrangements Committee of IADR on these significant occasions. (See
chapter on "Meetings and Members" for exact dates and sites.)
This Section was also honored by having the most men elected to the IADR Presidency while they were
members of the Section: Frederick B. Noyes, 1925-26; Arthur D. Black, 1929-30; Edward H. Hatton, 1933-34;
William G. Skillen, 1936-37; Isaac Schour, 1941-42; Allan G. Brodie, 1948-49; J. Roy Blayney, 1949-50;
Leonard S. Fosdick, 1951-52; Dan Y. Burrill, 1963-64; and Gordon H. Rovelstad, who was elected while in
Chicago but was transferred to Washington, D.C., where he served his term of 1970-71. It should be mentioned
that there might have been another IADR President from the Chicago Section; unfortunately, Rudolf Kronfeld,
who was President-Elect, 1939-40, died 13 February 1940, exactly one month before his inauguration as
President.
One of the highlights of the Section was its Fiftieth Anniversary Dinner Meeting held (almost on its
birth date) on 28 December 1970. In addition to many members and wives, several guests attended from other
Sections who were in Chicago for the AAAS Nd Section Meeting down the street (see chapter on "Other
Gatherings" for topics and site). After the cutting of the elaborate birthday cake, F. J. Orland, President-Elect of
IADR, portrayed the total though concise history of the Chicago Section in chart form. Next on the historical
program, G. H. Rovelstad, IADR President, spoke on "The Next Fifty Years".
The officers of the Chicago Section at the end of 1970 were H. William Lyon, President; Allen F.
Goldberg, Secretary; John P. Waterhouse, Treasurer; and Patrick D. Toto, Councilor.
Moreover, there were at the time of the Section's Fiftieth Anniversary Meeting a total of 165 members
(more than in any other Section), ninety-five of whom were regular IADR members and seventy associate
members.
THE CINCINNATI SECTION
The Cincinnati members of IADR voted to form a Section in January 1964. It was recognized by the
parent organization in March of the same year at the Forty-second General Meeting in Los Angeles, California.
