Contents - IADR/AADR

Recognizing that this small fund was growing, though very slowly, the 1957 revision of the IADR
Constitution stipulated in Article IX, Section 5: "If and when endowments for the Journal exceed $10,000 the
Council shall appoint three endowment trustees to be custodians of the endowment assets. The terms of service
of the endowment trustees shall be three years and the terms shall be so staggered that one new trustee is
appointed each year. A trustee may not succeed himself."
As of November 1962, while F. J. Orland was Editor, this fund, sometimes labeled simply the
Endowment Fund of the IADR, amounted to $2511.85. 24 At the very end of 1964 it had been increased to
$2597.58 and its name upgraded to be thereafter the "Endowment Fund of the IADR for the Journal of Dental
Research." 25 This was in conformity with the facts—that the fund was held by the IADR for the Journal's
eventual benefit. During the F. J. O. Editorship and with his effort, the fund was doubled from various
contributions by friends of the Journal. By the end of September 1970 it totaled $5558.11, attaining more than
half of its ostensible goal.
The intent of the fund, according to all who have been active in Council and Publication Committee
deliberations over the years, is that it should be safeguarded and maintained intact until it grows to $10,000,
when it may be able to do the Journal some significant good.
This resumé of the facts about these funds (which previously had not been very clear) was compiled
from facts gleaned from the Journal of Dental Research, from unpublished correspondence, and with the
concurrence of several men with long memories, such as Hamilton B. G. Robinson, Dan Y. Burrill, J. Roy
Blayney, George C. Paffenbarger, and J. Frank Hall.
