The Profession's Leaders Accept . Phannacy's Most Prestigious Awards in Montreal 14
American Pharmacy Voi.NS18 , No. 8, July 15, 1978/ 390
"I am pleased to shine in the light of Hubert." The speaker was W. Byron Rumford of California, the recipient of the first APhA Hubert H. Humphrey Award for major contributions in government and legislative service . He was but the first of many distinguished pharmacists and leaders from other disciplines honored with major awards at the 1978 Annual Meeting in Montreal. A personal friend of the late pharmacist, senator and vice president, Rumford had known Humphrey since the days of the famous civil rights battle on the floor of the 1948 Democratic Party Convention. A nine-term California legislator, Rumford served for 15 years as chairman of the California Assembly's Public Health Committee and is a former speaker of the APhA House of Delegates. From 1970-1976, he was assistant director for consumer protection and federal-state cooperation in the Federal Trade Commission. Fellow Californian and speaker of the house of delegates Mary Munson Runge introduced Rumford and related how- almost 30 years ago-Rumford made it possible for her to satisfy her internship requirements. Just after the Rumford presentation, APhA president Philip Sacks presented an APhA honorary membership to noted physician, author and TV-commentator Art Ulene . Author of the best-selling Feeling Fine and a regular commentator on health care for the NBC-Today Show, Ulene was cited for his contribution to public education and his recognition of the professional role of the pharmacist in safeguarding patient health. Another outstanding educator, Arthur G. Zupko, accepted the 1978 Hugo H . Schaefer Award during May 18 presentation ceremonies at the final general session. Established by the APhA Board of Trustees in 1964, the Schaefer Award recognizes outstanding individual service to both society and pharmacy. Zupko was singled out for more than three decades of service to pharmacy-as dean of the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy, president of the same institution, APhA delegate to the National Health Council, and a variety of other leadership posts.
Community Practitioners Receive Three Awards Two days earlier, one of the profession's most distinguished practitioners received the 1977 Remington Medal, long considered the profession's highest honor. For one of the comparatively few times in its 59-year history, the Medal was presented to a community practitioner-David J. Krigstein of Delaware. Krigstein was twice elected to serve as speaker of the APhA House of Delegates and fought a successful battle in Wilmington to win acceptance of pharmacy as a profession. He served as executive secretary of the Delaware State Board of Pharmacy for a decade (1961-1971), and served for more than 15 American Pharmacy Voi.NS18 , No. 8, July 15, 1978/ 391
years on the board of the Delaware Pharmaceutical Society. He was the 1961 recipient of the Daniel B. Smith Award of the APhA Academy of Pharmacy Practice. Krigstein's May 16 address at the annual Remington Medal Dinner stressed the need for self-discipline and professional unity to achieve the goals of the profession. He cited numerous instances-including passage of antisubstitution laws, exclusion of a drug benefit from Medicare, and the current manpower squeeze as classic examples of what happens when the profession is disunified. He called for a renewed commitment to professional unity from both pharmacy leaders and the "rank-and-file." As a distinguished community practitioner, Krigstein no doubt was pleased to see that two other community pharmacists accepted prestigious awards in Montreal. Robert Earl Davis became the second recipient of the Arnold and Marie Schwartz Award in Pharmacy. Davis practices in the Lexington Family Practice Center in Lexington, SC. One of his colleagues paid Davis this tribute: "Seldom does a day pass that Dr. Davis does not receive patient praise for his efforts in our consultation room, where every patient is counseled on each medication prescribed by our physicians ." In addition, Davis has instituted a monitoring program for hypertensive patients and all chronic patients' medications; developed a literature distribution system; established a comprehensive patient medication profile system; and provides regular blood-pressure checks for all patients. Davis also routinely makes rounds with the center's two physicians and consults with other physicians. Emil W. Baker of Kentucky, the winner of this year's Daniel B. Smith Award, joined Krigs tein and Davis as community pharmacists paid high tribute in Montreal. The Smith Award is given by the APhA Academy of Pharmacy Practice to that practitioner who distinguishes himself both by his practice of the profession and his involvement in community affairs. Baker practices in Mt. Sterling, KY. His pharmacy programs in hypertension, diabetes and parenteral services have earned him a national reputation for innovation and patient-oriented pharmacy practice. In addition, he is a former president of the local Jaycees and is an active member of state and local diabetes associations, serving in 1977 as vice president of the Kentucky Diabetes Association.
Awards for Pharmaceutical Research Distinguished pharmaceutical scientists also won their share of awards in Montreal. There were, for example, these four recipients of the American Pharmaceutical Association Foundation- Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Achievement Awards: • Daniel Banes, director of the Drug Standards Division of the United States Pharmacopeia! Con15
vention, Inc.: the Justin Powers Award in Analytical Chemistry. • Einar Brochmann-Hanssen, professor of pharmacy and pharmaceutical chemistry at the University of California in San Francisco: the Natural Products Award. • Eugene C. Jorgensen, professor of chemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry at the University of California in San Francisco: the Pharmaceutical Medicinal Chemistry Award . • Robert W. Hammel, professor of pharmacy administration at the University of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy in Madison: the Economics and Administrative Science Award. In addition to the individuals cited above, Everett N. Hiestand of The Upjohn Company was named the 1978 recipient of the Ebert Medal, administered by the APhA Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences on behalf of the association . Hiestand was cited for a paper on "Physical Processes of Tableting" published in the April 1977 issue of the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences. An additional research award was presented to Albert M. Mattocks, professor of pharmacy at the School of Pharmacy, University of North Carolina. Mattocks won the 1978 Industrial Pharmaceutical Technology Award, administered by the APhA Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Industrial Pharmaceutical Technology Section. Students Receive Honors Another award administered by the APhA Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences-the Kilmer
Prize-was awarded to Dennis S. Darling, a student at the University of Connecticut School of Pharmacy, for his research which led to the isolation of beta-methyltryptophan from cultures of Streptomyces flocculus. An entire group of students, by the way-the SAPhA chapter at Creighton University-won SAPhA's outstanding chapter award, while the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy SAPhA chapter won the SAPhA Literary Award for best chapter newsletter. Additional Awards The American Institute of the History of Pharmacy also paid tribute to a widely recognized pharmacy and medical historian, Allen G . Debus, professor of the history of science and medicine at the University of Chicago. Debus was presented with the 1978 AIHP Kremers Award in recognition of his research on the influence of the Paraclesians and their chemical philosophy on pharmacy and drug therapy. Another distinguished educator recognized in Montreal was Roy C. Darlington, professor emeritus at Howard University College of Pharmacy and Pharmacal Sciences. Darlington received the First Annual Award for Distinguished Service in Minority Development in Pharmacy from the N a tiona! Pharmaceutical Foundation Inc . Though mentioned last here, not the least of the awards made in Montreal was the conferring of the 1978-1979 APhA honorary presidency on Roy A. Bowers, just-retired dean of the Rutgers College of Pharmacy, where he served for the past 27 years. Dean Bowers has taught at the Universities of Wisconsin, Toledo, Kansas, and New Mexico, where he served as dean prior to going to Rutgers . He was the 1963- 1964 president of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy and was APhA vice president in 1950-1951. With more than 40 years of professional service, Dean Bowers was cited for "leadership in advancing the profession of pharmacy." While no single award-to Dean Bowers or any of the distinguished pharmacists and leaders cited in Montreal-can do justice to the service they have rendered, the Annual Meeting in Montreal at least provided a forum for a grateful profession to acknowledge the finest men and women among them.
