After the New Year of 1909 Abel corresponded repeatedly with C. W. Edmunds on the extension of membership, the draft of the constitution, and publication of JPET. Although the typewriter was available at the time, they frequently wrote in longhand to each other and to other members of the Council. It should be noted that the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics started out as a joint project between Canada and the United States because V. E. Henderson was from the University of Toronto. The founders first thought of calling the new society the American Pharmacological Society, but this was already in use by a commercial group, so they chose a different name and made it longer by adding "Experimental Therapeutics" - chiefly to emphasize the relation to chemotherapy and a prophecy of things to come. This was revealed by T. Sollmann in his after-dinner speech in Detroit on April 21, 1949. It now appears very appropriate in view of the establishment of the Division of Clinical Pharmacology. In fact, many of the papers published in JPET throughout the years conform to the true meaning of the last two words of ASPET.
