| Title | File regarding International Physiological Congress, Zurich, by Henry Dale |
| Date | 1937-1938 |
| Description | File of papers regarding 16th International Physiological Congress, Zurich, 1938 and Dale's opening statement. Dale spoke on 'The scope and future of teaching and research in pharmacology'. The file contains a typescript of Dale's opening statement, and correspondence about the Congress and the reprint of his statement. In his correspondence, Dale writes that in his address he intends 'rather to provoke discussion then to give a lead to opinion'.
Noteable in this file are letters which discuss the arrest of Otto Loewi and his family. In a letter to Professor E Rothlin, 25 March 1938, Dale suggests that this arrest may create a difficult atmosphere for German scientists attending the International Congress.
Correspondents include: Professor E Rothlin; Professor W J Dilling; Dr A Wander; Henry G Barbour; W K Straub; Dr C Philip Grabfield; Professor Dr Emil Bürgi; Carl Voegtlin; J A Gunn; J H Burn; Professor M Tiffeneau. |
