Dr. Peter Flesch, Professor of Dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania, spoke on "Laboratory Methods for Studying the Chemical Effects of Topi- cal Agents Upon the Skin." Dr. Flesch received his M.D. degree in Buda- pest, Hungary, and his Master's and Ph.D. in Pharmacology at the Uni- versity of Chicago. His research work in dermatology includes studies on the chemical effects of human sebum and of epidermal keratinization, as well as work on hair growth and pigmentation. The guest speaker for the meeting on Oct. 12, 1954, was Dr. Adolph Rostenberg, Professor of Dermatology at the University of Illinois, who spoke on "Sensitivity to Simple Chemicals as Used in Cosmetics." Dr. Rostenberg spent six years as a dermatologist with the Food and Drug Administration and is presently a consultant in dermatology for the FDA. Dr. Donald H. Powers, Director of Research at Warner-Hudnut Inc., and President of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists, spoke on "Recent Develop- ments in the Cosmetic Field" at the Nov. 9, 1954, meeting. Dr. Powers re- ceived his formal education at Boston and Princeton Universities and has had wide experience in the fields of cosmetic and textile chemistry. Dr. Powers is a former Chairman of the Scientific Section of the Toilet Goods Association.
