Additional reprints must be ordered at the time the proofs are returned. January 1965.

J. Soc. Cosmetic Chemists, 16, 59-62(1965) Annual Report of the President Robert A. Kramer December 22, 1964 In making my Annual Report to you as your Nineteenth President-- the twentieth year for the Society of Cosmetic Chemists--let me look back for a few minutes and see where we came from. In 1935, well before the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938, Maison deNavarre first attempted to get a few cosmetic chemists to join him in the formation of a Society that would bring some recognition in the scientific field to chemists working in the cosmetic industry. After ten years of frustration, eleven chemists were finally willing to join him, and they then pioneered in the formation of our Society in 1945. Father Time and retirement have taken their toll, but we are honored in having at least five of the original twelve at today's meeting. The Charter Members are: Philip Adams, James Baker (present), Robert Casely, M. G. deNavarre (present), Emery A. Emerson, Emanual G. Gundlach, Emil G. Klarmann (deceased), Stephen A. Karas (present), Raymond Reed, Marcel Suter (present), Walter Taylor (present), and Cloyce L. Thomas. We owe much to these charter members because their foresight and efforts paved the way for the success of our Society in the U.S.A. as well as for the twelve other Cosmetic Chemist Societies in various countries of the world. Today there are close to 2000 members in the thirteen autonomous societies associated with the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists. Of the 950 members in the U.S.A., well over 100 of them actively participated in the affairs of your Society as officers, directors or committeemen in 1964. All of this splendid crew deserve credit for keeping our ship in perfect trim, but time does not permit me at this moment to thank each one personally. However, I should like to take time to single out a few for special attention and to thank them sincerely for their efforts. 59
