Program of the Seventh Saranac Symposium (1952)

The printed program of the Seventh Saranac Symposium, held September 22 to 26, 1952, by the Saranac Laboratory of the Edward L. Trudeau Foundation at Saranac Lake, New York. Its foreword says the symposiums were for "the discussion of health problems pertaining to workers exposed by inhalation to industrial substances," open to "the insurer or the insured" alike. The list of participants includes men from insurance companies, and the morning of Wednesday, September 24, was given to "Pneumoconiosis and Pulmonary Cancer," with talks on asbestos miners by Dr. Paul Cartier and on asbestos weavers by Dr. Kenneth M. Lynch.

What it shows

The insurance participants include Andrew Kalmykow and Richard Wagner of the Association of Casualty and Surety Companies, B. E. Kuechle of Employers Mutual Liability Insurance Company of Wisconsin, and George E. Meredith of New Jersey Manufacturers' Casualty Insurance Company. The lung cancer session was chaired by Dr. C. P. Rhoads, with Dr. W. C. Hueper giving a general review and Dr. E. R. A. Merewether of the British factory inspectorate leading the discussion; the cancer talks continued that afternoon. The last two days dealt with workmen's compensation. A transcript of the September 24 session is published separately as the Seventh Saranac Symposium session on pneumoconiosis and pulmonary cancer.
