Abstract
Herbert S. Carlin, M.S., D.Sc., who had pharmacy students go on patient rounds in the 1960s and traveled the country advocating repeal of antisubstitution laws in the 1970s, died March 4 after an extended illness. He was 78 years old. Carlin served as president of two of the country’s national pharmacist associations: ASHP, in 1970–71, and the American Pharmaceutical Association (APhA) in 1984–5. For 25 years, he chaired the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) committee that develops policies on drug nomenclature and considers the patient safety issues of product labeling. His work in the pharmaceutical industry helped to make possible an annual free softbound collection of ASHP practice standards. Carlin received some of the pharmacy profession’s top accolades: the Harvey A. K. Whitney Lecture Award, hospital pharmacy’s highest honor; the Hugo H. Schaefer Award, for outstanding voluntary contributions to society, the profession, and APhA; and the Beal Award for Distinguished Volunteer Service, from USP.
