Gilman took over as chairman in 1981. As a research scientist, Dr. Goth was well-known for his studies on the mechanisms of histamine release. He was principal author of the well-known textbook "Medical Pharmacology: Principles and Concepts," through eleven editions from 1961 to 1984. After he handed over the editorship, the book was known as "Goth's Medical Pharmacology" in its twelfth and thirteenth editions in 1988 and 1992. Dr. Goth was also renowned at UT Southwestern as a teacher. This photo also appeared in the 1963 medical school yearbook, "Iatros."
