Such associations were known as collegia in the Roman Empire and in the Byzantine Empire that followed. A 10th century A. D. compilation known as the Book of the Prefect has a detailed account of guild organization in Constantinople. It indi¬cates that Byzantine guilds were so strictly regu¬lated by the state that they were virtual organs of the bureaucracy.
A new organization, the World Federation of Public Health Associations, was formed in Ge¬neva, Switz. The function of this agency was to speed the exchange of information between countries and to complement the WHO by pro¬viding more informal channels of communi¬cation and the additional stimulus of enthusiasm from voluntary public health associations.

No one will deny its right to a fair return on its investment to meet the nation's health needs. On the other hand, however, the pharmaceutical industry's right to reap rich rewards from the care of the sick will be subject to continuing challenge.
