How USCAP (the United States/Canadian Academy of Pathology) got its name. A real just so story
1SA Pathology, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.
Abstract:
From 1907 till September 1986, the precursors of the United States/Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP), the International Association of Medical Museums (IAMM) and the US/Canadian Division of the International Academy of Pathology were not incorporated. Members of unincorporated bodies are personally liable for any debts incurred by such organisations. By a set of curious chances, this shortcoming was brought to the attention of the then Secretary of the US/Canadian Division, Nathan Kaufman, who was warned by lawyers that the Division should be incorporated. To avoid confusion with the International Academy of Pathology, which had been incorporated in 1955, the lawyers advised that the Division be renamed the "United States/Canadian Academy of Pathology" (USCAP) to avoid any legal confusion with the International Academy of Pathology. Incorporation occurred in 1986 and members were relieved of their unwitting exposure to all USCAP debts.
