Physiology Council of Iowa State University.

The Physiology Council of Iowa State University was formed in the 1970s to help coordinate the teaching and research efforts in the physiological sciences at Iowa State University. Originally an informal council of concerned faculty members, the Council formalized its organization through the creation of a constitution in 1976. Membership was open to professors and other qualified professionals engaged in the physiological sciences. The Council was governed by an Advisory Council consisting of seven members.

By 1980, the Physiology Council was sponsoring several mini-symposia throughout the year. These consisted of an invited keynote speaker and three presentations on work being done at Iowa State. The council became inactive in 1984, but was brought back in 1991 by a group of faculty who recognized the benefits of the Council. These faculty members, Richard Engen, Stephen Ford, Murray Kaplan, Donald Beitz, Charles Drewes, and Rick Sharp, formed an ad hoc Advisory Committee in an effort to revive the Council.
