Would there be a need for immunotherapy if the disease could be treated with a simple antihistamine pill? Part of the reason for creating the College was to establish a place where ideas and research could be shared, both at the Annual Scientific Meeting and in Annals.

As scientific research advanced, so too did the treatment of allergies and asthma. New breakthroughs meant that allergists were no longer just prescribing things like Plimasin an antihistamine combined with Ritalin to offset sedation for allergies.

Asthma treatment advanced beyond simply treating attacks with subcutaneous epinephrine and a dose of Susphrine. Although not often used anymore because of side effects, they did pave the way for modern, inhalable steroids.
