George P. Larrick (November 19, 1901August 13, 1968) was Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from 19541965. ==Early life== George P. Larrick was born on November 19, 1901 in Springfield, Ohio. He worked his way through two years at Wittenberg College from 19191921, and then took a pre-medical course at Ohio State University from 19211923.〔 In 1923, he accepted a "temporary job" as a food and drug inspector in Cincinnati, Ohio.〔 Fascinated with the work, he abandoned his medical aspirations, and successfully passed the competitive Civil Service examination for a permanent appointment.〔 By 1930, he had been appointed senior food and drug inspector.〔 In 1937, he was responsible for dispatching very nearly the entire field force of the FDA to track down remnants of the poisonous Elixir Sulfanilamide which killed 109 people, and which highlighted the need for pre-market testing of new drugs.〔 Larrick was also responsible for assembling an exhibit, dubbed by reporters, "The Chamber of Horrors," which effectively documented the need for a new federal food and drugs act. In 1939, following enactment of the new Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (1938), he was appointed Chief Inspector of the FDA.〔 In addition to directing FDA investigations, he served as acting director of the Drug Division for a time, and early during World War II, assisted in the organization of the Procurement and Assignment Service of the Office of Defense, Health and Welfare Services.〔
