The initial American College of Theriogenologists organizing committee consisted of:
Drs. David Bartlett, C.J. Bierschwal Jr., Lloyd C. Faulkner, John Kendrick, Fayne Oberst, Stephen J. Roberts, Raimunds Zemjanis.

Initial members considered names for the new College. To develop a name for the College, Professor Herbert Howe, Department of Classics, University of Wisconsin was consulted. After much consideration Theriogenology was chosen; therio(=beast or animal) + gen/genesis (=beginning, birth, reproduction)+ology (=study of)
