Dr. '''Van Murray Sim''' was chief of the medical research division of the U.S. Army biomedical laboratory at Edgewood Arsenal.

== Vice article ==

"The man who had established the Medical Research Volunteer Program was an internist named Van Murray Sim, a former football player who made a point of trying drugs before they were tested on soldiers (he received the Army's highest civilian award, in part “for volunteering to be the first to expose himself to several new chemical agents at the risk of grave personal injury”), but he also liked to slip people drugs without telling them. It happened to Ketchum once while they were playing tennis — nothing like a little acid with your morning coffee — and later to an entire cocktail party. Sim really outdid himself when he contaminated the entire base's water supply with LSD, though."
