On the evening- of May third, at the Drug and Chemical Club, one hundred and sixty-three friends and admirers of Clarence O. Bigelow, treasurer of the College of Pharmacy of Co]uml:)ia Uni- versity, gathered to do him honor and to celebrate with him the fiftieth an- niversary of his en- trance into the calling which he has so enriched and adorned.
