AN OPEN LETTER OF CONGRATULATIONS TO THE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY AND TO OUR VERY DEAR FRIEND, PROFESSOR ABRAHAM TAUB Dear Abe: When we left the Hotel Statler-Hilton last night after attending the Annual Alumni Award Dinner-Dance, at which over six hundred of us came to pay tribute to Dr. Samuel Dreyer and to you - the 1 Q62 recipients of the Henry Hurd Rusby Awards — we were doubly proud of our close association with you and with the Columbia College of Pharmacy.

President McDonnell made the statement last night: We have so many plans for our College of Pharmacy that will make it the best. ' Well, it is the best and must have been so for many years back when it had the wisdom and the good judgment to appoint you, Abe, to its faculty forty years ago; when it gave you the warmth, the understanding, the friendship and the many opportunities, not only of teaching but of experimenting and researching, as well as the opportunity of expressing yourself orally and in writing; all of which helped to build up for you a reputation as an outstanding specialist and consultant in the field of Phar- maceutical Chemistry. Indirectly, this has paid off well for Columbia for. without this means of augmenting your salary, you could never have embarked on so ambitious a goal to leave to the School one million dollars! This took hard work, both in School as a Professor and outside of School as a Consultant. It took many
