Fellow scientists, former students, and friends of Henry B. Bigelow, professor of Zoology, yesterday celebrated the famed marine biologist's 50 years of work in his field with a reception at the Museum of Comparative Zoology.
Those honoring Bigelow presented him with a special volume of scientific papers written for the occasion, describing current research in the study of the sea and its life forms.
