ALEMBIC-CIDAPMAKQN HE Class of 1924 takes pleasure in presenting to all who are interested in the Albany College of Pharmacy, this volume,-the ALEM HIC-IIJAPMAKON. The Board of Editors have sought in this publication to unite the past with the present, even in the name of the book. So we have taken one part of the name from the year-books of the past and the other from the name chosen by the Class of 1923. Thus do we attempt to mould together the traditions and pre- cedents of the past with the modernness and the spirit of advance as evidenced in the present. A Alembic,-the name from the past. No better definition of this term could be obtained than that which Dean Tucker once gave. To him must be given the credit for such an adaptable expression of an ideal. Among the fanciful conceits of the alchemists which have survived in our latter-day scientific terminology was this,-that the volatile part evolved, as by heat, from material substances, was the essence or spirit of such substance. 'All bodies,' says Bacon, 'have spirits and pneumatical parts within them., Such terms as ' spirit of wine ' survive, and it was in reforts or alembics that the separa- tion of the ethereal part was affected. The vessel is obsolete, but the name 'alembic' remains, and it has passed into literature typifying that which refines and frees the rarer and essential from the grosser and material substance. And so we think the name chosen for this publication to he suggestive of the true aim of all education, which is the separation of the higher from the lower, the exaltation of the spirit, and a refining that is real and substantial, and not specious or delusive like an external polish, which being superficial, merely may deceive for a time, but cannot endure. QDAPMAKON,-the name from the present. This word comes from the Greek-meaning drug, medicine, potion or charm. Hence the suitability of the word to this, our profession. Soon, we of the Class of 1924 will be out in the World doing our part in the standard-carrying of our profession. May we, as did the Greeks of old, from whom we have chosen a name, seek ever to excel and to become greater successes in our daily lives, through the conscientious pur- suit of knowledge and the 'treatment we accord our fellow men. May these two words, giving name to our book, ever remind us of our duties as pharmacists, and of the friends we made while here at our Alma lXlafer. Twelve .J
