It is thus with a sense of duty done and a knowledge that the class of ’27 of the Albany College of Pharmacy has taken a long step forward that we close. ALEMBIC PHARMAK.ON As slozv, our ship her foamy track Against the wind was clearing; Her trembling pennant still looked back To that dear isle 'twas leaving. Gordon C.

 At this time we wish to extend our sincere thanks to the Faculty who have imbued us with a spirit to seek for greater things in the age old art of phar- macy. They have inspired us and contributed to our advancement in this world. Invaluable assistance has been rendered and we realize that much of our success in later life will be due to their unceasing efforts in our behalf. We might compare the college to a shrine to which we journey bringing our best in mental effort and in return being given knowledge, inspiration, encour- agement, and the companionship of fellow pilgrims. Truly, the order changeth yielding place to the new, our Alma Mater is to be given a new housing. A modern institution will now embrace the entering class. We have been signally honored by Fate who has selected us as the last class to graduate from the antiquated yet ««stately structure. It has served its purpose and must pass on as we all must. Ever our thoughts shall return to the lecture hall, recitation rooms, laboratories, and staircase. Pleasant memories will remind us of the happy days spent in the old school on the hill. Following last year’s class as leaders and gaining experience thereby, one can feel that this class is prepared to fill, to the best of their ability, the places allotted them by Fate. To the class of ’28 we entrust the traditions of a beloved Alma Mater. May you reverence and cherish them as have we and may your efforts in the future be crowned with some measure of the success that has attended us— “ To you from falling hands, we throw The torch, be yours to hold it high.” —and now, scarcely realizing that our college career has ended, we must begin a new era, a new period, leaving the school where we have studied, which we have enjoyed and loved. We hope we have maintained the excellent reputation of the school that we may leave behind us a record to be envied, that we may be remembered as a class with no blot on our history. It might be remarked that tempus fugit. This may not seem so, and the goal may appear far distant; but nevertheless, it has been attained by honest effort. After long weary months, as a matter of course, June, the month of months rolls around in its turn. An annual event, but it has acquired a new and greater significance to many each year. As the last year draws to a close, life seems a bit more serious. Work ahead and work behind—else no progress. There’s much to be done, but it is with a tinge of sadness that we come to the parting of the ways, when we leave the halls of our Alma Mater and its noble citizenry, the Faculty. Henceforth we must strike for ourselves. The burden of responsibility for our individual action rests upon us. Our traits will be revealed. Thirty-two
