ferewcrd In this, the 1933 ALEMBIC PHARMAKON, we have attempted to render the activities of our Class in a permanent and attractive form. Yet it does not pretend to be either a record of achieve- ment, or a compilation of facts. Such a book cannot hope to recapture those mo- ments so precious to each individual, for they are unique and inimitable. Unpretentious and incom- plete as it may be, it does, however, strive to pre- serve for the future those phases in which we have participated as a group. If it can revivify those things which ought to be lasting, if it can keep alive the really significant events and the memor- able associations, then no more is sought; it has fulfilled its purpose. It was Carlyle who said: “The good of a book is not in the facts that can be got out of it, but in the resonance it awakens in our own minds. A book may strike out of us a thousand things; it may make us know a thousand things it does not itself know.”
