Foreword THE HAND—universally, a symbol for many things; individually, one of the most expressive human features. However, whether out in the world or at home, no man need feel alone as long as he courageously exists between the living warmth of the most abiding friends ever met: his just, skilled hands. Through the ages, the outstretched hand has be- come symbolic of friendship. Matthias Barr aptly expressed this idea when he said: “Come, give me your hand, sir, my friend and my brother: if honest, why sure that’s enough. One hand, if it’s true, is as good as another no matter how brawny or rough.” There are, too, the universal uniqueness and in- timacy of the loving, gentle care lavished entirely by human hands; the omnipresence of those hands endowed with authority and power; the ever- wielding iron hand of God. To all these, Albany College of Pharmacy students are subject in the forms of paternal, administrative, and spiritual hands. There is something most holy, most beautiful as hands—calloused with toil, soft with leisure, bloody with battle, white with youth—are envisioned in that singularly powerful attitude of prayer. The stu- dent body of Albany College of Pharmacy, repre- senting many faiths, can be captured in this most sincere pose each week as they worship in the Churches of their choice. The Old Testament says: “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.” Tools were made, born were hands: this each craftsman un- derstands. Thus, here at Albany College of Pharm- acy, each student is taught to train his living hands to employ the mobile and immobile tools of his prospective profession, Pharmacy. It is understood that each student’s hands—academic hands, busi- ness hands, research hands—ripple in the same waves of power, thrill to the same throbs of joyous action. Yet, it is required that each be individually guided by experienced hands—the ritualistic “im- position of hands,” so to speak—in order that each student here at Pharmacy may find his work, and do it with his might. We need the sympathizing heart with its pro- pensity for life, the comrade mind with its inclina- tion for understanding. Above all, we need the human hand with its ability to transmit the warmth —the living warmth—of love, friendship, authority, and livelihood. It is fitting and proper, therefore, that THE HAND serve as theme for the 1968 A lembic Pharmakon.
