UNION UNIVERSITY To the Class of 1970: As you receive your Alembic Pharmakon 1970 in May, the last month of your course of study at this college, your attention will be focused on the future, not the past. You will be looking ahead past the final examinations to graduation, to licensing examina- tions, to marriage, to professional practice. If you speak at all of the college, it will proba- bly be to express your delight at getting out. You will hastily thumb through this book to see how your own pictures and those of your classmates turned out. You will read little of the prose and poetry herein. This page will get a cursory glance at best; after all, you have already had many messages” from me. Within a year or two after graduation many of you will be restless and wondering if you are on the right route through lire. Stirred by nostalgia, you may take a second, more thorough look at this book to see if you can discover why, after all this time, you now wish you were again in classes at ACP. My words that follow are directed to you at that future date. Come back. The vacation is over. Your motivation for study is stronger than it ever was because you now know how far you can go with what you have and you want to go farther, to do more. True professional progress will be possible only if you are willing to remain a student from now on. It is almost too late because there is already so much for you to learn and to relearn. The continued education curriculum at ACP is designed for you. As a mature, thoughtful, concerned individual you can make your second involvement with ACP an even better experience than your first. Come back. 20

Dedication What we will become, we are now becoming and it is the people we have been associated with here at college who have proved influential in our lives. Al- though we are now preoccupied with our thoughts and plans of the future each one of us can still recall vivid memories of someone who introduced us to the foundation of pharmacy. He has not only taught us about tinctures, pow- ders, and emulsions with the precision which is ex- pected of us but he has extended himself beyond lec- ture and lab, always welcoming opinions, thoughts, and students seeking advice. He is known to all for his sincere understanding of the students problems. We can now see how these admirable qualities have attributed to the success of him, to whom we dedicate our yearbook, Professor Gary D. Hall — pharmacist, professor, and friend. 19
