Text from Pages 1 - 158 of the 1973 volume:

Prologue: College? Oh, I don't know. I mean I wouldn't say I got five years of knowledge out of five years of college .. . but I guess I learned enough ... I mean, I hope so. Yeah, that's about it .. . I guess college has been learning enough to make it . .. Well, maybe not all, I mean there must be more; there must be. 3 'sY.'tS.', . fill 4 When the morning first found us in our separate solitudes, not knowing where or when or how or who the other of us was, the infancy of our new experience found us more shy than eager to recognize our common situation. s Then there were the others, all of us encapsulated within common walls with common plights rising under the same sun walking home through the same rain all of us belonging yet not belonging and through it all sharing, taking, wanting, giving, living apart, together .. . the same, yet unique having, each of us, our separate goals, yet arriving at the same endpoint. ; d§SB m. . v'-v': iM -y. ■ -■• z ■ So I guess the people had a lot to do with it. But even so, there was something more there. I mean, it was like we all understood that this was it. Here we were — for the next five years — and whether we fit in or not. somehow in the end, it was all supposed to make sense. Sometimes, when the clamor died down and we had a chance to look behind us, at what we had left of ourselves, instead of looking dismally to tomorrow, we’d catch the slightest glimpse at what we were becoming. And ... sometimes we even understood the reason behind the reason, and so found some room to grow. Maybe that's what it’s supposed to be. I remember one night, on the way home, thinking how urgent the situation really was how there really was a lot to this place, and the experi- ences in and around it. Before that, it had never occured to me that, in spite of overhead projectors and mumbled mes- sages over garbling P. A.’s. in spite of bare backs to the class, and chalk talk, and buried heads, and boring lectures repeat- ed annually for five years, and in spite of test trivia, we were going to make it. Why? How? I wasn’t sure, but we were. And I just had to tell you that it was so frustration or not . . this is really it. and one way or another, it would always be this way because it has to .. because it's like anything else. It's like growing. There's good and bad in everything . nothing would be worth anything if there weren't. Maybe that's what it's supposed to be. IV Sitting there, and looking around, the contrast appeared almost comical the clowns and the serious-minded the curious and the dull, each different, each alike. You would have thought me crazy had I said there was a reason behind it all. Maybe, had I said it then. I would have thought so too 14 15 “I don't know; maybe if you could buy the idea of an infinite plan, I mean, sort of a philosophy that everything serves a purpose . . . happens for a reason . . . maybe it would be easier.” V. Mother once told me, when I was old enough to remember, buttoo youngto understand, that everything happens for the best. Then, it meant that Uncle Harry's dying was, in some way that I couldn’t understand a blessing. Now, all it means is that there is really no sense in praying for sunshine. '‘And that’s pretty much the way it was. Days came; days went ... some too fast, some not fast enough. And with the days coming and going, it was pretty easy to miss the significance of what was happening. But something was ... to all of us. 19 VI. After the passing of time, the making of each of us nearing more near completion, we found the tools of the builder to be of little suspect then, but recognized much surer now. Did we enjoy the lessons of loss or bask in the comforts of defeat? Or learn to like the frustration, reveling in the bad times and not waiting for the good times? Hardly If only we had, then ... maybe that's what we needed to learn to grow. VII. So. before we take our place, let each of us remember all that came to us here. The sorrows and joys. the triumphs and defeats, the frustrations and fulfillment, the fortunes of gain, the sufferings of loss. All that we have done and experienced cannot be forgotten, discarded or disregarded. The value of sorrow is even as great as the value of joy. A tear has the worth of a smile — they both are bought with learning — and learning is the earnings of growth, and growth is the wages of the ages. 23 VIII. Time, it is a precious thing. Time brings all things to your mind. Time, with all its labors, its sorrows and its joys, and it's time brings all things to an end. (from a traditional English folk ballad) 24 All of it together is called growth. Go ahead, take a look. tds So, just look back yourself, over the past years; remem- ber when it started and remember yourself then. Recall the ups and downs, the ins and outs ... of col- lege .. and what it has real- ly been. Remember it all, and when you're through, sit back. Maybe then you'll answer all the why's of five years. « 1 Walter Singer Dean 28 30 Benjamin F. Norris Medical Technology 31 Lillian R. Insel Librarian Lorraine Dye Pharmacy Egbert K.

THE DEAN’S MESSAGE To the Class of 1973: At the commencement exercises each of you will pass in front of me while crossing the stage on the way to re- ceive a diploma. Having been through the experience before, I know what my reaction will be at that time. As I call out your name and look into your eyes many of the contacts we have had vis- a-vis Dean or Professor and Student will flash through my mind. Then, es- pecially sensitized by the heightened emotionalism engendered by the im- pact of the traditional ceremony, I will perceive you most vividly as a person, as an individual — not as a student, not as a pharmacist. And I’ll wonder what we at the College have contribut- ed toward making you the person you are now. You cannot be the same as you were when you entered ACP. We must have changed you, just as surely as you have changed us. And I'll hope that you will have received from ACP the motivation to continue to mature and to be the considerate, thoughtful, concerned and involved person that you ought to be as a college-educated leader in our world. I wish you personal and professional success and happiness. Walter Singer, Dean 102 Alan Beck Barbara Sullivan 103 wmmm M:: : ■ •w.

' To the reader: There is at this point little left to say. We’ve looked back over what at times seemed to be an eternity of five years. But, we believe that it didn’t begin just five years ago; nor will it end here. At the inception of the Alembic Pharmakon ’73, our main concern was to make this book more than a chronicle — more than a record that some five-hundred-plus people merely came and went each day to justify the existence of this institution, and more especially, this book. Rather, we hoped to express what we have felt to be the value, the lesson, behind five years of contact with the Albany College of Pharmacy .. . not only the curriculum, the “schooling , but all that has contributed to our growth. Hopefully, we have done that. Undoubtedly, some of you will look upon our efforts as a cop-out ... a reasonless homage to the idea of adherence to the norm — the faculty knows best; the administration is unquestionable. Others of you, hopefully, have questioned our assertions and your posi- tions, and have discovered what we have discovered — that the frustrations, as well as the fulfillments, have been our real education. It may have not gone unnoticed that there is no dedication in this book. It is our feeling that those to whom this yearbook should be dedicated are justly rewarded by our discover- ies over the past five years. The fact that we have recognized our growth and the contribu- tions toward our development, we believe, is a far better reward to those who have given to us, than a mere dedication could achieve. Personally, I would as editor, like to thank the members of the staff — Susan Charron, Jo- seph Forno, and Faith Gibson. This yearbook is very much a part of all of us. We only hope that you have found as much pleasure in this effort, as we have found in creating it. Tim Suenram, Editor in Chief We are changing, The world is changingalso, How much a part of it Have we made ourselves? Is it worth denying many Aspects of ourselves to Concentrate on one devotion? There are other worlds, other Times, other places, How much a part of these Will we become? Will we someday be able to Just find a part in it all? Is the stage that easy to join? Can we help if we don’t have Time to understand? Will we even want to? But then, there are people. We are people too Yes, people are worth it, I think.

That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains, everywhere, and that the pre- sent only exists for it, not the shadow of the past, nor the shadow of the future?” “That is it,” said Siddhartha, and when I learned that, I reviewed my life and it was also a river, and Sid- dhartha the boy, Siddhartha the mature man and Siddhartha the old man, were only separated by shad- ows, not through reality.” — Hermann Hesse, 1922 154 This page sponsored by Lincoln Pharmacy and Leben Pharmacy.

I guess what really mattered, what I finally learned, is that there will always be things greater, and always things smaller ... always things more creative and less creative ... and in growing between these things we learn humility „ in our insignificance but pride in our minute contributions. And therein lies the beauty that each of us has, the beauty of singleness and that that singleness is what makes me, me and you,you and you and I help each other grow, tds
