      A class of algebras of a given type is called a quasivariety if it is closed under subalgebras, products and isomorphisms. The question whether each quasivariety of finitary algebras has a presentation by a set (not a proper class) of implications is proved to be equivalent with the set- theoretical statement known as Vopěnka's principle.
