tions of learning- for we have the example of unstinted aid, labor 

 without thought of material grain and continuous devotion through 

 many years of men like Ewen Alclntyre and many others who have 

 passed into the great Beyond. This school is their monument, telling 

 of the successful culmination of their efforts to place pharmacy in 

 the ranks with other professions.

WALTER REGNAULT 



DIED FEBRUARY 8th, 1913. 



Walter Regnault, Ph. C. '10, Phar. D. '11, who represented a type of 

 youth which the world never tires of and seldom sees, died very suddenly on 

 Saturday, February 8th, 1913, from heart-failure. 



He succumbed at his parent's home at Alexander Avenue and 134th Street, 

 Bronx, in his 22nd year of life. 



From his earliest years, he had devoted himself to studying and only those 

 who studied with him can fully appreciate the brilliancy of his mind, his 

 capability of absorbing and applying knowledge. 



Walter Regnault was born December 7th, 1891, the son of Otto Regnault 

 who for many years has been an active pharmacist. Walter was also the 

 grandson of Mr. Sellheim, formerly a member of the old and well-known firm 

 of Becker & Sellheim. 



After completing primary school, Walter entered Morris High School. 

 There he left an unsurpassed record; his average standing in the four years 

 work was over 94%. In 1908, he entered the Columbia University College of 

 Pharmacy. At the very outset he won the Scholarship given by the Manhattan 

 Pharmaceutical Society for his entire college course. At the close of the 

 Junior year, he received the first prize of the Alumni Association. When 

 graduating, he headed the Honor Roll of his class with the exceptionally high 

 percentage of 95. He also won the Alumni Gold Medal, one of the $100 

 Trustee's Prizes and at the end of his University course, he received the Kappa 

 Psi Medal and the $200 Breitenbach Prize for the highest standing in the entire 

 course. At the close of his Post-Graduate course. Dr. Regnault was awarded 

 the Faculty Post Graduate prize for original work. This prize consisted of 

 an analytical balance. 



When Professor Coblentz took charge of Squibb's laboratory, he recognized 

 Dr. Regnault's abilities and took him along as his assistant. 



Dr. Regnault was an enthusiastic member of the Alumni Association. 

 He attended meetings faithfully and took part in all discussions. In 1911, he 

 was elected 3rd Vice-President and in 1912, 2nd Vice-President. He was a 

 good writer and several of his articles have appeared in the Alumni Journal. 



All who knew him do most sincerely and deeply deplore his untimely death. 

 He was a most devoted son, a loving brother, a sincere friend. His tutors and 

 professors loved him for his kindly disposition and his brilliancy of mind. It 

 was a pleasure to instruct him. 



Peace to his Ashes.
