WILLIAM ROSENBAUM When the death of Bill Rosenbaum was made known to VVashington students, the sorrow of those who were fortunate enough to have been his friends was great. Not that the number of Rosie's', friends was fewg on the contrary no one ever made friends more easily or endeared himself to them more easily than he. He was one whose ability to smile never left him, and it was this cheerfulness and the sincerity behind it which made his going the more difficult to accept. lVIore than a cheerful, friendly person, Bill was an outstanding man in activities of many kinds. His achievements in swimming, and the honors which came to him for his work upon the campus show the real character of the man. In memory of him, and in honor of his outstanding work as a Washington student, the 1936 Hatchet dedicates this page.

Zin jllllemuriamg DR. GASTON DOUAY Dr. Gaston Douay was one of the most beloved members of the faculty and it was a severe shock to everyone to hear of his death on Oct. 31, 1934 at the age of sixty-seven. Dr. Douay was born at Lezanne, France in 1867 and was educated abroad. He came to Wlashington University in 1887 as the first instructor in French in the sch00l's history. The department expanded and Dr. Douay was named head of it in 1897. ln 1901 he became an Associate Professor and a full Professor in 1904. He held a Master of Arts Degree from 'Washington and was very active in the Alliance Francais of St. Louis for many years. Dr. Douay has left a memory which will ever endear him to the hearts of all who knew him and his splendid life will always remain a memorial to Vlfashington for the fine effects of his connections with the school. C'est tout. DR. GABRIEL FERRAND The School of Architecture suffered a great loss by the death of Professor Gabriel Ferrand. Professcr Ferrand was born in Toulouse, France and studied architecture there and in Paris. He came to the United States in 1908 to become connected with the faculty of Carnegie Institute of Technology as Assistant Professor of design. He was appointed to the Wlashington University faculty in 1914 but obtained a leave of absence to join the French Army. In 1916 he returned and was placed in charge of the Washington University School of Architecture. He was made a Che- valier ofthe Legion of Honor by the President of the French Republic in 1931 and held a degree of Architecte Diplome du Government Francais. During Professor Ferrand's administration, the attendance of the School of Architecture was 'increased from 33 to 104 students and its scholastic standards were greatly raised. The School of Architecture and the University mourn the passing of Dr. Ferrand. He will always be remembered as a significant figure in the development of 'Wash- ington University.
