RICHARD WRENSHALL, Chemist. Preparation of the palliative for “the oldest 
disease in the world”- the chaulmoogra oil derivatives for the treatment of 
leprosy- has occupied much of the attention of Richard Wrenshall for the past 
five years while he has been professor of chemistry at the University of 
Hawaii.
  Born at Edgeworth, Pa., on May 30, 1889, he is the son of Richard Cowan and 
Myra (McCleery) Wrenshall. He obtained his Ph.B. degree in 1911 from Yale, 
which also granted his Ph.D. in 1915.
  Professor Wrenshall arrived in Hawaii in June, 1919, to become head of the 
department of organic chemistry of the University of Hawaii, then the College 
of Hawaii. He still holds that chair and also has acted as chemist for the 
United States Public Health Service since 1923. He is a major in the Ordnance 
Reserve Corps, U.S.A., and a member of the Elks.
