Extract

Emil Fischer—the distinguished chemist—was born at Euskirchen on October 9, 1852. He was educated at the Bonn Gymnasium and afterwards at the Universities of Bonn and Strassburg. After occupying the Chairs of Chemistry at Munich, Erlangen, and Würzburg, he finally settled in Berlin where the greater part of his far-reaching work in chemistry was done. He received the Davy Medal in 1890 from the Royal Society of London, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1902.
