Abstract
S OON, few chemists will be left who have passed S the age limit. Already, during this year, three of my oldest friends, all distinguished chemists, have ceased to be. Hermann Wickelhaus, who was my fellow-student at the Royal College of Chemistry, Oxford Street, under Frankland in 1866; Carl Graebe, who was privat docent and worked at a bench close to mine in the old laboratory in Leipzig in 1868; Ira Remsen, the American, who went to Germany when I did, whom I did not meet, however, until after the Johns Hopkins University was established. The first was concerned with Darmstaedter, in 1869, in introducing the soda-melt into the naphthol industry; the second stands for quinone and artificial alizarin; the third for saccharin: all very notable connexions.
