Fischer attended the University of Strasbourg in 1872, and earned a doctorate in chemistry with his study of phenolphthalein under Professor Adolf von Baeyer. He was a 1902 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, as well as many other awards. Fischer was born in Euskirchen, Germany

He also appears to have been a goldsmith member enrolled in the Strasbourg militia. In 1437, there is evidence that he was instructing a wealthy tradesman on polishing gems, but where he had acquired this knowledge is unknown. In 1436/37 his name also comes up in court in connection with a broken promise of marriage to a woman from Strasbourg, Ennelin. Whether the marriage actually took place is not recorded. Following his father's death in 1419, he is

He completed his doctorate in law but then came to study Greek and Latin and the University of Paris. Calvin's life then took a new direction that he refers to as a "sudden conversion". He writes about his experience in the introduction to his Commentary on the Psalms written in 1557: "Since I was more stubbornly addicted to the

ties with the bishop and his noble family, Calvin’s classmates in Noyon were aristocratic and culturally influential in his childhood. At the age of fourteen, Calvin set off for Paris to study at the College de Marche. This helped him prepare for university study. At the College de Marche, he studied seven subjects: grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music. Towards the end of 1523, Calvin left College de Marche, and headed for the more well-known College Montaigu. While
remains in obscurity, it is apparent that he joined the Benedictine Monastery of St. Peter’s of the Black Forest sometime before 1520. It is unlikely that Sattler received a significant education since St. Peter’s did not send its monks to study at universities until 1551. However, evidence shows that Sattler was in fact learned in Latin, Hebrew, and possibly Greek. Numerous sources identify the converted Sattler as an ex-prior. Therefore, it is assumed that Sattler became the prior of St. Peter’s sometime
In his essay “Protecting Freedom of Expression on the Campus” Derek Bok, wrote about an incident at Harvard University where two students displayed the Confederate flag and to retaliate another student displayed a swastika. This started a discussion at the University of whether to prohibit such forms of expression. Bok claims that freedom of speech on campuses should be valued above the protection of a student’s feelings. In addition, he argued that censorship will not resolve this issue; only
Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen Many people think of heroes and think of them as characters who help and save lives. Yes, that is a correct and simple definition of what a hero is. In a fictional world heroes use their special super powers to save and protect lives from alien invasion trying to conquer planet Earth. Medical professionals are no different in the sense that they too help in protecting and saving lives. They use their special powers to fight off alien microorganisms trying to invade your body

Sometime later, he would invent a hydrostatic balance, a tool that made him respected amongst the prominent mathematicians and scientists in Pisa and Italy. Because of this, he would gain a teaching position at the University of Pisa in 1589, despite Galileo having no degree. In 1592, he would move to the University of Padua

He began teaching chemistry at the University of Strasbourg, where he met his wife, Marie Laurent, who shared Pasteur’s interest in science. Marie and Pasteur married in 1849 and had five children, two of which survived to adulthood. Pasteur eventually went on to instruct chemistry and became dean of the school of science at the University of Lille. While Pasteur was at Lille, a local distiller sought help controlling the fermentation

Shortly after beginning his musical studies in Paris, however, he changed his mind and decided to become a pastor like his father.2 He attended Strasbourg University in France.3 During his first years as a pastor, Schweitzer wrote his first two books -- one on religion and one a biography of Johan Sebastian Bach. The books made Schweitzer world-famous by the time he was thirty-one4 and he was in high demand

Tesla left the University of Prague in 1880, without a degree, after his father died. He then worked for a short time for Austria-Hungary's telephone system in Budapest (now in Hungary).

He was appointed preparateur, which means he is responsible for preparing the technical equipment and machinery needed in lecture used in lecture demonstrations, to the General Chemistry chair at the University of Strasbourg. After some time he left and took a job that was very similar. He took this position at the College de France with Antoine-Jerome Balard, which is the person who discovered Bromine. He moved to Paris to work in the laboratory with Charles
