[New research on the short affections of professor Heckel (1843-1916) at the newly created superior school of pharmacy in Nancy, between 1873 and 1876].
When the school of pharmacy was transferred from Strasbourg to Nancy in 1872, the chair of natural history was unoccupied and it remained initially in this position. First, the professor of faculty of medicine was designed to teach, but the importance of a pharmacist appeared rapidly. Edouard Marie Heckel, then temporary fellow at the school of Montpellier, was chosen and appointed in March 1873. We do not know for 1874, but he came again in 1875, and became professor. But hardly nominated, he went to Grenoble... During these years, he participated actively in university and pharmaceutical activities, and he begun with professor Schlagdenhauffen a durable and fruitful scientific collaboration. The presence in Nancy of professor Heckel shows some of the qualities that explain his splendid university career some years later in Marseille, and give an example of the difficulties initially encountered by the school of pharmacy of Nancy.
