Abstract
DR. HEINRICH BECKURTS, who resigned the chair of pharmaceutical and food-stuffs chemistry at the Technisehe Hochschule at Brunswick in 1925, died suddenly on Sept. 15 at Bartgeheide, near Hamburg. From the Chemiker-Zeitung we learn that Prof. Beckurts was born at Brunswick in 1855. He graduated at Jena, and in 1877 was appointed an assistant at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at Brunswick, where in 1885 he was elected to the newly founded chair, which he retained for forty years. At the same time his former chief, Dr. Robert Otto, who had been professor of general and pharmaceutical chemistry, remained as director of the laboratories. On the retirement of Otto in 1899, Beckurts became director of the pharmaceutical chemical institute, and shortly afterwards the title of Geheimer Medizinalrat was conferred upon him. This title he held until his death.
