Richard Anschutz (Darmstadt lo March 1852-8 January 1937) was professor in Bonn (1898-1922). He published much work in organic chemistry and edited publications by Couper and Loschmidt for Ostwald s Klassiker, His work on Kekule August Kekule, 2 vols., Berlin, 1929) has often been quoted in this volume. He synthesised anthracene (see p. 562), hydroxycou-marins, and hexaphenylethane. Anschutz was a warm admirer of Couper, and it is said that when he lectured to British prisoners of war in World War I, and was censured by the German authorities, he excused himself by saying There might be another Couper among them. He was made honorary Ll.D. of Aberdeen in 1906. 

In the early days of chemistry, especially organic chemistry, between roughly 1820 and 1895, academic genealogy was a way for proud professors (and proud former students) to show their common roots, their similar research interests and their influence upon the world of chemistry. This was a great period for organic and physical chemistry (1-7), when the students of Jons Jakob Berzelius, Friedrich Wohler, Friedrich Strohmeyer, Robert Bunsen, Justus von Liebig, Friedrich Kekule, August von Hoffman, and later of Adolph von Baeyer, Viktor Meyer, Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald, Otto Wallach and Hermann von Helmholtz were the leaders of the chemical (and physical in the case of Helmholtz) research and education world.
