But there is no question that in the Societe chimique Wurtz had helped to create an important new organization with many allies in leadership positions, and an editorial platform from which to broadcast his views. No fewer than nine students of Wurtz became presidents of the Societe chimique - Philippe de Clermont, Charles Friedel (three times), Auguste Scheurer-Kestner, Edmond Willm, Armand Gautier (three times), Edouard Grimaux (three times), Joseph LeBel, Maurice Hanriot (twice) and Alphonse Combes and the society s editorial board was generally packed with members of his circle." ... 

While Wurtz only used the periodic classification in the service of the atomic theory, his former students and disciples were the first to utilize it for chemistry teaching. Edouard Grimaux (1835-1900), Armand Gautier (1837-1920), Edmond Willm (1833-1910) and Maurice Hanriot (1854-1933), who supported Wurtz s atomic views, made all possible efforts in the 1880s to introduce it in the French educational system, both in high schools and universities. Even more than Wurtz, Grimaux emphasized the relation of mutual reinforcement between the atomic theory and the periodic classification.
