Paris, 1877. Who was the Professor?
December 25, 2014 6:40 PM   Subscribe

I'm in the midst of a research project, and my subject (a first-year medical student in Paris in 1877) mentions taking "...Prof. Frény’s course at the Museum, where I got the honor to be received by him in his laboratory." The student was also taking classes at the Sorbonne at the time. Help me figure out who Prof. Frény was, and which museum is referenced. (And yes, I've already tried Google...) Merci beaucoup!

Best answer: Edmond Fremy, chair of the chemistry department at the French National Museum of Natural History? That's in Paris.

Here's the page in English.
