‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE DE LA THESE ès Sciences physiques présentée par J. RAULIN ---- "Raulin was a pupil of Pasteur at the Ecole Normale Supérieure where he first began to study the mineral nutrition of plants. He continued this work at the Lycées of Brest and Caen, then returned to the Ecole Normale Supérieure as assistant director of Pasteur's laboratory... The chief value of Raulin's experiment lay in his establishment, by trial-and-error methods, of the importance of each of the nutrients in his mixture, especially the minerals... Raulin published the results of his experiments as Etudes chimiques sur la végétation for which he received the Doctorat ès sciences. Pasteur himself was enthusiastic about Raulin's work and in 1868 wrote to him that his researches had opened completely new horizons in plant research". (DSB XI p. 310)**4390/A7DE-4389/A5AR‎
