He put it in 1876 in Bonn at Hermann Usener, 1878 in Berlin under Theodor Mommsen and 1879 in Greifswald with Ulrich von Wilamowitz - Moellendorff continued.

His memberships at the academies of Berlin, Heidelberg, Munich, Vienna, Strasbourg, Petersburg, Copenhagen, Budapest and Stockholm are an expression of his scientific reputation. The University of Rostock appointed him on the occasion of its fourth centenary (1919) an honorary member. Full member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences since 1919, he was the learned association from 1927 to 1930 serving as the president. In 1928 he was public supporter of the nationalist -minded, anti -Semitic struggle League for German Culture. For the Nazis, he had no sympathy as a Conservative. In 1936 the members of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences elected him again for president, but the Reich Education Minister Bernhard Rust appointed in his place to not proposed Nazis Karl Alexander von Müller.
