Alfred Aubert served the University of Maine as professor of chemistry from 1874–1909. He retired from the university in 1909, three years before his death. A commemorative service held in the University Chapel on campus included a tribute from close friend and professor Allen Rogers: “For 35 years he gave the university his best endeavors, and has left upon it the impress of a personality which merits high commendation. He was a man of scholarly attainments and most genial temperament. He possessed in an unusual degree the respect and love of his students, and the friendship of his associates on the faculty.”
