OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF LORD FLOWERS Brian Hilton Flowers was born in Blackburn, Lancashire on 13 September 1924, although his family moved to Swansea, Wales in 1932. He attended Bishop Gore Grammar School, Swansea and was awarded a State Scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge to read mathematics. However, Flowers was then offered a State Bursary to take physics and electronics at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, in order to assist the war effort. This guaranteed him two years of study before call-up, rather than one. At Gonville and Caius Flowers won an Exhibition and graduated with a wartime His River, Ontario in 1945. degree after two years. In September 1944 he crossed the Atlantic to join the Anglo-Canadian Flowers returned to England in the summer of 1946 and began work at the Atomic Energy Research Physics Division at Harwell where he undertook work on nuclear reactions under M.H.L. Pryce. In of measuring the photodisintegration of the deuteron. In 1948 Flowers transferred to the Theoretical work during this period included measuring the thermal cross-section of tritium and devising a method Establishment, Harwell, where he joined O.R. Frisch’s group in the Nuclear Physics Division. 1950 Flowers was granted study leave to carry out research under R.E. Peierls at the Department of Atomic Energy Project in Canada, working initially at the University of Montreal until moving to Chalk Birmingham for a D.Sc. in 1953. problems of nuclear structure relating to the nuclear shell model, in collaboration with A.R. Edmonds. His work during this period was the basis of his successful submission to the University of Mathematical Physics, University of Birmingham. During the next two years he worked largely on B.H. Flowers NCUACS 76/5/98 In the autumn of 1952 Flowers returned to Harwell and was soon appointed Head of the Theoretical Physics Division in succession to K.E.J. Fuchs. He undertook to reconstruct the Division to make it more like a university department, whilst continuing with his own research in collaboration with J.P. Elliott. In 1958 Flowers was appointed Chief Research Scientist but decided in the same year to return to academic life at the University of Manchester, firstly as Professor of Theoretical Physics and then from 1961 as Langworthy Professor of Physics and Head of Department. At Manchester Flowers took on undergraduate teaching responsibilities and some of his lectures formed the basis of his book Properties of Matter published in 1970 (with E. Mendoza). In 1967 Flowers took unpaid leave of absence from the University of Manchester and moved into scientific administration by accepting appointment for a term of five years as Chairman of the Science Research Council (SRC). During that period his achievements as Chairman included ensuring United Kingdom participation in the 300 GeV project at CERN and the SRC’s establishment and development of the Engineering Board to sponsor and encourage engineering. He also succeeded in raising the SRC’s public profile. In 1972 he agreed to a second term of office as Chairman, this time for three years, and resigned the Langworthy Professorship at Manchester. Almost immediately, however, he was offered and accepted the position of Rector of Imperial College of Science and Technology, London. very active part in public life and in 1994 was appointed Chancellor of the University of Manchester. reactions, science policy, energy and the environment. He published the books Properties of Matter, with E. Mendoza in 1970 and An Introduction to Numerical Methods in C++ in 1995. 1976. Flowers took up his duties as Rector of Imperial College in 1973 and in the same year was also appointed Chairman of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution, a position he held until The 4th, 5th and 6th Reports of the Royal Commission were published during his Flowers contributed articles to scientific periodicals about the structure of the atomic nucleus, nuclear Vice-Chancellor of the University of London. Flowers retired in 1990, although he continued to play a chairmanship and proved influential, with many of their recommendations subsequently accepted by Government. Flowers continued at Rector of Imperial College until 1985, when he was appointed as was also President of several societies and organisations including the Institute of Physics, 1972- Science and Technology, 1989-1993 and the Nuffield Foundation, 1987-1998. Flowers served on the Advisory Council on Scientific Policy, 1962-1964 and the Council for Scientific Policy, 1965-1967, and Councils, 1966-1970, the Standing Commission on Energy and the Environment, 1978-1981, the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals, 1983-1985, the House of Lords Select Committee on Flowers played an active role in public life from the 1960s, frequently acting as chairman of committees and other bodies. These include the Computer Board for Universities and Research B.H. Flowers NCUACS 76/5/98 1974, the European Science Foundation, 1974-1980 and the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee, 1993-1997. Flowers was a founder member of the Social Democratic Party in 1981, having been persuaded to join by Shirley Williams MP. As a life peer he served, in his spare time, as a front bench spokesman on issues relating to science, education, energy and the environment until he decided in 1989 to return to the cross benches. Flowers was accorded many honours and awards for his contributions to both science and public life. He was elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society in 1961 and awarded the Rutherford Medal by the Institute of Physics and Physical Society in 1968. In the following year he received a knighthood and this was followed in 1979 with a life peerage. Flowers’s achievements were also honoured by the French Government in 1975 and 1981 with the titles of Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur and Officier de la Legion d’Honneur respectively. DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION The material is presented in the order given in the list of contents. It covers the period from the early 1940s to 1998.
