GENERAL INTRODUCTION
OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF SIR HAROLD THOMPSON
Sir Harold Thompson, known affectionately to all his friends as
'Tommy', was a distinguished Oxford scientist and teacher who made
exceptional contributions to international science; he was also a lifelong
enthusiast for association football.
This account of his career draws
very considerably on Sir Rex Richards's Royal Society memoir of Thompson
(Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, 31,573 - 610).
Harold Warris Thompson was born in 1908 in Wombwell, Yorkshire, where
his father was a colliery manager.
He was educated from the age of nine
at King Edward VII School in Sheffield and in 1924 obtained an open scholar-
ship to Trinity College, Oxford, where his tutor was C.N. Hinshelwood.
He
graduated with a first in Natural Sciences (Chemistry) in 1929.
Thompson
then spent a year working in Berlin with Fritz Haber (and meeting such
great scientists as Planck, Einstein, Nernst, von Laue, Schrédinger and
distinction.
They include Lord Kearton, Lord Dainton, Sir Rex Richards,
Professor Jack Linnett and Professor David Whiffen - all Fellows of the

with G.B.B.M. Sutherland on the infrared spectroscopic analysis of enemy

Thompson's main research interest in Berlin had been gas reactions but
H.W. Thompson
NCUACS 2/1/88
After the war Thompson played a major role ‘in showing how infrared spectra
might be applied to a quite amazing range of chemical studies' and until
retirement he 'continued with his scientific work, constantly breaking new
ground and exploring new ideas'.
The importance of Thompson's research was
recognised with many honours, including his election to the Fellowship of
the Royal Society in 1946 and the award of the Society's Davy Medal in 1965.
Thompson's contributions to international science were quite exceptional.
His year in Berlin convinced him of the importance of international scientific
cooperation and he was quick to renew contacts at the end of the Second World
War, visiting Germany in 1947 under the auspices of the Control Commission's
Research Branch.
In April 1949 he received an invitation to go out to Germany
for a three-year period as Director of the Research Branch but he felt obliged
to decline this invitation as too disruptive of his scientific career at
Oxford.
His interests and experience in international affairs made him an
He
Furthermore, Thompson's contributions to international relations
were not limited to science.
As Chairman of the Great Britain - China
Committee, 1972-1974 and of the Great Britain - China Centre, 1974-1980 he
played a significant part in developing non-political relations between the
two countries after the dislocations of the Cultural Revolution.
inspired choice as Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society, 1965-1971.
expanded and encouraged scientific exchanges, making contacts, devising new
programmes and securing the funding from private foundations and government.
Thompson also made important contributions to international science as
President of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU), 1963-1966
and President of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC),
1973-1975.
His love of the amateur game is also illustrated by the founding in 1948 of

Pegasus, a combined Oxford and Cambridge eleven, to play in the Football
Association Amateur Cup Competition.
In 1941 Thompson became the Oxford
representative on the Football Association Council and over the years he
played an increasingly important role in the Association's affairs,
culminating in his period as Chairman, 1976-1981.
As befits someone with
Thompson's interest in international cooperation, he was also actively
involved in the affairs of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).

Of particular interest are Thompson's International

Europe and Israel, East Europe and USSR, China, Latin America and so on.
The Western European papers document the hugely successful European Science

of the very serious problems faced by Thompson in his efforts to promote
international science -

Czechoslovakia and in the case of China, the Cultural Revolution.

By contrast Thompson's work for the
Oxford University Association Football Club and Pegasus is not documented
in the collection.

EUROPEAN CHEMICAL CONFERENCES (EUCHEM)

At the 1960 Paris meeting and the 1962 Brussels meeting of the
Chairmen of European National Committees for Chemistry there was some
consideration of West European discussion meetings.

had prepared on the need for small conferences of the "Gordon' type
and possible action which might be taken to arrange such conferences
in the next few years.
At the 1963
The discussion which followed showed that all
present were in favour of proceeding with the plan for something along
the lines of 'Gordon' Conferences in Europe and the meeting agreed that
Chairmen of National Committees should explore the views in their
countries and submit suggestions to a sub-committee (including Thompson)
whose purpose should be to collect information and investigate possible
locations, finance, subjects, name and membership of organising committees.
Questionnaires were sent out with the minutes and the information was
returned to Thompson who presented the results in a paper to a meeting
of the sub-committee at the Royal Society in March 1964.

In December 1966 the Royal Society called a meeting in London of

Europe to discuss its proposals, which were immediately and unanimously
approved.
Grants for study visits and research conferences were made
in January 1967 and the first postgraduate fellowships were awarded
in March.
At about this time the DES placed a substantial sum at the

plan was discussed at a second meeting of national representatives
at Bad
Godesberg in April and as a result appropriate balancing
agreements were negotiated with Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, the
Netherlands, Switzerland and Spain.
At a meeting in Amsterdam in
November 1967 it was decided to expand the programme by general increases
in the 'balancing sums'
and at a fourth meeting at the Royal Society
in October 1968 all countries in Western Europe became partners.
In 1967 the Royal Society accepted 4M offer of £8,000
from private sources to extend the scheme further.
While arrangements for a European scientific exchange programme
a year for three years from the Hon Marcus Sieff, on behalf of several
donors, to promote scientific exchanges with Israel and, after a visit
to Israel by Thompson, the Israeli authorities agreed to contribute

During 1968 very considerable additional sums were raised
were worked out, progress was also being made on scientific interchange
with Israel.

Western Europe and Israel and that arrangement is respected here.
The record is particularly full for Thompson's time as Foreign Secretary,
1965-1971, and continues less comprehensively for a further decade.

LATIN AMERICA
The Royal Society
Visit to Brazil, Mexico and Cuba, 1968
A suggestion that a small delegation from the Royal Society visit
Latin America was discussed at meetings of the Society's International
Relations Committee during 1967, and by the Foreign Secretary (Thompson)
and other Officers of the Society with Professor Carlos Chagas,
the
permanent delegate
of Brazil at UNESCO.
Thompson also consulted
several Fellows and others with first hand knowledge of Latin America.
On the basis of these discussions and consultations the Officers
proposed that the delegation should visit Brazil and Mexico.
Accordingly
arrangements were made for a delegation comprising the President
(P.M.S. Blackett), the Biological Secretary (A.A.Miles), the Foreign
Secretary, two Vice-Presidents (G.B.R. Feilden and R.D.Keynes) and
the Deputy Executive Secretary (R.J.W. Keay)

COUNCIL FOR SCIENTIFIC POLICY (CSP)
Thompson's association with the Council for Scientific Policy
reflects the enthusiastic support for international cooperation in
science which characterised his term as Foreign Secretary of the
Royal Society.
He was a member of the CSP's Working Party on
International Scientific Relations (first meeting, 4 February 1966)
and subsquently served on the CSP Standing Committee on International
Scientific Relations.
The material consists principally of
committee papers, with a little correspondence and Thompson's ms
notes.
It
is presented in a chronological sequence under the

material relating to working groups on international research
facilities (1968)

FOREIGN OFFICE
1947-56
Thompson was a member of the Chemistry Panel of Consultants to the
Research Branch of the Control Commission for Germany, and in this capacity
made a number of visits to Germany.
Other members of the Panel were
A.R.
(later Lord) Todd and H.J.Emeleus.
In April 1949 Thompson was
informally approached about going out to Germany for a three-year period
as Director of the Research Branch.
He declined, doubting whether he
could conveniently
go out even for a short period, while a lengthy
stretch would have meant a permanent break with his current job, and
a major upheaval.
At the end of 1949 Thompson accepted an invitation
to serve on a selection committee for German dozenten to be placed in
British universities and visited Germany in that capacity in March 1950.

GREAT BRITAIN - CHINA COMMITTEE (later GREAT BRITAIN - CHINA CENTRE)
1972-1983
In 1972 the Great Britain - China Committee was established to
facilitate cultural and similar exchanges 'in the light of the improvement
in relations between our two countries, in particular exemplified by the
agreement to exchange Ambassadors'
(C.108).
Thompson accepted an
invitation to chair the Committee which included Mr Malcolm Macdonald,
Lord Trevelyan, Sir John Keswick, representatives of the political parties,
the Royal Society and the British Academy.
Initially the British Council
agreed to provide and house the Secretariat.
The Committee's first
Secretary was the Director of the Council's East Europe Department,
I.H. Williams who was succeeded towards the end of 1972 by J.F.H.Villiers.
Successes of the Committee included an exhibition of Chinese art treasures
at the Royal Academy and a visit of Shanghai acrobats, both in 1973.
However, Chinese relations with the international football authorities
visited China in 1974 as head of a Royal Society delegation and in 1979
with a Great Britain - China Centre delegation.
In 1974 the Committee was transformed into the Great Britain - China
by Thompson.
Its members included Members of Parliament and represent-

YOUTH TRUST
Football Association
The F
A Youth Trust was established in October 1972 with the
principal aim of enabling and encouraging pupils of schools and universities...
"to play Association football and other games or sports and thereby to assist
in ensuring that due attention is given to the physical education and
development of such pupils, as well as the development and occupation of
their minds'
(E.213).
Thompson was one of the original Trustees.
The Charity Commissioners were satisfied that the trust was of a
charitable nature, but in 1973 the Inland Revenue challenged this status.
The subsequent legal proceedings were lengthy,
the case eventually
going to the House of Lords where judgment was given in favour of the
EXUSt sin. 1980.
Most of the surviving material relates to these legal proceedings
and includes correspondence, notes of meetings, opinions of counsel, affidavits
and judgments.

FOOTBALL TRUST/FOOTBALL GROUNDS IMPROVEMENT TRUST (FGIT)
The Trusts channel money from the Pools Promoters Association's
Spotting-the-Ball competition into football.
The FGIT was set up during
the passage through Parliament of the Safety of Grounds Act,
1975,
with
the primary aim of making grants to Football League Clubs for safety work
at their grounds.
A secondary purpose was the betterment of facilities
generally.
A growing sense of the problems facing football in the
late 1970s encouraged the PPA to set aside more money from the Spotting-
the-Ball Competition for wider objectives and at the end of 1979 a new
Football Trust was established.
60 percent of its funds were allocated
to the FGIT to continue its work and other areas identified for Football
Trust support, for example crowd control and non-league and grassroots
football;
Thompson who was appointed a Trustee in January 1980 was
