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 Thompson very quickly established himself as one of the finest teachers distinction.

During with G.B.B.M. Sutherland on the infrared spectroscopic analysis of enemy aviation fuels, and in 1943 he and Sutherland were members of a British 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 inspired choice as Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society, 1965-1971. He two countries after the dislocations of the Cultural Revolution. No outline of Thompson's career would be complete without a few words on Furthermore, Thompson's contributions to international relations were not limited to science. As Chairman of the Great Britain - China expanded and encouraged scientific exchanges, making contacts, devising new programmes and securing the funding from private foundations and government. Committee, 1972-1974 and of the Great Britain - China Centre, 1974-1980 he played a significant part in developing non-political relations between the 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 Association Football Club in 1931 and served the Club for over half a century. association football. He played football for Oxford from his first term and was awarded his Blue in 1928. He became Treasurer of the Oxford University H.W. Thompson NCUACS 2/1/88 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 Relations Committee papers and the papers he grouped by region, Western Europe and Israel, East Europe and USSR, China, Latin America and so on. The Western European papers document the hugely successful European Science Exchange Programme and the East European and Chinese papers illustrate some of the very serious problems faced by Thompson in his efforts to promote international science - in the case of East Europe, the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia and in the case of China, the Cultural Revolution. section also provides comprehensive documentation of a further great success for Thompson in European scientific cooperation, the EUCHEM conferences. Thompson's contributions to the Royal Society outside the international relations area are represented by his Education Committee and Scientific This Information Committee papers. Section C (Societies and organisations) also provides important documentation of Thompson's contributions to international science. particular interest in this regard are manuscripts relating to his work for the Research Branch of the Control Commission for Germany, for the Inter- national Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) and for the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) including the Commission on Molecular Spectroscopy and the Triple Commission on Spectroscopy.

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

At the 1963 meeting held at the Royal Society Thompson introduced a note which he 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. The discussion which followed showed that all present were in favour of proceeding with the plan for something along the lines of 'Gordon' Conferencesin 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. The meeting agreed to proceed at once to arrange conferences for suggested by Thompson. '( i) 1965 and to call them European Chemical Conferences (EUCHEM).

Funding had Secretary. In 1965 and 1966 discussions took place within the Royal study visits by senior scientists between important centres of research the Department of Education and Science and possible financial supporters. continued through Mr Robert Maxwell and in 1967 further funds were made available to support small specialised European research conferences, short already been provided by the Wates Foundation and from Pergamon Press by the Ford Foundation. H.W. Thompson NCUACS 2/1/88 The Royal Society In December 1966 the Royal Society called a meeting in London of representatives of academieS or equivalent organisations in Western 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 Royal Society's disposal for 1967-1968 provided that balancing arrangements could be made with the other countries concerned. This 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. 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 oi DOO, During ~ 1968 very considerable additional sums were raised were worked out, progress was also being made on scientific interchange with Israel. In 1967 the Royal Society accepted 8M offer of £8,000 Thompson's ms notes and drafts. The record is particularly full for Thompson's time as Foreign Secretary, material includes correspondence, committee papers, progress reports, and Western Europe and Israel and that arrangement is respected here.

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.

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 frustrated early efforts to send a British football team to China.

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.
