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.

in the university and many of his students went on to achieve great scientific

after his return to Oxford he moved the focus of his research activity to
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

Thompson's main research interest in Berlin had been gas reactions but

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
No outline of Thompson's career would be complete without a few words on
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
1973-1975.
Furthermore, Thompson's contributions to international relations
were not limited to science.
As Chairman of the Great Britain - China

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).

correspondence between Thompson and Sutherland, 1937-47.

Foreign Secretaryship.
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.
This
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
Information Committee papers.
Section C (Societies and organisations) also provides important
documentation of Thompson's contributions to international science.

Section E (Football Association) is a very substantial section which

There is also full

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

This Committee was established in 1966 to deal with ICSU affairs and
its component bodies when the large International Relations Committee, which
had hitherto dealt with these matters, was replaced by a smaller International
Relations Committee to consider general policy in foreign relations.
Thompson was ex officio Chairman of the Committee as Foreign Secretary
and after his retirement from the Foreign Secretaryship was an ex officio
member of the Committee as

EUROPEAN CHEMICAL CONFERENCES (EUCHEM)
1963 - 1984
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.
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

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

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.Emeléus.
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 tniversities and visited Germany in that capacity in March 1950.

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

Thompson's long association with ICSU is
a further reflection
of his great enthusiasm for international scientific cooperation.
He
attended its meetings frequently and at the Vienna meeting in 1963 was
elected President providing distinguished service to the organisation
for three years.
Thompson was a member of the Committee on Future
Structure 1962-63
-
he chaired its second meeting
-
and chairman
of the Committee on Admissions and Organisation from 1966.
Much of the surviving material relates to discussions about the
reorganisation of ICSU to cope with its greatly increasing activities.
There is also material relating to Thompson's 1964 visit to Spain
as President and in the mid 1970s material relating to the political
problems:;associated with South Africa and Taiwan.

and this was agreed at the 1957 meeting of fTUPAC after what
Tommy remembered as an all night meeting with Professor B.L.
Crawford to draw up the rules and plans.

tasks was to prepare infrared wavelength secondary standards;

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
trust in. 980%
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.
