Cambridge Trinity College

The British physicist, famous for his discovei y of the electron, was born in Cheetham, near Manchester, on December 18, 1856. He first entered Owens College (later Manchester University) at the early age of fourteen. In 1876 Thomson won a scholarship in Mathematics to Trinity College, Cambridge, and remained a member of the College for the rest of his life. He became a Fellow in 1880, Lecturer in 1883 and Master in 1918, a position he held with great flair until his death on August 30, 1940.

In 1929 he was elected Foulerton professor of the Royal Society, and in 1937 he became professor of physiology at the University of Cambridge until 1951, when he was elected master of Trinity College, Cambridge. He was chancellor of the university from 1968 until two years before his death. 

Hill, Archibald Vivian (1886-1977) British Physiologist Archibald Vivian Hill was born in Bristol on September 26, 1886. After an early education at Blundell s School, Tiverton, he entered Trinity College, Cambridge, with scholarships. He studied mathematics but was urged to go into physiology by one of his teachers, Walter Morley Fletcher. 

John Pople was bom in Bumham-on-Sea, Somerset in 1925, the son of a men s clothing storeowner. His parents considered education important and sent him to Bristol Grammar School. Here he developed an interest in mathematics and in 1943 went to Trinity College, Cambridge to read mathematics. As it was wartime he had to finish his degree in two years and in 1945 went to work for the Bristol Aeroplane Company. In 1947 he returned to Cambridge as a maths student but developed an interest in theoretical science. He went on to work with Sir John Lennard-Jones after whom one of the interatomic potentials used in calculations is named. At about the same time Pople decided to learn to play the piano and went on to marry his piano teacher, Joy Bowers.
