Abstract
THOMAS HENRY POPE, who passed away on January 12, was born in London on February 1, 1875. He received his early scientific education at the Finsbury Technical College and in 1893 entered the Central Technical College, South Kensington, as a student of chemistry under Prof. H. E. Armstrong. After gaining the diploma of associate of the City and Guilds Institute in 1896, he became research assistant, first to Prof. W. C. Unwin and afterwards to Mr. (now Sir) Robert Mond until 1898, when he joined Julian L. Baker, then chief chemist to the Beetroot Sugar Association. In 1900 he became himself chief chemist to that Association, and shortly afterwards, in 1901, was appointed lecturer and demonstrator in the British School of Malting and Brewing under the late Prof. Adrian Brown. Pope stayed at the Birmingham School of Brewing until October 1917, when he joined Messrs. Calder's, Ltd., working at the distilleries at Bo'ness and Gartloch on problems arising in alcohol and yeast manufacture. This firm became an associated company of the Distillers Company, Ltd., in 1922, when T. H. Pope was transferred, first to the Vauxhall Distillery, Liverpool, and later, 1925, to Bankhall Distillery, in the same city. In 1927 he went as one of the senior chemists to the Research Department of the Distillers Company, then newly established at Great Burgh, Epsom, where he remained until the time of his death.
