Abstract
William Jackson Pope was the eldest son of William and Alice Pope, who at the time of his birth (31 March 1870) lived in New North Road, in the City of London. On leaving the Cowper Street Endowed School, Pope proceeded to the Finsbury Technical College where he was one of H. E. Armstrong’s earliest pupils. He followed Armstrong to the Central Institution (now the City and Guild’s College of the Imperial College of Science and Technology), where the scheme of scientific studies, having no reference to outside examining bodies, did not lead to a university degree but gave a rigorous training in chemistry, crystallography under (now) Sir Henry A. Miers and in research methods admirably suited to Pope’s genius. From that time dated the remarkable friendship between H. E. Armstrong and Pope, which was only broken by the former’s death in 1937.
