Abstract
WILLIAM JACKSON POPE, the great chemist, was the eldest son of William and Alice Pope who at the time of his birth (March 31, 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 Guilds’ 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 Pope a rigorous training in chemistry, classical crystallography (under H. A. Miers) and in research methods admirably suited to his genius. From that time dated the unique friendship between Armstrong and Pope which was only broken by the former's death in 1937.
