He was one of the last of that distinguished band of pioneers who by example and by teaching helped to bridge the gulf that had for ages existed between the study of abstract science and its practical application in engineering. His career covered the whole period during which engineering became gradually recognized as a branch of science. It is difficult now to realize that at the time when Unwin’s engineering studies began, informed opinion was inclined still to regard as “ vulgar and sordid ” the application of science to practical engineering. Such a state of affairs at so recent a date may well astonish us, although Rankine, in the celebrated introduction to his volume on Applied Mechanics, describes how wide was the gulf fixed between the ideal and the practical by the philosophers of ancient times.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1934-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127444004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

John Alcock, who, after a lifetime at sea in sailing ships, retired and lived at Blackheath. His mother was a daughter of one Christopher Puddicombe, the only son of a Devon squire, who had run away to sea in his boyhood. Alcock was educated at Mill Hill School, at Blackheath Proprietary School and at Westminster School. He had only been at Westminster for a year when, in 1876, financial losses forced his father to take him from school and to send him to India, to the Wynaad district in Malabar, where some relatives were engaged in coffee-planting. We have no particulars of Alcock’s school career, but the boy of 17 who took with him to the jungles of Malabar “ my Horace and my Homer, along with my Canterbury Tales and my Golden Treasury ” cannot have been an idle or reluctant pupil.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1933-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126278166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He then went to Johns Hopkins University to pursue graduate studies, and remained there until 1889, taking his Ph.D. degree in 1887, the subject of his dissertation being that of No. 7 in the list of publications given below.

So much was this the case that when quite a boy his schoolmaster said that he undoubtedly had talent for mechanics. At thirteen, he was sent to University College School, and when between fifteen and sixteen years of age he was apprenticed to Ravenhill Salkeld and Co., Marine Engine Builders, where he went through the usual thorough training of that time. But in addition to his regular work it is recorded that he spent his leisure hours in study and work in his own workshop. During this period he made friends with a boy named James Hilditch, who also had a strong mechanical bent. Between them they developed a number of original inventions and they took out several patents, including some relating to ploughing machinery which proved very successful. The actual ploughing machinery was made by Coleman and Sons, of Chelmsford, and young Yarrow soon became London representative of the firm. About this time, Hilditch and Yarrow made a notable contribution to practical telegraphy by installing the first overhead telegraph line in London between their two homes. These two young men had certainly a very wide range of interests, and not only worked at their special inventions, but they explored keenly the possibilities of the use of steam for road traction, and in 1861 their proposals were taken up by the late T. W. Cowan, at Greenwich.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1932-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117323679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After attending a local church school he was apprenticed to an engineering firm at Higher Walton, and afterwards (1875—78) to Messrs. Clayton & Sons, engineers and boilermakers, of Preston. His daughter states that during these three years he also attended evening classes at St. Paul’s School, Preston, and that this involved leaving home for the foundry every morning at 5 a.m. and returning at night after 10 p.m. Such practical experience made him eligible as a candidate for a Whitworth Scholarship at a time when these were few in number and of greater monetary value than is nowadays the case.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"67 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114115708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although these two distinguished organic chemists received the same parental impetus and made some early, but rather unsuccessful, essays in collaboration, their individual originality led to the enrichment of very different aspects of the subject. William, as is well known, became the disciple of Baeyer, carried the flag to Britain and maintained and developed the traditions of his school at Edinburgh, Manchester, and Oxford. Arthur, under the influence of Professor J. J. Hummel, became interested in the natural organic colouring matters ; one might almost say the natural dyestuffs, and in due course he was acknowledged throughout the world as the master of his chosen subject of research. Although Arthur, like William, became a teacher and professor, his influence in national scientific affairs and indirectly through his pupils, though considerable, cannot be compared with that exercised by his brother. Arthur was most at home at the bench, pursuing his investigations with his own hands, and it is significant that of his 270 scientific papers no fewer than 60 are published without collaborators.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130079578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
