Dick Tizard

Life

Dick Tizard was the son of Sir Henry Tizard. He was chosen by Sir John Cockcroft as a founding Fellow of Churchill College, a new science-focused college at the University of Cambridge.[2] He offered a fellowship to John Arundel Barnes.[3]

As Senior Tutor at Churchill College, Tizard pioneered outreach, admitting 600 men from 300 schools. After his retirement, he discussed with non-resident members of the JCR the possibility of their extending this outreach activity to 30 primary schools.[2][4][5][6]

Churchill College later named a room after him.[7]
