Richard Henry Tizard

Richard Henry Tizard (25 June 1917 – 5 September 2005) was a distinguished engineer and founding Fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge.

[4][5] Tizard came from a family of high achievers with a productive stubborn streak.

He used his political skills to marshal his grammar, state and public school intake behind a programme of historic renewal and reform in the University.

[7] As Senior Tutor, 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.
