Timeline
Wilson Baker FRS (24 January 1900 – 3 June 2002) was a British organic chemist.
He was born in Runcorn, the youngest of the four children of Harry and Mary Baker (née Eccles); his father was himself a chemist, having studied under Sir Henry Enfield Roscoe and Robert Bunsen, amongst others.
Wilson entered Victoria University of Manchester at the age of 16, and (having spent some time in France as a Quaker volunteer during the First World War) graduated top of the honours class in 1921.
He then undertook an MSc.
with Arthur Lapworth, before working on a PhD with Sir Robert Robinson on the synthesis of isoflavones.
The degree was awarded in 1924, when he was also appointed assistant lecturer.
The following years in Oxford were important in Baker's career:
Wilson Baker married Juliet Elizabeth Glaisyer, also a Quaker, on 4 August 1927 at the Sons’ Meeting House, Huddersfield.
They had three children: Rosalind, Roger and Katharine.
After 17 years in Oxford, Baker took up the post of Alfred Capper Pass Chair of Organic Chemistry at the University of Bristol in 1944, where he remained until his retirement in 1965.
J.F.W. McOmie and W.D. Ollis (FRS 1972) were appointed as assistant lecturers in 1945 and 1946, respectively.
The war years had “left a legacy of impoverished equipment and laboratories in desperate need of maintenance” and, as a consequence, Baker's time was mainly occupied in building up the departments of chemistry, first in collaboration with Professor W.E. Garner and then with D.H. Everett.
In his memory, a Wilson Baker Lecture is hosted by the chemistry department in Bristol every year.
Wilson Baker's research covered many areas, including chelation, inclusion compounds, penicillin and other natural products.
His work is fully described in the Royal Society memoir.
Wilson died aged 102 on 3 June 2002, outlived by the three children.
