Southwell, Sir (Charles Archibald) Philip (1894–1981), petroleum geologist and industrialist

Vincent Charles Illing was an internationally distinguished petroleum geologist who exemplified in his career the advantages of integrated academic and industrial work. His name will always be linked with the Royal School of Mines, London, where he created and developed over forty years the only department of petroleum geology in this country and one of the foremost in the world. His studies of the occurrence of oil and gas were no mere academic exercise. He was unique in British geology in combining the duties and responsibilities of a professor with those of guiding petroleum exploration and exploitation in various parts of the world. He never relinquished his consultant’s role. His biography is of particular interest now that pragmatism in scientific work has regained much of its former respectability.
