Sidney Holgate
Sidney "Syd" Holgate, CBE (9 September 1918 – 17 May 2003) was a British mathematician and academic.
Holgate was schooled at Henry Mellish School and won a scholarship to Hatfield College, Durham, where he studied Mathematics and eventually became Senior Man.[1] Being unacceptable for wartime service on medical grounds, he instead taught for a year at Nottingham High School, before returning to Durham and completing his doctorate in 1945.[1]
He was Master of Grey College, Durham from its foundation in 1959 to 1980. He served as Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Sub-Warden of Durham University from 1964 to 1969.[1][2]
