Joseph Hubert Priestley {{Post-nominals|country=GBR|unlinked=DSO FLS}} ({{Ne|Priestlay}}; 5 October 1883{{Spaced ndash}}31 October 1944) was a British lecturer in botany at University College, Bristol, and professor of botany and pro-vice-chancellor at the University of Leeds. He has been described as a gifted teacher who attracted many graduate research students to Leeds. He was the eldest child of a Tewkesbury head teacher and the elder brother of Raymond Priestley, the British geologist and Antarctic explorer. He was educated at his father's school and University College, Bristol. In 1904, he was appointed a lecturer in botany at the University College and published research on photosynthesis and the effect of electricity on plants. He was elected a fellow of the Linnean Society, and in 1910, he was appointed consulting botanist to the Bath and West and Southern Counties Society.

In 1911, he married Marion Ethel Young at Bristol, and in the same year, he was appointed professor of botany at the University of Leeds. He served in the British Army during World War I, receiving a commission as a captain. In August 1914, he was sent to France with the British Expeditionary Force, and for the remainder of the war, he was seconded to the Intelligence Corps. He was twice mentioned in dispatches, and awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) in 1917 and the {{Lang|fr|Chevalier de L'Ordre de la Couronne de Belgique}} in 1919. On his return to Leeds, he embarked on a programme of research that encompassed the structure and development of the growing points of plants, the effect of light on growth, cork formation, and plant propagation.

In 1922, he was appointed dean of the faculty of science, and in 1925, he was elected president of the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union. In the following year, he taught a postgraduate course at the University of California, Berkeley. He was an active member of the British Association, the British Bryological Society, and the Forestry Commission. In 1935, he was elected pro{{Hyphen}}vice{{Hyphen}}chancellor, serving in that role until 1939. He was the first warden to the male students at Leeds and organised many social activities, including a staff dancing class and "botanical parties". He was a passionate cricket player and captained the staff team at Leeds. He died after a long illness at his home in Weetwood, Leeds.

Early life

File:Henrietta Priestley, née Rice, and daughters.jpg

Priestley was born on {{Birth date|1883|10|5|df=yes}} at Abbey House school, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire,{{R|"Who's Who 1944"|"Gloucestershire Chronicle 13 October 1883"}} and baptised at the Methodist chapel in Tewkesbury on 6{{Nbsp}}November 1883.{{R|"Baptism 1883"}}{{Efn|Priestley was known as "Bert" by family and friends.{{R|"Priestley Ridley 2002"|p=200}}}} He was the eldest child of eight children of Joseph Edward Priestlay, then head teacher of the school, and Henrietta, {{Nee|Rice}}.{{R|"Bullock 2017"|p=7}} His mother was the second surviving daughter of Richard Rice of Tewkesbury. They had met at the Methodist chapel, and had married on 22{{Nbsp}}December 1881 at Tettenhall parish church, now in the city of Wolverhampton.{{R|"Cheltenham Examiner 28 December 1881"}} The Priestley family name was spelt originally as "Priestlay". However, in the early 1900s, the name changes to "Priestley" and both spellings appear on family graves in Tewkesbury Cemetery.{{R|"Bullock 2017"|p=10}}

In 1875, Priestley's father graduated from the University of London with a second class Bachelor of Arts degree in animal physiology.{{R|"University of London 1912"}} He was appointed head teacher of Abbey House school following the death of his father, Joseph Priestley,{{R|"Bullock 2017"|p=7}} on 13{{Nbsp}}November 1876,{{R|"The Tewkesbury Register 18 November 1876"}} and remained as head until his retirement in 1917. He moved to Bristol and joined the staff of Grace, Darbyshire, and Todd,{{R|"The Tewkesbury Register 17 December 1921"}} a local firm of accountants.{{R|"Howitt 1984"}} He died on 9{{Nbsp}}December 1921, aged 67, at a nursing home in Clifton, and was interred in Canford Cemetery, Westbury-on-Trym, near Bristol.{{R|"The Tewkesbury Register 17 December 1921"}} Henrietta died on 24 September 1929, aged 76, at Bishopston, Bristol.{{R|"Western Daily Press 27 September 1929"}}

Priestley's brothers, Stanley and Donald, died on active service during World War I. Stanley left Tewkesbury in 1912 to follow Priestley to the University of Leeds where he became a member of the University Officers' Training Corps.{{R|"Waldron Willavoys 2016"}} Donald was a commercial traveller working for their mother's family firm, William Rice and Company, corn millers and seed merchants at Tewkesbury.{{R|"Waldron Willavoys 2017"}} His brother, Raymond, was a geologist in Robert Falcon Scott's ill{{Hyphen}}fated Terra Nova Expedition to the Antarctic from 1910 to 1913.{{R|"The Tewkesbury Register 17 December 1921"}}

Priestley's sisters were Edith, Doris, Joyce, and Olive.{{R|"Cadbury Research Library 2007"}} Edith married Charles Seymour "Silas" Wright and Doris married Thomas Griffith "Grif" Taylor, both of whom were members of Scott's expedition.{{R|"Bullock 2017"|p=10}} Doris first met Taylor in July 1913, and at that time, was acting as Priestley's secretary.{{R|"Taylor 1958"}} Joyce married Herbert William Merrell, who served with the Gloucester Regiment in World War I,{{R|"Cheltenham Chronicle 12 October 1918"}} and in later life, was an accountant on the staff of the University of Leeds.{{R|"University of Leeds 1933"}}

The family were Methodists, and on Sundays, Priestley was required to attend two religious services and Sunday school.{{R|"Bullock 2017"|p=8}} They were also passionate cricket players. Stanley was regarded as a good bowler and Donald played for Gloucestershire from 1909 to 1910.{{R|"Bullock 2017"|pp=9{{Ndash}}10}} Priestley himself would later play for the University College, Bristol,{{R|"Western Daily Press 20 May 1901"}} and captain the staff team at the University of Leeds.{{R|"Bullock 2017"|p=10}}

Education

Priestley, along with his brothers, was educated at his father's school in Tewkesbury.{{R|"Bullock 2017"|p=8}}{{Efn|In later life, Priestley was a member of the Old Theocsbrian Society, the Abbey House school alumni association, and a regular attendee at the association's annual dinner.{{R|"The Tewkesbury Register 3 February 1923"}}}} He passed his Cambridge Local Examination in December 1897 with unremarkable third class honours.{{R|"The Tewkesbury Register 5 March 1898"}} In July 1898, he passed an elementary examination in Pitman shorthand,{{R|"The Tewkesbury Register 30 July 1898"}} before taking a physical geography course at the Science Hall on Oldbury Road, Tewkesbury.{{R|"The Tewkesbury Register 17 September 1898"}} He passed this course with first class honours in June 1899.{{R|"The Tewkesbury Register 24 June 1899"}} In February 1900, he gained a first class pass in the University of London matriculation examination.{{R|"Western Daily Press 16 February 1900"}} In July 1901, the University College, Bristol, awarded him a Capper Pass metallurgical scholarship of twenty{{Hyphen}}five pounds (equivalent to {{Convert|{{Inflation|UK|25|1901}}|cuyd|round=5|spell=on|disp=number}} pounds in 2019).{{R|"Clifton Society 4 July 1901"}}

Though primarily a botany student, Priestley took courses in chemistry and physics at Bristol,{{R|"Scott 1946"}} and in August 1901, he gained a first class pass in the University of London intermediate science examination.{{R|"Western Daily Press 8 August 1901"}}{{Efn|University College, Bristol, originated as a college teaching external degrees of the University of London.

In November 1904, Priestley was made an associate of the college.{{R|"Western Daily Press 17 November 1904"}} In January 1905, he was appointed temporary lecturer in botany, in succession to George Brebner,{{R|"University Review 1905"}} who had died on 23 December 1904.{{R|"Journal of Botany 1905"}} This appointment was made permanent by the college council on 19{{Nbsp}}July 1905 at an annual salary of £120 ({{Inflation|UK|120|1905|fmt=eq|r=-2|cursign=£}}).{{R|1="Priestley Ridley 2002"|p1=521|2="Western Daily Press 22 July 1905"}} He and Raymond, who was then studying geography at the college, lodged together for two years on the top floor of a Bristol boarding house. They lived on fifty shillings a week and lunch would often consist of a bun and a glass of milk.{{R|"Priestley Ridley 2002"|p=522}}

Priestley's early research examined the process and products of photosynthesis.{{R|"Sledge 1945"}} In 1906, he published a paper with Francis Usher, later a reader in colloid chemistry at the University of Leeds,{{R|"Mysels 1992"}} that postulated that chlorophyll in vitro is reduced to formaldehyde in the presence of carbon dioxide and light.{{R|"Porter 1968"|p=53}} Vernon Herbert Blackman, professor of botany at the University of Leeds whom Priestley would succeed in 1911,{{R|"Porter 1968"|p=51}} considered the evidence unsatisfactory.{{R|"Porter 1968"|p=53}} Charles Horne Warner, working in Blackman's laboratory, found that the formation of formaldehyde was independent of the presence of carbon dioxide, and in fact, formaldehyde was formed as a by{{Hyphen}}product of the oxidation of chlorophyll.{{R|"Porter 1968"|p=54}}

In 1908, the college received a grant of fifty pounds from the Board of Agriculture to enable the biology department to conduct research on the effect of electricity on plants.{{R|"Nature 1908"}} In an initial experiment, Priestley ran electrical wires above plants in greenhouses at Bitton, South Gloucestershire, to demonstrate that electricity could stimulate the growth of the plants.{{R|"Mee 1913"}} At the time, it was thought that an electric current could increase plant respiration, transpiration, and starch formation.{{R|"Irish Gardening 1910"}} He noted that young wheat leaves from electrified plots were, "in the opinion of many observers, darker green than the control plants."{{R|"Diprose Benson Willis 1984"|p=180}} He suggested that the darker green could result from a continuous amount of nitrates being added to the soil, in a similar manner to the oxidation of atmospheric nitrogen by lightning. In one soil test, he found three times the amount of nitrogen in the soil than in the control plots.{{R|"Diprose Benson Willis 1984"|p=181}} However, it is now generally accepted that there are no beneficial effects from exposing plants to electric fields.{{R|"Diprose Benson Willis 1984"|p=178}}

In 1906, Priestley was elected as honorary secretary to the Bristol Naturalists' Society.{{R|"Phillips 1962"}} He was also president of the college's botanical club and was a local secretary for the Cotteswold Naturalists' field club.{{R|1="The Tewkesbury Register 19 August 1911"|2="Carles 1907"|p2=4}} He joined the Bristol Fabian Society and was president of the Montpelier adult school.{{R|"The Tewkesbury Register 19 August 1911"}} In January 1908, he was elected a fellow of the Linnean Society.{{R|"Linnean Society 1908"}} In 1910, he was appointed consulting botanist to the Bath and West and Southern Counties Society,{{R|"Plowman 1910"}} after William Carruthers had resigned in the previous year.{{R|"Western Daily Press 1 July 1911"}} In 1911, Priestley was appointed professor of botany at the University of Leeds,{{R|"Pearsall Scott 1944"}} succeeding Blackman, who had left to join the Institute of Vegetable Physiology at Imperial College London.{{R|"Porter 1968"|p=51}} Otto Vernon Darbishire was appointed to replace Priestley as lecturer in botany at the University of Bristol.{{R|"Nature 1934"}} In 1914, Priestley was appointed an examiner in the Natural Science Tripos at Cambridge.{{R|"Historical Register 1922"}}

Priestley's university work was interrupted by World War I. He had been in command of the University Officers' Training Corps at both Bristol and Leeds, and on 9{{Nbsp}}August 1914, he was sent to France with the British Expeditionary Force.{{R|"The Tewkesbury Register 4 November 1944"}} In his absence, Walter Garstang, then professor of zoology at the University of Leeds, assumed responsibility for the botany department.{{R|"Leeds Mercury 3 October 1914"}} For the remainder of the war, he served in the Intelligence Brigade of the general staff until January 1919.{{R|"The Tewkesbury Register 4 November 1944"}} He was twice mentioned in dispatches, and awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) in the King's 1917 Birthday Honours, and in 1919, the {{Lang|fr|Chevalier de L'Ordre de la Couronne de Belgique}} ({{Translation|Knight of the Order of the Crown of Belgium}}).{{R|"Pearsall Scott 1944"}}{{Efn|The announcement of the award of the {{Lang|fr|Chevalier de L'Ordre de la Couronne de Belgique}} was not made in The London Gazette until 23{{Nbsp}}August 1921.{{R|"London Gazette 23 August 1921"}}}}

On his return to Leeds, Priestley embarked on a programme of research that encompassed the structure and development of the growing points of plants, the effect of light on growth, cork formation, and plant propagation.{{R|"Pearsall Scott 1944"}} He had been influenced by the work of Albert Frey-Wyssling on cell walls and William Henry Lang's research on plant morphology and anatomy.{{R|"Cushing 2005"|"Pearsall Scott 1944"}} In 1924, he was elected president of the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union and was a member of the British Bryological Society.{{R|"The Naturalist 1925"|"British Bryological Society 1926"}} In December 1926, he travelled to California to teach a postgraduate course at the University of California, Berkeley.
