John Hilton
One of the most striking life stories that appeared in the series ' People You Hear ' was that of John Hilton , who began three times. He was disqualified after winning a scholarship; he was without the money to renew the patent of an invention now in world-wide use ; his health broke down. No man ever rose so indomitably from humble beginnings ; no series of talks ever gave more cheer to a large number of listeners than his weekly ' This and That' to unemployed people. John Hilton has been Professor of Industrial Relations at Cambridge since 1931, but perhaps he is even prouder of his Chairmanship of the Advisory Committee of Fellowship House-a club that he started with others for the unemployed at Cambridge.
