He was educated at Middlesbrough High School, the Ackworth Quaker school and Stockton High School. After a year at the Leys School, Cambridge he studied at the University of Manchester to study chemistry and physics, which was followed by a scholarship year at the University of Heidelberg.After a few years at Manchester studying hydrocarbon combustion he was appointed in 1906 the Livesey Professor at the University of Leeds.
