James Marjoribanks
Sir James Alexander Milne Marjoribanks (29 May 1911 – 29 January 2002) was a career diplomat in the British Foreign Service and became British ambassador to the European Economic Community. He presented Britain's application to join the European Community in 1967 and was instrumental in this application becoming successful.
==Background and family life==
James Marjoribanks was born in Colinton, near Edinburgh, Scotland, the third son of Thomas Marjoribanks, a minister in the (presbyterian) Church of Scotland,〔( “Sir James Marjoribanks” (Obituary) ), ''The Independent'', 4 February 2002. Retrieved 3 October 2008.〕〔“Obituary – Sir James Marjoribanks – Diplomat who handed over Britain's successful application to the EEC”, ''The Times'', 8 February 2002.〕 and Elizabeth Logan. James Marjoribanks’ father Thomas and his brother William were respectively heads of the lowland Marjoribanks family.〔Marjoribanks, Roger (Editor). (The Marjoribanks Journal Number 2 ), January 1994. Retrieved 26 October 2009〕〔(Clan Marjoribanks web site ) accessed 29 April 2010〕 James Marjoribanks attended two of Edinburgh’s famous public schools (i.e. private schools) – Merchiston Castle School and Edinburgh Academy.〔〔
In order to prepare for his entrance into Edinburgh University where he was to study modern languages, Marjoribanks spent 1927–28 in Paris and at the Convitto Maschile Valdese in Torre Pellice, Italy〔”Portrait Gallery: Sir James Alexander Milne Marjoribanks KCMG, director of the Distillers Company Limited”, ''The DCL Gazette'', p.6, April 1974 Biography of Sir James in the house journal of The Distillers Company〕 where he became fluent in Italian. This was to prove useful to him later. He graduated from Edinburgh University with a first class honours〔 Master of Arts (Scotland)〔“James Marjoribanks” (Obituary), ''The Herald (Glasgow)'', 1 February 2002.〕 in 1932 and then studied German further in Bonn and Tübingen, Germany. He stayed for four months with a German newspaper proprietor’s family which coincided with the accession to power of Adolf Hitler in January 1933. Marjoribanks noted that the general attitude was “We’ve tried everything else, so we might as well try Adolf. If he’s no good we’ll get rid of him.” But, he also noted, it wasn’t as easy as that. After the war, Marjoribanks discovered that a bomb had destroyed both the house and the parents. Two of the three sons had died on the Eastern Front.
Marjoribanks passed the British Foreign Service (later called the Foreign and Commonwealth Office) exams in 1933 and was posted to China in 1934.〔( “Sir James Marjoribanks” (Obituary) ), ''The Scotsman'', 4 February 2002. Retrieved 3 October 2008.〕
