John Anderson, 1st Viscount Waverley

John Anderson, 1st Viscount Waverley (8 July 1882 – 4 January 1958) was a British civil servant and politician who is best known for his service in the Cabinet during the Second World War, for which he was nicknamed the "Home Front Prime Minister". He served as Home Secretary, Lord President of the Council and Chancellor of the Exchequer. Anderson shelters are named after him.
== Early life ==
He was born in Eskbank, part of Dalkeith in Midlothian and studied mathematics and geology at the University of Edinburgh and chemistry at the University of Leipzig where he wrote a thesis on the chemistry of uranium. He was a brilliant student, winning numerous prizes, but at the age of 22 he decided to forsake a career in science and sat for the British civil service examinations, coming first, while also taking a degree in economics. In later life he was elected an honorary Fellow of the Royal Society.〔
He was appointed to the Colonial Office in 1905.
Aged only thirty-four, Anderson headed the Civil Service staff of the new Ministry of Shipping in 1917.〔Grigg, John (2002) ''Lloyd George: War Leader, 1916–1918'' Allen Lane, London. ISBN 0-713-99343-X. pp. 45–9〕 Later, he served as Under-Secretary for Ireland, and became Permanent Under-Secretary of State at the Home Office in 1922, where he had to deal with the General Strike of 1926. His career in the civil service was capped by a posting as Governor of Bengal from 1932 to 1937.
