Dick Norman's career spanned teaching and research in organic chemistry of the first rank at the Universities of Oxford and York, the Presidencies of the Royal Institute of Chemistry and the Royal Society of Chemistry, a spell as Chief Scientific Adviser to two major Government departments (Defence and Energy) and the Rectorship of Exeter College, Oxford. These elements of his career–teaching, research, leadership and administration–build on each other to be a greater whole than even the distinguished separate parts.
