Haggai was a Hebrew prophet during the building of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, one of the twelve minor prophets in the Hebrew Bible and the author of the Book of Haggai. He is known for his prophecy in 520 BCE, his name means "my holiday." He was the first of three post-exile prophets from the Neo-Babylonian Exile of the House of Judah, who belonged to the period of Jewish history which began after the return from captivity in Babylon. Scarcely anything is known of his personal history, he may have been one of the captives taken to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar. He began God’s prophesy about sixteen years after the return of the Jews to Judah; the work of rebuilding the temple had been put to a stop through the intrigues of the Samaritans. After having been suspended for eighteen years, the work was resumed through the efforts of Haggai and Zechariah, they exhorted the people, which roused them from their lethargy, induced them to take advantage of a change in the policy of the Persian government under Darius I.

The name Haggai, with various vocalizations, is found in the Book of Esther, as a eunuch servant of the Queen. Haggai prophesied about the people needing to complete building the Temple; the new Temple was bound to exceed the awesomeness of the previous Temple. He claimed if the Temple was not built there would be poverty and drought affecting the Jewish nation. There is a controversy regarding. According to scholars, they credit it to his students. However, Jewish Tradition believe; the Men of the Great Assembly are traditionally known for continuing the work of Nehemiah. Haggai supported the officials of his time Zerubbabel, the governor, Joshua the High Priest. In the Book of Haggai, God refers to Zerubbabel as "my servant" as King David was, says he will make him as a "signet ring," as King Jehoiachin was; the signet ring symbolized a ring worn on the hand of Yahweh, showing that a king held divine favour. Thus, Haggai is implicitly, but not explicitly, saying that Zerubbabel would preside over a restored Davidic kingdom.

The Persian Empire was growing weak, Haggai saw time as an opportunity to restore the Davidic Kingdom. He believed that the Kingdom of David was able to take back their part in Jewish issues. Haggai’s message was directed to the nobles and Zerubbabel, as he would be the first Davidic monarch restored, he saw this as important worship. Haggai, in rabbinic writing, is referred to as one of the men of the Great Assembly; the Babylonian Talmud mentions a tradition concerning the prophet Haggai, saying that he gave instruction concerning three things: that it is not lawful for a man whose brother married his daughter to consummate a levirate marriage with one of his deceased brother's co-wives. On the Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendar, Haggai is commemorated as a prophet, his feast day is 16 December. He is commemorated, in common with the other righteous persons of the Old Testament, on the Sunday of the Holy Fathers. Haggai is commemorated with the other Minor prophets in the Calendar of saints of the Armenian Apostolic Church on 31 July.

Richard Henry Tizard was a distinguished engineer and founding Fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge. The 1960s were a period of turbulence in academic governance, Cambridge students did not revolt less than their peers at LSE and elsewhere. Tizard came from a family of high achievers with a productive stubborn streak, he used his political skills to marshal his grammar and public school intake behind a programme of historic renewal and reform in the University. In 1969, he led his colleagues to accept students into membership of the College Council and to admit women, the first Cambridge men's college to do so. In 1970 Churchill's student union, the Junior Common Room, inspired by the worldwide student democracy movement, led the NUS in taking the Cambridge Town Clerk to the High Court to overturn a 19th-century precedent that denied students the right to vote in their university towns; this new interpretation of electoral law was made possible by the Labour Government's Sixth Reform Act. As Senior Tutor, Tizard pioneered outreach.

After his retirement, he discussed with non-resident members of the JCR the possibility of their extending his outreach activity to 30 primary schools.
