OCCUPATION:
Student in Sherborne School.

GENERAL NOTES:
Christopher Collan was a school friend (at Sherbourne School) of Alan TURING (1912-1954) who broke the Enigma Code in World War II. An actor played the part of Christopher in a play about TURING's life which was on at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, London in 1987. It was called 'Breaking the Code' by Hugh WHITEMORE. Christopher was also portrayed sympathetically in the excellent 2014 film "The Imitation Game"Christopher and Alan met in 1928. Christopher, then about 17, was a year ahead of Turing, but they shared a common enthusiasm for matthematics and science . The following is a quotation from a gay online website Polari Magazine and is consistent with other accounts I have read of the relationship:When they were together,” David Leavitt writes, "the boys were more likely to talk about relativity and the value of p – which Turing, in his spare time, had calculated to thirty-six decimal points – than about poetry. Despite their seemingly dry subject matter, these conversations hummed, at least for Turing, with poetic intensity"” It was an unrequited love, by all accounts, but it was no less significant for that. Christopher Morcom changed Alan Turing. The distracted and somewhat lonely boy was no longer alone; now he had someone to look up to, and someone he wanted to impress. As a scientist, Morcom was careful. Turing, who was raw enthusiasm, unbound, was careless. Morcom taught him to be methodical, which is something his schooling had failed to do. There was a focus and a drive that had not been there before, and his schoolmasters, who had previously been dismayed at his work, were astonished by the change. As Turing later wrote, Morcom “had a great power in practical work of finding out just what was the best way of doing anything.”In the early hours of February 7, 1930, Turing had a premonition of Morcom’s death. The abbey clock struck a quarter to three, and he looked out of the window and saw the setting moon, which he suddenly knew was a “goodbye to Morcom”. That same night Christopher Morcom was taken ill with tuberculosis, and on February 13 he died.Turing was devastated. Yet on 16 Feb he wrote to his mother, “I feel sure that I shall meet Morcom again somewhere and that there will be some work for us to do together.” Turing’s writing about Morcom in the years following his death betrays all the hallmarks of adolescent love. “It never seems to have occurred to me to make other friends besides Morcom, he made everyone else seem so ordinary,” he wrote in a letter to Morcom’s mother. The loss fixed Morcom, and the very idea of love, in a romantic ideal; as Leavitt notes, there was no chance for this love to sour, and for reality to set in. “Perhaps as a result, he spent much of the rest of his short life seeking to replicate this great and unfulfilled love.” What is certain is that the death of his friend had a decisive effect on Turing’s creative mind, and he developed a mystical attitude toward Morcom, as well as toward death and the idea of the spirit."Christopher was at school when he became ill (TB meningitis? - he had suffered with TB as a child) and died about 9 days later in London. Christopher was a brilliant scholar and had worked at home in his father's private laboratory. he was awarded the Digby Maths & Science Medals at Sherborne School. Elected scholar Trinity, Cambridge.Two chapters of Andrew HODGES' book "Alan TURING: The Enigma" have numerous detailed reference to the friendsip with Christopher MORCOM and his subsequent continuing freindship with Mrs MORCOM and her family
Andrew HODGES in "Alan TURING - A Short Biography" gives the following points about Christopher:At Sherborne School "Turing's private notes on the theory of relativity would do credit to a modern graduate student, yet he was almost prevented from sitting the School Certificate lest he shame the school with failure. But it appears thatthe stimulus for effective communication and competition came only from contact with another very able youth, a year ahead of him at Sherborne, to whom Turing found himself powerfully attracted in 1928. He, Christopher Morcom, gave Turing a vitalperiod of intellectual companionship - which ended with Morcom's sudden death in Feb.1930.Turing's conviction that he must now do what Morcom could not, apparently sustained him through a long crisis. For three years at least, as we know from his letters to Morcom's mother, his thoughts turned to the question of how the human mind, and Christopher's mind in particular, was embodied in matter; and whether it could be released from matter by death." This was linked in his mind to Eddington's work on quantum-mechanical theory.In December 1929, they went together to Cambridge to sit the entrance examinations. Morcom got a scholarship, the younger Turing did not. Christopher died two months later. Turing later got a scholarship to King's College, Cambridge.
