He was Secretary of Cambridge University Press from 1922 to 1948, Master of Pembroke College, Cambridge from 1948 to 1958, Vice-Chancellor of University of Cambridge from 1949 to 1951, and Chairman of the British Film Institute from 1952 to 1956.

According to Jon Lellenberg, Roberts is responsible for the popularization of the Sherlockian game of criticism.[6] He was knighted in 1958.[7]
