Vivian was responsible for organising the censuses in England and Wales in 1921 and 1931.[2] He oversaw National Registration which was introduced in 1939 and ended up replacing the normally decennial census due in 1941. He retired in 1945. Vivian was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in June 1925,[3] and received a knighthood in May 1937.[4] Vivian was brother to Valentine Vivian. Vivian also is the author of the first dictionary of literary terms written in English[5] and other works on literature and literary history.
