His background was a BA in PPP from Oxford (1950) and an MA in Psychology from Berkeley California (1951).

It was virtually the only course in the country designed with this aim in mind. Garth took a great interest in this course and helped build up a constituency of support for it within the University. He was also the first editor of the Journal of Social Policy (1972-77) and then moved to be chairman of the editorial board (1977-80). He played a crucial role in establishing the journal as one of the most widely respected in the subject. His main outside interest has always been music. He is an accomplished amateur pianist and composer and has had one of his compositions for the piano performed at a public concert.
