TitleCopy, letter from A V Hill to Max Born, Department of Natural Philosophy, the University of Edinburgh
Date8 December 1944
DescriptionThinks that anything along the lines of Born's suggestion would be 'quite inappropriate' for the Royal Society - does not think the officers and Council would consider entering the field of 'morals and politics'. Suggests that if scientists wish to have a code of ethics, it would be the duty of a professional body not a learned society. Will show [Born's] letter to the other Officers to see if they agree.
