Letter from H N Green, Pathology Department, University of Sheffield to Howard Walter Florey Thanks for letter about distinction awards - has been trying to collect data - some professors of pathology have been given awards on basis of clinical responsibility - comments on awards to clinical professors and to senior clinical pathologists - discusses effect of awards on recruitment to departments like his and Florey's - agrees with Florey's view about being paid more than colleagues - in provincial university, would accept distinction award, if offered - comments on reasons for this - does not know what can be done about the question - thinks they might write to Minister of Health pointing out the deplorable effect such awards will have on medical science. 18 June 1951
