TitleLetter from Howard Walter Florey to A D Gardner, Trebetherick, Cornwall
Date5 April 1949
DescriptionCannot contemplate having an independent department inside the building - thinks it is a waste of money to establish a Chair of Cancer Research - can cover anything from viruses to the study of cytological changes - best to establish post within a well-equipped department - comments on this and on Berenblum's work at the Cancer Research Centre, Oxford - difficult to find someone to fill Chair - might establish Readership in the department in cytology - holder could orientate work towards the investigation of cancer - would not want to make Berenblum Reader - Berenblum should be encouraged to find a department of his own.
