TitleLetter from A V Hill to E B Worthington, Keen Ground, Hawkshead, Westmorland
Date14 April 1945
Description'If the practical applications of science are to prosper a certain number of good scientific men must be sacrificed, so far as their personal contributions to research are concerned, in order to organise and administer the promotion of research' - thinks however that they should not stay in such jobs for too long. Is glad that the Royal Society keeps its Officers for only a short time. Discusses Worthington's plans for East Africa and the pros and cons of research vs administration.
