Acquisition note

The following miscellaneous letters were sent by Professor Hill to the Wellcome Institute Library in several batches between 1955-1970. A few typed carbon copies of Hill's replies are included. The letters were assigned library accession numbers prior to transfer to the Contemporary Medical Archives Centre and these have been included in the list for reference. There are two letters from Ivan Pavlov: the second, dated 13 Feb 1929 was presumably to A.V. Hill and evidently given to the Wellcome Institute separately. One letter from Stephen Paget to Prof. Starling has been placed at the end of the list, as have photocopies of Royal Society of Medicine dinner signatures. Photocopies of additional correspondence given by Hill in 1970 are also placed at the end.

Biographical note

A.V. Hill was Professor of Physiology at the University of Manchester (1920-23) and University College London (1923-25) and Secretary of the Royal Society from 1935. He incorporated the liberation of energy in muscles and in 1922 shared the Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine with Otto Meyerhof.
