There is a letter to Himmelweit dated 22 November 1947 from Dennis Brinton, Dean of St. Mary's Hospital Medical School, informing him that the St. Mary's Committee declined to forward his application for a chair to the University of London. More than this, the Committee would not even forward his nomination for a readership (associate professorship)! From the Fred Himmelweit papers in the possession of his daughter, Susan Himmelweit.
