Professor Winterton
George Winterton was ultimately promoted to professor of law at the University of New South Wales, who awarded him a Jubilee Medallion in 1999. In 2004 he became the inaugural Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Sydney, where he taught Federal Constitutional Law, High Court of Australia, and Comparative Constitutional Law. He did not sever his ties with the University of New South Wales, which recognised his service by appointing him Emeritus Professor in 2004. His ill-health resulted in his early "retirement", and appointment as Honorary Professor at the University of Sydney, but he continued to teach, research and publish.
The University of Western Australia awarded him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws in 2007.

Famous quotes containing the word professor:
“At about that time I was once sitting at my place and whispering—it was naughty, I know—with my neighbor. Then you, Herr Professor Rudner, got up from your desk, came calmly down the aisle to me: “Did you speak?” and slapped me smack in the face. And I—the fury is inside me to this day—I didn’t hit back. Such were the methods of objectivity.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
