 Pável gained a scholarship, was exempted from tuition fees and taught as an assistant professor, where one of his students was Albert Szent-Györgyi, later a Nobel Prize winner in Physiology.On May 15, 1909 he published a critical essay on two disquisitions by Oszkár Asbóth on Slavic-Hungarian speech forms — one which scrutinized Slavic stem words and the mutations of the sounds "j" and "gy" among Hungarian Slovenes, and another on the academic speech of western Hungary, which had been Pável's research focus.The first verses of Pável Ágoston were published (in Hungarian) in the newspaper "Muraszombat és Vidéke" ("Murska Sobota and its district") and (in the Prekmurje dialect of Slovene) in "Novine", "Martijin List" and "Kolendar".
