GENEROUS GIVERS
RADIUM FOR LONDON HOSPITAL
TWO GRAMMES PRESENTED British Official Wireless RUGBY, Monday. Two donors have each presented the London Hospital with one gramme of radium. Both desire to remain anonymous. One of them, about three years ago, gave a sum of £50,000 for the purpose of assisting research and investigation into the cause and origin of disease of every kind. This also was given anonymously, and from it has sprung the Freedom Research Fund of London Hospital. The donor has added a sum of £13,000 to his gift of a gramme of radium, and this is to be invested and the income spent in running the radium laboratory for the production of radon and of radon needles.
The radium and the endowment are to form a trust to be known as the Freedom Radium Trust. The other donor has already given more than £70,000 to the London Hospital. It was a mere coincidence that the two gifts, each of one gramme of radium, together worth £24,000, were received simultaneously yesterday by the London Hospital. The anonymous donors are unknown to each other.
