£25,000 GIFT
More Generous Benefactions By Lord Nuffield. Press Association—Copyright. Received noon. Sydney, To-day. Lord Nuffield has given £25,000 to the Lord Mayor’s Fund, the largest single donation ever received by that fund. It is announced that £15,000 of the total will go to the metropolitan hospitals, £7500 will go to country hospitals, and £2500 to the Society for Crippled Children. Since his arrival in Australia, Lord Nuffield said that he had discovered that he has many more “relations” than he knew, but they are few compared to the “old school friends.” If all the men who claimed to have gone to school with him had actually done so, he must have been educated in a schoolroom at least 120 yards in length. “Actually,” he said, “I received my education in a room about 12 feet square.”
