LORD NUFFIELD IN MELBOURNE MANY CLAIM RELATIONSHIP. “OLD SCHOOL FRIENDS.” MELBOURNE, Feb. 9. Lord Nuffield has given £25,000 to the Lord Mayor's fund, the largest single donation ever received by tnat fund. It is announced that £15,000 of the total will go to metropolitan hospitals, £7500 to country hospitals, and £2500 to the Society for Crippled Children. Since his arrival in Australia Lord Nuffield said he had discovered he has many more “relations" than he knew, but they were few compared with “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.”
