Enough for Nuffield

Sir William Richard Morris, ist Baron of Nuffield, who last year brought tears of joy to the eyes of Oxonians with a gift of $10,000,000 for a medical centre and $500,000 for the Bodleian Library, had previously given $700,000 for an infirmary. Last week he tossed Oxford University another $6,500,000. He gave $1,000,000 for more medical research, $500,000 to buy a site for a new school of physical chemistry, $5,000,000 for a new college for social studies. Thereupon, the onetime bicycle mechanic, now the Henry Ford of Great Britain, who has given $55,000,000 to British education and charity and still has some $100,000,000 left, announced he would give no more. Giving, said he, "is very nice," but each fresh benefaction brings him 300 begging letters daily. Complained Lord Nuffield: "It has caused me 500% more trouble since I started than my business."
