NEW GIFT TO OXFORD

Extension Of Site

For CollegeTM

The gift by Viscount Nuf- feld of an extension to the site in central Oxford which he has given for the erection of Nuffield College was announced in Convocation by the retiring Vice-Chancellor, Mr. A, D. Lind- say: Master of Balliol

Lord Numeld's gift of £1,000,000 to provide a new college, together with a site of the value of £100,000, was announced a year ago. It was stated that the college would be expressly designed to link research in social studies with the practical demands of modern Bre. -

Mr. Lindsay said that when in July, the architect cussed his preliminary plans with the committee concerned with Nur- field College, it was apparent that it would be difficult, if not impos- sible, to put the buildings required on the site and yet preserve the characteristics of an Oxford col-

lege.

!

"Thereupon." he continued, "Lord Nuffield, with

prompt generosity, offered to present to the University, for the purposes of the College, the remaining part of the land he had bought.”

EFFECT OF PLANNING The site "Lord Nuffield gave to the University for the college com- prised Oxford Canal Wharf in New-road. His new glit will mean that the site will extend over the whole of the area which Lord Nuf- fleld purchased.

The Vice-Chancellor said that the Oxford City Council proposed to change the Kne of the southern-. most part of Worcester-street, and arrangements had to be made with the city about the consequences of that proposal before the exact dimensions of the additions to the site were settled.

וי

"What is certain," he continued, "is that this new generosity of Lord Nuffield will not only make all the difference to the planning of the college, but should add im- mensely to the improvement of the western approach to Oxford if all that site can be planned with scope for both gardens and build- ings."

ADVENTURES OF

TOM SAWYER

Via the genius of David Selznick and the magle of technicolour, Mark Twain's famous characters stepped from the pages of his im-- mortal story and on to the screen of the King's Theatre to-day, where Mr. Selznick's inspired technicolour production, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," had its first showing. Tom Sawyer. Huckleberry Finn, Joe Harper Becky Thatcher, Aunt Polly, Injun Joe, Muff Potter and all the rest came to vivid like again in the little Missouri town along the Mississippi which is where Tom and his friends achieved im- mortality,

REFUGEE TURNS THIEF

Described as a refugee. Tse Kam-cheung, aged 20, was re- manded for 48 hours, by Mr. R. A. D. Forrest at Central Magis- tracy on Saturday when he ad- mitted larceny of two pairs of .socks from a hawker.

Detective-Bergeant MeVey, who prosecuted, said defendant had re- cently arrived in the Colony from Macao and had been guaranteed by the master of a money-changer's shop in West Point, who had said he would take care of him. It was understood, however, that defen- dant was now sleeping in the streets.

"What is the use of the guar- antee?" the Magistrate remarked, "He is now a charge on the Colony." The remand was ordered for the master of the shop to be brought to court.

POISONING ALLEGED

A charge of murder.. was prefer- red on Lau Shuk-hing when he ap peared before Mr. E. Himsworth at the Kowloon Court on Saturday.

Lau was alleged to have adminis- tered, or caused to be administered, a polson or other destructive thing to Yuen Mut, who died on the same day, December 10, 201

Detectivé-Inspector A. E. Carey applied for a remand of seven days which was granted,
