Interesting article -i wonder when was the last time anything was donated?

Are there any philanthropists around today or are they a thing of the past...

My mum did her thesis at Lancaster Uni. on Joseph Briggs and the Haworth Tiffany collection -must ask her what happened to it..

(Love the name by the way -shame it wasn't spelt Jenny (W)rennie!
At Uni. we had a graduate tutor called Bede Rundle (a philosopher) -obviously everyone called him Reed Bundle!)
