Whatever may be said about New

don Duftield seems to prove that there
is lot Of food in them Gordon is
growing boy of seventeen and has
four years to wait before he inherits
million dollars Not only did Gordon
hnd the rich atmosphere of restau-
rant more to his liking than the dull
routine Of school, but no doubt discov-
cred it to be easier to learn French
off menu card than to grind it out of

Gordon is son of Mrs. Graham
Dufheld, of ST North Dearborn Street,
Chicago, and nephew of the late Gen
eral Gordon Dufield, of Detroit. who
left the $1,000,00o the boy is to have
when he is twenty-one. Mrs. Dufficld
came to New York yesterday morning
and notified the police that her son
had run away from the Groszman
School, in Plainfield, last October.

Mrs. Duffield said to detectives yester-

next news l received from him was
contained in letter mailed from the

Gordon said he was doing fairly we'll,

The letter did not say what branch
Of the food purveying business Cor

was situated The detectives said
they would probably find him before

Gordon will be able to buy a res

The boy is described by his mather
as being five feet ten inches in height

NEW YORK, TUESDAY, FEB. 2s, 1922

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY
The outright gift by the General Educa-
ton Board Of $500, 600 to New York Uni
versity, is both significant and unusual. 1t
is made, as President Buttrick of the Cen
eral Education Board states, in recognition
Of the value OF the university's part-time
and overtime instruction which enables
young working men and women to obtain
college education. The gift is made without
condition, not for endowment or for build
ings, but for assisting the university to meet
its outstanding obligations. 1t has been for
the last three years living within its income,
but has found itself hampered by interest
charges. This generous contribution will
give release from this burden.
The action Of the General Education
Board was due to it's conviction Of the
great importance to the community Of the
work that New York University is doing"
Thus highly competent board shows the
highest kind of confidence in this institu-
ton by paying its debts. A better cerh-
fcate the university could not have. 1t Is
particularly gratifying that New York
University may now hope to realize it's larger
plans. Commissioner Graves emphasized,
in his address before the Superintendent in
Chicago yesterday, the particular need which
the New York University seeks to meet.
