POETS WORD GOOD ENOUGH

Student Wu Absolutely Satisfied Without the Neceraity of Seeing Any Proofs, A good story is gding the rounds of Princeton about Prof. Alfred Noyes, the English poet. 1 Professor Noyes, It Is well known, likes very much to read his works aloud to his friends, and at Princeton, with so many young men under him, he Is usually able to gratify this liking to the full. The other day Professor Noyes said to a Junior, who had called about an examination: “Walt a moment. Don’t go yet. I want to show yon the proofs of my' Tw book of poems.” But the Junior made for the dod frantically. “No, no,” he said, “I don’t need proofs. Your word is enough for me, professor.”
