WIT OF PRESIDENT WOODROW

New Head of Princeton Makes Himself Popular With Students. A Princeton man tells of an incident of Dr. Woodrow Wilson's elevation to the presidency of Princeton which he regards as Indicative of the way in which lie will hold the fctudents in leash by ready wit and a genial smile instead of trying to awe them with

his dignity.

When darkness lent cover to the project, on the evening of the day -on which the announcement of Dr. Wilson's election was made, some of the more boisterous spirits organized a celebration, and having requisitioned horns and a green grocer's stock of head lettuce, descended upon the new

When toe students recovered from this unexpected overthrow of their plans some one shouted: "What's the matter with Woodrow Wilson?" . And the answer came loud < and
