Excerpt from Poems I'r will interest American readers to know that Mr. Noyes was born on the sixteenth day of September, 1880, and published his first poem in the weekly edition of the London Times while in residence at Exeter College, Oxford. That he had other than literary interests is evidenced by the fact that he rowed in' the college eight for three years.
