<h2> PRINCETON </h2>
<p>Mr. Clemens spent several days in May, 1901, in Princeton, New<br/>
Jersey, as the guest of Lawrence Hutton. He gave a reading one<br/>
evening before a large audience composed of university students<br/>
and professors. Before the reading Mr. Clemens said:<br/></p>
<p>I feel exceedingly surreptitious in coming down here without an
announcement of any kind. I do not want to see any advertisements around,
for the reason that I’m not a lecturer any longer. I reformed long ago,
and I break over and commit this sin only just one time this year: and
that is moderate, I think, for a person of my disposition. It is not my
purpose to lecture any more as long as I live. I never intend to stand up
on a platform any more—unless by the request of a sheriff or
something like that.</p>
