Nobel Prize poet Thomas Stearns Eliot '10 was reported resting comfortably in a London Hospital yesterday, after he had been removed from the liner Queen Mary at Southhampton. Returning from an April lecture at the University of Minnesota and from visits to relatives in Cambridge, he was stricken with a coronary late last week while on the high seas.
A doctor at the French Hospital said that the 67-year old poet "won't have to stay here too long--just a few days rest is all he needs now."
