All Rumors Denied by Pres. Eliot

President Eliot denied yesterday that the newspapers have been given authority to publish any report concerning his reply to President Taft's offer of the Ambassadorship to the Court of St. James. President Eliot said he understood that President Taft had made no statement concerning the matter, and that there was nothing that he cared to say himself on the subject.

Another story which appeared yesterday morning stated that "President Eliot intends to prepare a detailed report of his trip, from an educational point of view." In answer to this he said that he has no such intention and will attend strictly to his College duties until May 19, the date of his retirement.
