Poppleton University's appointment of Henrik Ibsen (The Poppletonian, 11 October) reminded me of another unlikely university appearance from the early 1970s. On the request of a student, a public-address request was put out at the University of Exeter's Devonshire House for "Mr Jean-Paul Sartre to please go to the Porters' Desk". The porter behind the voice, the inestimable Steve Jefferys, later laughed with the rest of us.
