DR.. and Mrs. Hall
Had a Pleasant
Wedding, Tour.
VISITED EDUCATIONAL CENTERS.
Many Changes at the In
situations Where DR..
Hall Prepared.

DR.. and Mrs. G. Stanley Hall re-
turned last evening from their wedding
tour abroad, in excellent spirits and the
best of health. DR.. Hall has gained
about 10 pounds In weight. Just be-
fore o'clock last evening, DR.. Hall
announced to the various instructors
under his charge that he should resume
his duties as president Of Clark uni
versity Monday morning. He was
given leave of absence until Thanks
giving, by the trustees of the univer-
sity, but decided to return sooner, hav-
ing recovered entirely from his recent
fatigue. This is the first vacation DR..
han has enjoyed for about ten years,
save an occasional month in the sum-
mer which heopassed in Ashfeld.
Dr. and Mrs. Hall left Worcester the
last of July, directly after the close of
the summer school at the university.
They proceeded at once to Rotterdam,
where they passed a few pleasant days.
The outbound trip was uneventful, and
IS described by DR.. Hall as one of the
most delightful he ever enjoyed
A trip through Holland was like
wise one of much pleasure. This was
followed by a sail up the Rhine. Sew
eral stops were made on the trip. Ed
ucational institutions were visited, and
here DR.. Hall began the collection of
pamphlets of various descriptions.
These pamphlets he treasures very
highly, as they treat eXhaustively on
many subjects not to be found in ordi-
nary publications. They are from the
pen Of eminent specialists and DR.. Hall
returned with an extremely large col
lection which he believes will be of
much use to him in his general work
about Clark university
A tour Of Switzerland was the aext
in DR.. and Mrs. Halls itinerary, and
the doctor described the many beauti-
full scenes he had witnessed in the Alps,
in vivid and interesting manner At
this season he saw the famous noun
tains in their most magnificent garb.
Austria came next and various places
were visited. and the scenes in and
about Vienna proved Of more than pass
ing interest to DR.. and Mrs. Hall, and
they remained there for a few days.
Nuremburg, Dresden, Berlin, Cologne
and Paris were visited and the points
of interest fully studied by Dr. and Mrs.
Hall They then went to England where
all the principal cities were visited.
While the trip was intended wholly
for pleasure. both DR.. and Mrs. Hall
>
educational, all of the institutions of
note were visited. At this particular
time of the year most of the more cele-
brated institutions were closed, save in
some few instances where special ses-
sions were in progress DIR. Hall Seels
grateful that he was not called upon to
make an address during the entire trip.
DR.. Hall noted with pleasure the
many advancements made in the vari-
will u-b iPb ho hoI hao
connected for ten years in Vienna, Leip-
sig and Berlin. Here he renewed ac-
Quaintances with many of the profess
sors under whom he studied. DR.. Hall
first began his studies among these in
stitutlons in 1870. Since that time long
strides have been made in the progress
of education, and at present the insti-
buttons referred to are vastly in excess
of the time Of DR.. Halls first entrance
in 1870
DR., Hall said he could continue in
definitely on the technical changes that
have been made in foreign educational
institutions, but said that this would be
of little interest to the ordinary reader.
Both he and his wife had fine trip,
which was enjoyed immensely, and he
was glad to say that both had prohted
beyond measure in consequence.
The homeward trip was begun the
18th. when DR.. and Mrs. Hall boarded
the steamer New England on the Do
minion line bound for Boston All went
well until Saturday the 14th, when the
New England encountered a heavy
storm. This continued during Sunday
the 18th. Monday the 18th and well into
Tuesday the 18th when the storm
clouds broke away and save a heavy
swell the remainder Of the trip was
pleasant
The captain and crew of the New
England declared the storm was the
worst that this craft had ever encoun-
tered. The good ship rolled and pitched
about in such manner that it was UNI
safe to be about ship. Trunks and val
Uses chased each other about in con-
fusion, and those who made their way
to the dining saloon, and they were few
indeed, did so with the greatest diff
Guilty.
The New England arrived at her Bos-
ton slip about 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon DR.. Hall experienced the usual
delay in the custom house but finally
became clear of the red tape, boarded
a train for Worcester, arrived here at 6
o'clock and an hour later cordially
shook hands with The Spy man.
