COLLEGE GIRLS HERE
TENNESSEE STUDENTS INVADE
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

The two hundred and fifty young women
from Radnor College, Nashville. Tenn, who
are on a tour OF prominent cities, arrived
in the city last evening shortly after s
o'clock in special coaches over the Penn
sylvania railroad from New York. The
party was in charge of President and Mrs.
Eshmann and Miss n. A. Moseley, the lat
ter directress of the college. On account of
several trains leaving at the hour when
the Radnor special pulled into the 9th street
station, there was a great mass of human
fty gathered about the gates, causing some
confusion: but as soon the Radnor Col
lege girls had disembarked from the train
they were assembled in line two by two"
and after a brief wait they took UP the
line of march, following the president of
the college and his wife. Each of the
girls wore a mortar board" upon her
head and the long line of college "headgear''
attracted instant and undivided attention.
A reporter of The Star. from his vantage
point within the gates, kept tally and is OF
the opinion that all are accounted for since
not less than the announced go passed the
station portals.
The entire party travels upon one rail-
road ticket which cost SS,659 30 and was
the second largest ever sold out of Nash
vile, Tenn.
After leaving the station the party board
ed the cars of the Capital Traction Com
pany at the corner of 9th street and Penn
sylvania avenue and proceeded to the Bur-
ton Hotel, where the members of the party
are registered. Westinghouse who were
seated In the cars when the stop at the
corner was made CALAMITY left their seats
and appropriated the standing room upon
the opposite running board in order to give
the visitors all of the space they required
No stops occurred until the corner of North
Capitol and c streets was reached, at
which point the girls left the cars and pro-
ceeded to the hotel. They expect to re-
main in the city about twenty days.
Object Of the Trip.
1t is stated that the faculty of Radnor
recognizes Washington as the educational
center of the nation. and the trip is made
as means of acquiring knowledge. 1t is
declared that other colleges might profit
ably follow the example of this institution
in bringing students here for study and
recreation.
This small army Of attractive young wom-
en- will doubtless receive a hearty welcome
In this city. In return, 1t is said to be
within their power to do much toward the
building up Of Greater Washington, as
they can use their efforts to persuade rep
resentatives in Congress from their section
to deal more literally with the commercial
interests of Washington They can encour
age better commercial relations between
the business men of the capital and those
of their home sections, and it is said to be
the hope of the Radnor College faculty
that each of the young ladies when she
goes to her home will consider herself
personal representative of Greater Wash
ington.
The balance of the schedule for the party
is: Thursday, October 4, leave Washington.
arrive Baltimore leave Baltimore arrive
PittSburg, leave Pittsburg; Friday, October
8. arrive Cincinnati, leave Cincinnati, arrive
Nashville.
