Joins in College Song.
II was the longest special train that
ever pulled out of Princeton. As It
pulled out the president elect stood on
the platform of the last of the fourteen
cars, silk hat in hand, and as he looked
down on the mass of futtering hand
kerchiefs and banners. the smile on
his lips vanished and as the train gain
ed headway his lips were moving. The
crowd at his feet heard him join in
the singing of the college anthem:
Her sons shall give while they shall
live three cheers for old Nassau"
AS the train disappeared Princeton
saw him, still standing uncovered, his
nat waving rythmically to the chorus
of the beloved song.
Long before the hour set for the de-
parture, students lined the way from
the campus To the station and were
gathered nearly thousand strong
around the steel cars. Townsmen Were
there In great numbers. The crisp
sharp wind set the banners fluttering
merrily.

of yells.

handshaking leather lunged Prince
tonian, who seemed To be in charge of
affairs grabbed megaphone and gave
the order "all aboard The three loco
putting, and the long line of cars
inched slowly out of the yards.

twenty-five suit cases and trunks be-
longing to Wilson and his party ON
the personal baggage of the next pres
ident was written, in his own hand
writing Woodrow Wilson, White
House." There was no other address
and Wilson laughingly said he consid-
cred this sufficient. The only thing
that seemed to annoy Wilson was the
high hat He said he never would wear
one when he could avoid it. and this
was an unavoidable occasion.
