22 THE HISTORY OF THE CONGRESS 



of Chicago. The arrivals at St. Louis were made on Saturday the 17th 

 and Sunday the 18th of September. Many of the participants had 

 arrived at earlier dates, and fully twenty of the speakers were mem- 

 bers of the International Jury of Awards for their respective countries, 

 and had been in St. Louis since September 1, the beginning of the 

 Jury work. 



A reception committee similar to that in New York was also 

 formed at St. Louis from the members of the University Club, and 

 their duties were to meet all incoming trains and conduct the members 

 of the Congress personally to their stopping-places, and assist them 

 in all matters of detail. This committee was comprised of the follow- 

 ing members, nearly all of the University Club, who performed 

 their work efficiently and enthusiastically to the great satisfaction 

 of the Exposition and to the thorough appreciation of the foreign 

 guests : - 



V. M. Porter, Chairman, St. Louis. Carl H. Lagenburg, St. Louis. 



E. H. Angert, St. Louis. Sears Lehmann, St. Louis.

W. M. Chauvenet, St. Louis. T. G. Rutledge, St. Louis.

The itinerary of the foreign speakers after leaving St. Louis at the 

 end of the Congress took them on appointed trains to Washington, 

 where they were given an official reception by President Roosevelt 

 and a reception by Dr. Simon Newcomb, President of the Congress. 

 From here they proceeded to Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., 

 where they were given a reception by Prof. Hugo Miinsterberg, 

 and were entertained as guests of Harvard University. Thence the 

 great majority of the speakers returned to New York, where they 

 were the guests of Columbia University, and were given a farewell 

 dinner by the Association of Old German Students. Many of the 

 speakers, however, visited other portions of the country before 

 returning to Europe. 



The foreign speakers while in St. Louis were considered the guests 

 of the Exposition Company, and were relieved from all care and 

 expense for rooms and entertainment. Those who were accompanied 

 by their wives and daughters were entertained by prominent St. Louis 

 families, and those who came singly were quartered in the dormitory 

 of the Washington University, which was set aside for this purpose 

 during the week of the Congress. The dormitory arrangement proved 

 a very happy circumstance, as nearly one hundred foreign and Amer-
