ktatlou policemen to the President's
room.
On both aides of the police lines the

ehuctts Aenue. Kach studnit carried
a traeling bap or suit case. .-nd wore

The first glance that the crowd out
side the station got of the Presldent
eleet was througli the dim recesses of
the President's room. Gov Wllon was
csrortcd bv Chairman Kustl. and was
immedlatelj preceded In --tvcral faecret
Service mert. Mrs. "Wilson, accom
panied liv Dr. Page, next entered the

about twenty paces. The Misses Wil

corted be Theodore Noves, lce chair
man of the reception committee, and
took up their positions In the corner
near the door.
The members of the reception com

wall of the room, and came forward
one bv one and were presented. Dr.
Page performed the introductions to
the President-elect, and Col. Cosby, as

senting the wite of the next President.
The gravity and dignity of the President-elect
was particularly noted by
those In the room. The Introduction
was acknowledged with a. smile and a
Arm pressure of the hand, but there
was no effusive greeting; and no con
versation with the members of the
committee. There were present a num
ber of men who have known the President-elect,
but even for such he had
only the pleasant smile, the Inclina
tion of ihe head, and the handshake.
The. Introduction over, the Secret Serv-
flce men again lead the way through the
front door where a group or newspaper
men and camera experts waited. The
Princeton students had formed another
lane leading from the door down the
driveway. The Governor raised his hat
and met tho salutations of the news
paper men with one of Ills quick smiles
and then started to enter the President's
car when the camera men put In a pro
test. Mr. Wilson knows the wavs of
photographers of old and with a slight
smile he took his place and the ma
chines clicked.
He then took s place on the rear
seat in the Presidential automobile next
to his wife, and Mr. Kustls and Dr. Pig"
took seat in the front As the auto
mobile started forward there was a ring
ing cheer from the line of Princeton
men and the cheer leader Jumping In be
tween the lines started tho students oft
Into the booming cheer that the President-elect
has so often heard.
The next automobile was quickly filled.
The three daughters of Mr. Wilson were
helped In by CoL Birch, personal aid of
the Governor, and t'ol Cosb, and then
they taking their seats In the car. It fol
lowed tlie President-elect.
The third vehicle contained Mrs Howe,
the sister of Mr. Wilson, her daughter.
T. W. Noyes, and Lieut. Greble. Prof
Axton. Messrs. Woodrow, Ray, and
Howe, and Lieut. Rodgers formed the
party In the fourth automobile, and the
members of the Princeton student com
mittee and the newspaper men took the
next nine machines and followed the van
rapidlj.
"WnlO House naby."
One of the most Interested members of
the party was Miss Josephine Wilson
