President Eliot's Trip.

President Eliot returned to Cambridge Sunday afternoon from his western trip. He left about the first of March and went first to Lawrenceville, N. J., where he visited the great preparatory school there. Next he visited Bryn Mawr College, Washington University, of St. Louis, Denver, and the University of Colorado at Boulder. Leaving Colorado he went directly to California. He spent about two weeks in San Francisco and around San Francisco Bay. Thence he went to Southern California, visiting Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside, Redlands, and San Bernadino. At San Bernadino he saw the superintendent of schools, Alex. E. Fry, whose writings upon the teaching of geography are widely known. He then visited Mt. Wilson where Harvard once had an observatory. Afterwards he visited Lick Observatory and saw the fine equipment of Professor Holden. At Santa Cruz he saw some of the big trees of California, many of which were 300 feet high and 60 feet in circumference. After this he went to Leland Stanford Jr. University where he experienced a rather sharp shock of earthquake. From the university he went back to San Francisco and then to Portland, Oregon. During this first month President Eliot made fifteen addresses Leaving Portland he made a very pleasant trip up the Columbia River. After that he went to Tacoma where he made three addresses. Next he went up Puget Sound to Victoria and Vancouver, and there took the Canadian Pacific for home. In almost every city he was entertained by Harvard clubs or by Harvard men.
