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 following 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.
E. H. Angert, St. Louis.
Gouverneur Calhoun, St. Louis.
W. M. Chauvenet, St. Louis.
H. G. Cleveland, St. Louis.
Mr. M. B. Clopton, St. Louis.
Walter Fischel, St. Louis.
W. L. R. Gifford, St. Louis.
E. M. Grossman, St. Louis.
L. W. Hagerman, St. Louis.
Louis La Beaume, St. Louis.
Carl H. Lagenburg, St. Louis.
Sears Lehmann, St. Louis.
G. F. Paddock, St. Louis.
T. G. Rutledge, St. Louis.
Luther Ely Smith, St. Louis.
J. Clarence Taussig, St. Louis.
C. E. L. Thomas, St. Louis.
W. M. Tompkins, St. Louis.
G. T. Weitzel, 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 Münsterberg, 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.
