" After luncheon he will be shown the principal points of interest at Yale. He will also be driven by automobile about the city and in other ways his visit here will be made interesting to him." But the plan was changed a little. Courier wrote on 6th Dec;
" The party will go directly to [Hotel] Taft and after remaining there a few moments will visit the several Yale buildings of interest, Sir Rabindranath will have an early dinner, alone, according to the custom of his native country. Later in the day President Arthur T. Hadley will go to the Taft where he will formally greet Tagore, and about 7 o'clock will leave with him for Woolsey Hall.
The Auditorium Hall was decorated decently. " The simplicity of the stage setting at Woolsey hall...was a fitting background for Sir Rabindranath Tagore, when he gave a reading of his poems last evening ....A background of organ pipes in gold and white, high up with a formal row of palms below, a soft green rug and a reader's table with two chairs, put the audience nto a mood to receive this sage of the east."
