From Louisville Rabindranath came to Nashville of Tennessee State. One journalist got the chance of accompanying Rabindranath in train and even after that. In his writings he seemed to be entranced;
" The East and the West could never have met under conditions more typical of the two hemispheres than at the present, when the figure of Tagore, moves with silent majesty, through the noise and confusion of presidential election times in the United States."
Rabindranath became glad at the victory of Wilson as he thought that Mr. Wilson was an idealist.
Rabindranath took his shelter in Hotel Hermitage in Nashville and read the essay " The Cult of Nationalism" in Vendome Theatre on 8th Nov organised by Cintinnial Club. Before this program he participated in a seminar on the subject "His ideals in Education" at 5 pm.
A local paper Banner wrote on 9th Nov;
" It was a company of congenial selection, and they listened with keen and close interest as Sir Rabindranath told in an intimate and colourful way of the school, which is operated rather "through want of system than any particular method", he said, smiling . His principles of education do not embrace set curriculumor plans of grading and examination.
