On 2nd June he read " The message of the Forest" in Berlin University at 12 O'clock.The arrangement of selling tickets was made. All the tickets were sold. The persons willing to attend the lecture but could not get tickets, assembled there two hours before the scheduled time and managed to take their seats on the road and the staircase of the hall.The rush was so huge that it took more than an hour for Rabindranath to reach the stage. Some papers of England reported the news ironically under the capsion " Girl Students Trampled on in rush to Hear Rabinhdranath" and said;
" Scenes of frenzied hero worship marked a public lecture given by Sir Rabindranathy Tagore to-day at Berlin University. In the rush for seats many girl students fainted and were trampled on by the crowd.
So great was the enthusiasm which greeted Tagore that the famous theologian Harnack, who presided, had difficulty in obtaining order. A promise that the lecture will be repeated tomorrowfailed to satisfy hundred of students who were unable to obtain admittance to the lecture room, and eventually the police had to be summoned to eject them from the University."
The other view was also focussed.
