Miss Theresa Trorap, studying for
a doctor’s degree in philosophy at Co
lumbia university, walked 3.000 miles
from her home in Ferndale, Wash., to
the college in New’ York in order that
she might obtain a degree from an
eastern college. Miss Tromp left her
home in the early spring, and on the
way slept with Indian squaws in their
reservation and jumped freight trains
and had many other interesting ex
periences. She gave a “wild west”
party to the girls when she arrived
at the college.
