ALS Ednah Dow Cheney Papers MB. ~ Julia Ward Howe (~8~g-~g~o) was active in the abolitionist, peace, and woman-suffrage movements. She was also a poet and essayist of distinction and composer of ''The Battle Hymn of the Republic.'' 2 It may have been at this time that Julia Ward Howe and six feminist companions visited Atlanta University and Tuskegee Institute. Mrs. Howe later recounted the experience. Arriving at night, they revived their spirits in the balmy air on the long ride from the Chehaw station. ''Mr. Booker T. Washington stood ready to usher us into a pleasant sitting room, with such an open fire as one sees only in the land of 'far wood.' '' The cooking class served a supper it had prepared. Then they went to the chapel, where the students greeted them with the Chautauqua salute and spirituals, and some of the visitors spoke. Next day they visited classes. ''We had found daintiness, order, thrift, and industry, and moreover, good English, good manners, and good taste.''
