It would be hard to fi:.d a school
boy over the age of twelve jv-rs v. ho
iuiu not heard of the name of Wcod-
; o\v Wilson.
Wood row ■ Wilson was hern l:i
Staunton, Virginia, Dcte ilier - ih.
,1856. His father was the Rev. .ir.fpa
R. Wilson and one oi the nv
liueutial churchmen of the south.
At the age of two years his father
moved to Augusta, Georgia, wheri; ho
took charge of one of the largest and
most Influential churches in the
south. Augusta was then a city of
about. 15,000 inhabitants, and it was . .
here that the boyhood of the future ' \W
governor of New Jersey and presi- yff
dent, of Princeton was spent. Jk
Hey,. Wilson moved to Columbia, «'
South Carolina, in the Autumn of I W
1870 and became a teacher in . ^
the Southern Theological Seminary ; /v
whlci' position be held for four years. J"
Wdote^ continued to attend School, ; Vw _ . .
but most of his training was under j H j/ic UA'/a.
the direct supervision of his father,
and in spite of his late years to
start at books he soon qualified for
college and at seventeen he was sent
to Davidson College. North Carolina.
In the autumn of 1875 he entered
Princeton, where be graduated with
the class of 1879. His going north i ]
to college was fortunate, for it gave | !
him at an impressionable age an op-j;
portunity to understand the north-
ern, as well as the southern, point |
of view.
In tfafl autumn of 1883 he wa8 I
I called'to the chair of history and po-
litical economy in Bryn Mawr Col- j
lege. This he held for three ycrrs. ,
when he was called to a similar po-
sition In Wesleyan University He |
remained there two years and was i
called to bis alma mater, Princeton, a.-, |
professor of jurispradeu . . po-
litical economy. Later in 1:;02 he \;aa i
elected president of Princeton— tho I
second oldest university in tho l
United States. Me took his Ph. 1J. ;
decree on examination in 1SSC, sub- ;
mitting as his thesis "Ccms.-^sional 1
Government." This is considered the >
highest degree conferred by institu- ;
tions of learning. I

presidency of Princeton be had been !
fcnovMj. as ia sch«ri4i|,j-Ai tbor and pub'|

an executive. j
In his presidential office he ci-rled
out the Idea of leadership which he
pronounced in his first book, and has
held ever since, in office and out of
office. He proposed something at
Princeton that was a radical change
from the old way; it was the com-
plete i-ttorganization of the university
in such a way as to bring into dsily
•communication and companionship
i representatives of all classes and of
' the faculty. The proposal was
against! the tradition of Princeton^
for it lent toward breaking up the |
self elective clubs. "It sounded
