APRIL 2000 CONTENTS PIONEERS GUEST BOOK As president, Woodrow Wilson laid the groundwork for today's United Nations. APRIL 2000 Pioneers of Advocacy In a League of His Own By Dale Keiger Thomas Woodrow Wilson (PhD 1886) was the first U.S. president with a doctorate, but that's not why he's celebrated here. What put him on our list was his staunch advocacy of a set of principles that led to the League of Nations, principles that remain as current today as they were in 1919. After his stint at Hopkins, Wilson went on to be a professor, president of Princeton University, governor of New Jersey, and finally the occupant of the Oval Office in 1912. As U.S. president, his legislative agenda led to the establishment of the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Reserve Board. He kept the country out of World War I until Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare and other factors exhausted his patience and forced his hand, leading to a declaration of war in 1917. After the war, Wilson formulated his Fourteen Points peace proposal. Several of the points still resonate powerfully: open public diplomacy with no secret agreements, freedom of navigation, the removal of trade barriers between nations, reduction of arms to the lowest possible point, and "a general association of nations...for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike." The last was the idea undergirding the League of Nations. The League didn't fare too well, hamstrung by many factors including the failure of the U.S. Congress to ratify the Treaty of Versailles. It ceased activity during the Second World War, but the concept was revived in 1946 with the founding of the United Nations.

Inaugural Address Quick Facts The Presidents EA Contents WOODROW WILSON Biography Woodrow (Thomas) Wilson, 28th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES of the United States: b. Staunton, Va., Dec. 28, 1856; d. Washington, D.C., Feb. 3, 1924. He was the son of Joseph Ruggles Wilson, who was the pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Staunton, Va. The elder Wilson accepted a call to Augusta, Ga., in 1857. "My earliest recollection," Woodrow Wilson said long afterward, "is of standing at my father's gateway in Augusta, Georgia, when I was four years old, and hearing someone pass and say that Mr. LINCOLN was elected and there was to be war." Joseph Ruggles Wilson, a strong southern sympathizer even though he had grown up in Ohio, was a chaplain in the Confederate Army. His son saw only the backwash of war, but he never forgot its terror or the lessons that it taught. Early Life The Wilsons moved to Columbia, S.C., in 1870, when Dr. Wilson accepted a professorship at the Columbia Theological Seminary. Columbia was still partly a burned ruin, and Radical Republicans ruled in the state capitol. But life was remarkably normal for the growing boy. He learned much from his brilliant father, continued his schooling, and joined the church in 1873. The following autumn he entered Davidson College in North Carolina. Because of illness Wilson stayed with his family in Wilmington, N.C., to which they had just moved, during 1874 and part of 1875. In September 1875 he entered the College of New Jersey, now Princeton University. He was a conscientious if not brilliant student (he stood midway in his class), and he read widely in the classics and fell in love with history. An ardent debater, he also wrote for college magazines.

The Vice-Presidents The Presidents EA Contents THOMAS R. MARSHALL Biography Thomas Riley Marshall, (1854-1925), the 28th VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES . He was born in North Manchester, Ind., on March 14, 1854. He graduated from Wabash College in 1873, studied law, and was admitted to the Indiana bar in 1875, practicing his profession at Columbia City. In 1908 he was elected governor of Indiana; his administration was progressive. Several laws Marshall sponsored, including an employers' liability law and a child labor law, were enacted, but he failed to have a new state constitution adopted. At the Democratic National Convention in Baltimore in 1912, Marshall was the favorite-son candidate of Indiana for the presidency. When Woodrow WILSON was nominated for that office, Marshall was chosen for the vice presidency. Reelected in 1916, he served with Wilson until 1921. As presiding officer of the SENATE , he enjoyed much popularity, becoming known for his humorous remarks. In 1917, during a Senate debate on the country's needs, he said, "What this country needs is a good five-cent cigar." While Wilson attended the peace conference after World War I, Marshall presided over cabinet meetings, the first vice president to do so. During Wilson's serious illness, beginning in late 1919, Marshall considered the possibility of declaring himself acting president. But he decided not to do so, partly because he feared that his action would divide the country. He died in Washington, D.C., on June 1, 1925.

W oodrow W ilson H ouse The life and times of President Woodrow Wilson are captured in this National Historic Landmark. Scholar, educator, governor, statesman and the only former president to make his home in the nation's capitol, Wilson retired to the Embassy Row section of Washington in 1921. In leading the United States through World War I, as welll as working tirelessly to establish the League of Nations, Wilson expanded America's role in international af fairs and placed the country in a position of world leadership. The red brick Georgian Revival town house is rich in the legacy of Wilson's remarkable career. The house at 2340 S Street, N.W., was designed in 1915 by architect Waddy B. Wood and was purchased by the President in 1920 as a surprise for his second wife, Edith Bolling Wilson. Following a Scottish tradition, Wilson presented his wife with a small p iece of sod from the garden and the key to the front door. Here the Wilsons entertained prominent visitors, including David Lloyd George and Georges Clemenceau, read books from their extensive library, enjoyed movies and often went for rides through Rock Creek Park and into the Virginia coutryside.

Woodrow Wilson's Administration By Paul Dean "Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy" F. Scott Fitzgerald Often it is difficult to determine whether a man is significant because of his own deeds or because he happened to be in the right place at the right time. Woodrow Wilson certainly presided over the nation at a memorable time, but his actions were significant and his policies still influence the United States today. His life is more a thought of what could have been, then what came to pass. Still, despite the inconsistencies, errors, and hesitations, Wilson's style and principles were unique. This enables his legacy to shine beyond the shadow of tragedy. From Princeton to President Wilson's rise to power was extraordinary. Few have risen from relative obscurity to world prominence so quickly. In 1909 he was the president of a small, struggling university, in 1918 he was the world's one hope for lasting peace. In 1909 Wilson's progressive programs and innovations as president of Princeton University attracted the attention of the Democratic political machine. They helped elect him Governor of New Jersey, but learned to regret it. Instead of following orders Wilson ended up cleaning house and riding the state house of much deep-seeded corruption. Presidential aspirations cut his tenure as Governor short. His writing, oratory skills, and progressive accomplishments gave him enough visibility to attract Democrats looking for a national leader. A speaking tour designed to test the waters was a rousing success and Governor Wilson stepped into national politics.

Home Historical Minutes April 12, 1907 Woodrow Wilson's Changing Views of the Senate In 1906, the president of Columbia University invited the president of Princeton University to deliver a series of lectures on American government. On April 12, 1907, Columbia students turned out to hear Princeton President Woodrow Wilson discuss the United States Senate. In the twenty years since he had prepared his doctoral dissertation on Congress without ever visiting Congress, Wilson had gained considerable first-hand experience with the Senate. In 1907, he viewed the body with a spirit of cordiality and toleration. "There is no better cure for thinking disparagingly of the Senate than a conference with men who belong to it, to find out how various, how precise, how comprehensive their information about the affairs of the nation is; and to find, what is even more important, how fair, how discreet, how regardful of public interest they are." Wilson noted sympathetically the "unmistakable condescension with which the older members of the Senate regard the President of the United States." Senior senators treat him "at most as an ephemeral phenomenon," because they have served longer than presidents and their "experience of affairs is much mellower than the President's can be; [they look] at policies with steadier vision than the President's; the continuity of the government lies in the keeping of the Senate more than in the keeping of the executive, even in respect to matters which are of the especial prerogative of the presidential office. A member of longstanding in the Senate feels that he is the professional, the President an amateur."

This section lists the events of the year 1917, the fourth year of the war . This year saw the adoption by the German high command of the disastrous policy of unrestricted submarine warfare - disastrous in that it brought about America's entry into the war within the space of a couple of months, and ultimately led to her downfall the following year. Meanwhile the British launched a major offensive at Passchendaele in autumn 1917: as at the Somme the previous year it proved a highly costly failure. 1917 also saw Russia's exit from the war amid two revolutions, the first in February and a second in October.

The Democrats had not been in power since 1897, and the only member of any national prominence was three time Democratic Presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan. Wilson reluctantly agreed to choose Bryan as Secretary of State to appease a segment of the Democratic party. Bryan and Wilson saw eye to eye on most issues until war was imminent with the Central Powers. Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, was another important selection. He was most notable for who he choose as his under secretary, a young politician from New York named Franklin D. Roosevelt. Perhaps the most influential of all the president's advisors was a Texas gentleman nicknamed "Colonel" House.

Wilson, Woodrow, Wilson in full THOMAS WOODROW WILSON (b. Dec. 28, 1856, Staunton, Va., U.S.d. Feb. 3, 1924, Washington, D.C.), 28th president of the United States (1913-21), an American statesman remembered for his high-minded and sometimes inflexible idealism, who led his country into World War I and became the leading advocate of the League of Nations at the Paris Peace Conference. He suffered a nervous collapse and stroke of paralysis while vainly seeking American public support for the Treaty of Versailles (September-October 1919). Early life, education, and governorship. Wilson's doctoral dissertation, Congressional Government, developed his attack upon the congressional committees. In the same year he married Ellen Louise Axson of Savannah, Ga., and began a teaching career at Bryn Mawr College as associate professor of history and political economy. In 1888 he became a professor at Wesleyan University in Connecticut; two years later he joined the Princeton faculty as professor of jurisprudence and political economy, in which capacity he served until 1902, when he was chosen president of the university. At Princeton, Wilson achieved a national reputation by his addresses and articles on political questions of the day, and in September 1910 he was offered the Democratic nomination for the governorship of New Jersey. The offer came at a moment when prospects for the success of his policies at Princeton seemed most discouraging, and he readily accepted. Conducting a dynamic and fearless campaign, he won the support of progressive elements throughout the state and was elected.
