President Woodrow Wilson-whose mas
ter work, A History Of the American Peo-
pie. was issued by. Harper & Brothers co.
incidently with the authors Inauguration
as president Of Princeton University-is
peculiarly fitted to be the historian of
the American people as Green is to the
English. President Wilson received his
education both in the South and North.
Born at Staunton. Va. in 1856, he was
graduated from the University Of which
he is now the head in 1873. He studied
law at the University Of Virginia. and
for one year practiced this profession at
Atlanta Ga. He holds degrees from both
Northern and Southern colleges and un-.
versities, including Johns Hopkins Y ale
and Wake Forest College, North Caro-
lima, and has held professorships in Bryn
Alawr College Wesleyan University and
Princeton University. In addition to this
peculiar educational fitness for the great
work of his career. as historian both of
North and South, is the fact that Presi-
dent Wilson is the author OF a history
entitled Division and Reunion which
covered the period of our Civil War. This
history besides being popular in the
North. aroused no adverse criticism In the
South as. has SO often been the case In
other instances.
