Philadelphia.

! PHILADELPHIA, December 21-The

flag over It,
Halted Abraham Lincoln.
| The veteran liked to tell a story about
| an encounter with President Lincoln
! while he was stationed at the Washing
| ton navy yard. Strict orders had been
given to Mccartney, who was on guard at
the Anacostia bridge, to permit no one
to cross the bridge without proper Gre
dentials. When Lincoln came along Ma
cartney stopped him.
Got to have a passport to come in
here" he explained. The President, who
was wearing his famous top hat, didn't
| expostulate. He sent for passport and
waited until it arrived. Then Mccartney
| stepped back and saluted when he was
handed the paper. instructing him to
Pass the President Of the United
States" He said he knew 1t was "Old
Abe" but his orders were strict.

In 1855 DR.. Wilson was made a member
of the faculty OF Wesleyan University.
Middletown, Conn. He remained there
only two years. his reputation as a writer
and educator having attracted the atten-
ton Of his alma mater, and he was IN
vited 10 the chair Of Jurisprudence and
political economy at Princeton. When he
was called to Princeton in 1880 his legal
attachments end remarkable executive
ability were at once recognized and he
was placed upon various committees that
had 10 do with the practical administra-
ton of affairs. One OF these committees
was that on special students. Under the
old regime at Princeton this was a sort OF
back-dOOr entrance into the university
In fact. 1t had been carried so far that II
was more or less of a scandal. The COM
mittee, under the direction of Woodrow
Wilson. went through the special students
with a fine tooth comb, and inside OF
year. instead of the special students
being a reproaeh TO the university, they
were remarkable for their scholarship.
Wilson as n Writer.
Wilson at once attracted attention. His
writings on historical and educational
subjects included short History Of the
American People" and Life of Wash
ington." He at once became a favorite
with the students and was regarded as
their real friend and champion. His
lectures on political economy. though an
elective course. were hlled TO overlooking.
1t was. not long before the young pro-
fessOr had a national reputation as a
clear and convincing speaker and writer

When President Francis Landey Pat

firing. Dr. Wilson was at once looked upon
as his logical successor. The fact that
he was not an ordained minister at first
threatened TO stand in the way, as some
of the faculty and board OF trustees were
not in favor OF breaking the old prece-
