side from the hat. tore up the slip and
returned to his seat He said nothing
under heaven could induce him to ad-
vance arguments for a thing in which
he did not believe Lynde prize, there
fore, went to someone else.
Wilson did not shine with any great
effulgence in his regular college course.
He stood 41st in a class of 1872 This
was the famous class Of '79, one of its
members being Mahlon c. Pitney, OF
the supreme court bench.
shows Leadership Ability.
About this time his natural aptitude
for leadership began to crop out, and
before his first year was over he was
universally recognized at Princeton as
master spirits Of the entire student
body. He later became managing ed
itor Of the 'Princetonian," and when
he graduated, his classmates looked 20
him TO rise higher than am Of them
While at Princeton he wrote a search
ing article on congress. which at once
stamped him as a youth of extraOrdi-
nary ca1iber. This article was pub
Hshed in the International Review and
in it the young Princetonian pointed
out that most Of the legislative BUSH
ness Of the nation was carried on by
small committees behind closed doors
This was the first time the matter had
ever been brought home to the people
OF Lu6 country anu II started NAen 10
thinking.
Wilson made the point that the ma
tons business ought to be done in the
open, ought to be threshed out in pub
lie discussion. Even at that early day
he lifted up his voice against secrecy.
He declared that was the atmosphere
in which evil and corruption flourished
and that the only remedy was pub
LEFTY.
After leaving Princeton, Woodrow
Wilson went to the University Of Vir-
ginia, that great institution Of liberal
learning founded by Thomas Jeffer-
son He spent a year there studying
in the law department under the able
guidance Of DR.. John B. Minor.
At the University OF Virginia, Wilson
was also a leader. He took a more
active interest in sports joined the
glee club; he organized a. debating so
ciety and easily won both the writer's
and the orators prizes. Here also he
acquired the reputation OF being a great
joker. He composed nonsense rhymes
and limericks with wonderful facility.
And to this day he IS found of a witty
limerick.
The Wilson Limerick
FOR example, the whole country will
recall his famous limerick which he re-
cited to the newspaper reporters at

once. He subordinated his regular col
1ege work to the task OF fitting him
self for public life.
During the first year at Princeton
Wilson Joined "Whig hall the literary
debating society founded by James Il
AdisOn. who also wrote its constitu-
tion. Its rival society at Princeton was
''Clio hail." and the annual Lynde de-
bate, an extempOraneous discussion, the
subject to be given to the debaters
few minutes before the debate was to
begin, was the biggest thing in a lite
erary way at the college. Young VII
son soon established himself as the
leading spirit Of the WING hall" so
ciety and was easily its best debater.
To win this annual debate, in which
three representatives, from each Of the
two halls participated, was the thing
that Wilson coveted most Each hall
selected its debaters by a preliminary
contest within its own society-also an
extemporaneous affair.
On the evening of the preliminary
contest the subject was Protection VS.
Free Trade" The debaters took sides
