It would be hard to find a school

Woodrow Wilson was born In
staunton, Virginia, December 2Sth,
1865. His father was the Rev. Joseph
r. Wilson and one OF the most in
fuential churchnon Of the south.
At the age Of two years his father
moved to Augusta, Georgia. where he
took charge Of one Of the largest and
most influential churches in the
south. Augusta was then a city of
about $4,000 Inhabitants, and 1t was
here that the bcyhood Of the future
governor Of New Jersey and presi-
dent OF Princeton was spent
Rev. Wilson moved to Columbia,
South Carolina, in the Autumn Of
1870 and became e teacher in
the Southern Theological Seminary
which position be held for four years.
Woodrow continued to attend school,
but most Of his trs lining was under
the direct supervision Of his father,
and IN spite CO his late years to
start at books La soon qualified for
college and at seventeen he was sent
TO Davidson College. North Carolina.

| In the autumn OF 1875 he entered
Princeton, where he graduated with
the class Of 1875. His going north
to college was fortunate, for 1t gave
him at an impTeskianaple age an op-
portunity to understand the north
ern, as well as the southern. point

In the autumn Of 1886 he was
called to the chair Of history and 20
