 Professor Wilson worked very hard to make his lectures interesting. One of the faculty who lived next door tes tihes that the light in his study win dow was invariably burning long qftei everybody else had gone tO bed. FrarH the start of his professional career Mr Wilson appears to have realized the necessity of impartjng viracity and reality to his lectures. There Is some ground to suspect that the intense young ladies who sat under him did moi always appreciate the lighter side ol his discourses. At all events. it is r.. membered that he appeared one dai in the lecture room without the long mustache which had up to then sdoru ed his countenance-q sacrifice which it was hinted he hnd made ln the hope of being thereafter better uble to sus gest to his classes certain deii,acies oi thought and fancy which they hac shown little signs of aDprehending.

 Social life at Bryn Mawr was most agreeable. An invitation to an Oldsf and larger institution was. neyerthe less, not to be declined. Ampler Oppor- tunity opened in d school attended by young men. and in lSSS Professor Wil- son accepted an election to the chair of history and political economy at Wes- leyan university, Middletown. Conn.
 From the start Professor Wilson's courses were extremely popular. And well indeed they might be, for New England had rarely heard such instruc- ton as was given in the lecture room of Wesleyan's professor of history and ] political economy. While at Middle town he continued bis lectureship at I Johns Hopkins. Now, however. instead | of going down once a week he bunch ed his twenty-five lectures in a month | of vacation allowed him by the Wes- ! leyan trustees. His fame as a popular lecturer also was growing apace, and he was frequently called to give ad dresses in New England and the east ern states. It was while at Middle n ume which, with less pretentons to Iit- erary form than his other work, involy- 1 ed an enormous amount of labor. Mir. Wilson was member of the ath- 1 letie committee of Wesleyan and took ! the keenest interest in the college sports. One student of the time re members how incensed he became at the limited ambition of the Wesleyan boys, who, when they played against Yale, were satisfied only to keep the score down. That's no ambition at allr" he used to cry. "Go in and win. You can lick Yale as well as any other team. Go after their scalps- Don't ad- init for moment that they can beat you"
 Life at Middletown was pleasant But Mir. Wilson's growing reputation would not permit him to remain there. When in 1890 the chair of jurispru- dence Gnd politics in Princeton col lege became vacant through the death of Professor Alexander Johnson the trustees elected to 1t the Princeton graduate. who had so quickly distin- guished himself as a student of poll tics.

He was now man whose renown had begun to spread in the world. an author. a pub lie speaker of enviable repute. the head of a family, a figure of consid- eration, doctor, if you please. both of philosophy and of law.
 The Wilson's rented a house in IL brary place. After a few years they built home for themselves on an ad- joining lot, an attractive half tim bered house designed by Mrs Wilson.
 The new professor stepped at once into the front rank, as indeed became a Princeton graduate. member of one of the most famous classes the old college had graduated, a man thor oushly imbued with the best tradi tions of the place. But his lectures Princeton had no tradition that ae- counted for their charm They in-
