In 2008, a faculty committee at Princeton rated the twenty-five most influential alumni and the twelve alumni who have had the greatest impact on Princeton. On the first list, Wilson ranked third, behind James Madison and the mathematician Alan Turing, and on the second list he ranked first. He and Fitzgerald were the only two to appear on both lists. See Princeton Alumni Weekly Princeton Alumni Weekly, Jan. 23, 2008.5. WW speech, Mar. 20, 1914, PWW, vol PWW, vol. 29.1 TOMMY TOMMY1. The story is told in Eleanor Wilson McAdoo, The Woodrow Wilsons The Woodrow Wilsons (New York, 1937). (New York, 1937).2. The birth is recorded in the Wilson family Bible, PWW, vol PWW, vol. 1. There is some dispute about whether Wilson was born on December 28 or 29. See PWW PWW, vol. 1, n. 7.3. On Joseph Ruggles Wilson, see PWW PWW, vol. 1, n. 1, and John M.

On the Augusta church and Joseph Wilson's move there, see Mulder, Years of Preparation Years of Preparation. It is not possible to determine from the slave schedules of the census for Richmond County, Georgia, the number, age, or s.e.x of the slaves who worked for the Wilsons.8. The proportion of slaves in the population is based on U.S. Bureau of the Census, Population of the United States: Eighth Census Population of the United States: Eighth Census (Was.h.i.+ngton, D.C., 1861). Richmond County, in which Augusta is located, also had 490 "Free Colored" residents, 386 of whom lived in Augusta. (Was.h.i.+ngton, D.C., 1861). Richmond County, in which Augusta is located, also had 490 "Free Colored" residents, 386 of whom lived in Augusta.9. WW speech, Feb. 12, 1909, PWW, vol PWW, vol. 19.10.

Jessie Bones Brower to RSB, May 9, 1926, RSBP, box 102. The historian who has studied Wilson's early life most closely has argued that Joseph Wilson did want his son to follow him into the ministry and that Tommy showed some interest, attending lectures at the seminary. See Mulder, Years of Preparation Years of Preparation.25. WW to RB, Aug. 22, 1881, PWW PWW, vol. 2; WW confidential journal, entry for Dec. 28, 1889, PWW, vol PWW, vol. 6.26. On Wilson's lack of a southern accent by the time he went to college, see responses to questionnaires sent to his Princeton cla.s.smates by Henry W. Bragdon in the late 1930s and early 1940s, HWBC. On Wilson's use of a broad a a, see WW, The Priceless Gift: The Love Letters of Woodrow Wilson and Ellen Axson Wilson The Priceless Gift: The Love Letters of Woodrow Wilson and Ellen Axson Wilson, ed. Eleanor Wilson McAdoo (New York, 1962). On his effort to wean Ellen from her southern accent, see WW to EA, Feb. 17, 1885, PWW, vol PWW, vol. 4.27. Robert H. McCarter, interview by HWB, July 14, 1940, HWBC; WW speech, Jan. 19, 1909, PWW, vol PWW, vol. 18.28. WW quoted in Edith Gittings Reid, Woodrow Wilson: The Caricature, the Myth and the Man Woodrow Wilson: The Caricature, the Myth and the Man (New York, 1934). The only biographer who interviewed any of the family's African American servants was William Allen White, who wrote a brief and fundamentally hostile book about Wilson (New York, 1934). The only biographer who interviewed any of the family's African American servants was William Allen White, who wrote a brief and fundamentally hostile book about Wilson (The Man, His Times, and His Task) (The Man, His Times, and His Task). It is odd that Ray Stannard Baker, who was a.s.siduous in seeking material about Wilson's early life, did not seem to have sought out any of the family's black servants. It is doubly odd because Baker was one of the few white journalists of the time who was interested in race relations. In 1907, he wrote a series of magazine articles that was published as Following the Color Line: An Account of Negro Citizens.h.i.+p in the American Democracy Following the Color Line: An Account of Negro Citizens.h.i.+p in the American Democracy (Garden City, N.Y., 1908). (Garden City, N.Y., 1908).29. WW to Andrew J. Graham, [ca. Apr. 24], 1875, PWW PWW, vol. 1. Mulder views Wilson's year at Davidson as a time of spiritual and vocational turmoil for him and speculates about his ill health. See Mulder, Years of Preparation Years of Preparation. I do not agree with that interpretation.30. On the founding and early history of Princeton, see Thomas Jefferson Wertenbaker, Princeton, 17461896 Princeton, 17461896 (Princeton, N.J., 1946).

In 1913 and 1917, Harriet Woodrow Welles attended Wilson's presidential inaugurations, and she visited him and his family in the White House several times. Many years later, after Wilson's and Welles's deaths, one of her grandsons married one of his granddaughters.

Taking the opposing side was John Dewey, who cited statistics to show that illiteracy was rising in the South. Long afterward, the dry, understated Dewey could still recall Wilson's "vigorous attack" on the bill, "not exactly on old southern states rights lines, but against anything looking toward 'encroachment.'"

That MIT offered its presidency to West, who had even less interest in or acquaintance with science than Wilson, seemed odd at the time and has remained a mystery ever since. According to one story, the delegation from MIT intended to make the offer to Fine, who would have been a natural choice and was subsequently offered the job, but they called at the wrong dean's office and mistakenly delivered the offer to West.

This was not the first recurrence of the condition: during the summer of 1904, Wilson had complained of a weakness in his right hand that hampered his writing. The 1904 and 1907 incidents, like the first one, may have been the result of small strokes caused by arteriosclerosis, but the length of time between the incidents and the fact that they affected Wilson's right side whereas the hemorrhage affected his left eye have raised questions about the exact nature of his condition.
