THOMAS WOODROW WILSON







THOMAS WOODROW WILSON



Born: 12/28/1856
Birthplace: Staunton, Va.


(Thomas) Woodrow Wilson was born in Staunton, Va., on Dec. 28, 1856. A Princeton
graduate, he turned from law practice to post-graduate work in political science
at Johns Hopkins University, receiving his Ph.D. in 1886. He taught at Bryn
Mawr, Wesleyan, and Princeton, and in 1902 was made president of Princeton.
After an unsuccessful attempt to democratize the social life of the university,
he welcomed an invitation in 1910 to be the Democratic gubernatorial candidate
in New Jersey, and was elected. His success in fighting the machine and putting
through a reform program attracted national attention.

In 1912, at the Democratic convention in Baltimore, Wilson won the nomination on
the 46th ballot and went on to defeat Roosevelt and Taft in the election. Wilson
proceeded under the standard of the New Freedom to enact a program of domestic
reform, including the Federal Reserve Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the
establishment of the Federal Trade Commission, and other measures designed to
restore competition in the face of the great monopolies. In foreign affairs,
while privately sympathetic with the Allies, he strove to maintain neutrality in
the European war and warned both sides against encroachments on American
interests.

Reelected in 1916 as a peace candidate, he tried to mediate between the warring
nations; but when the Germans resumed unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917,
Wilson brought the United States into what he now believed was a war to make the
world safe for democracy. He supplied the classic formulations of Allied war
aims and the armistice of Nov. 11, 1918, was negotiated on the basis of Wilson's
Fourteen Points. In 1919 he strove at Versailles to lay the foundations for
enduring peace. He accepted the imperfections of the Versailles Treaty in the
expectation that they could be remedied by action within the League of Nations.
He probably could have secured ratification of the treaty by the Senate if he
had adopted a more conciliatory attitude toward the mild reservationists; but
his insistence on all or nothing eventually caused the diehard isolationists and
diehard Wilsonites to unite in rejecting a compromise.

In Sept. 1919 Wilson suffered a paralytic stroke that limited his activity.
After leaving the presidency he lived on in retirement in Washington, dying on
Feb. 3, 1924. He was married twice—in 1885 to Ellen Louise Axson, who died in
1914, and in 1915 to Edith Bolling Galt.
