100 YEARD FROM GREAT
UNION OF 1918
WOODROW WILSON
Born in Staunton, Virginia, to a slaveholding family, Wilson spent his early years in Augusta, Georgia,
and Columbia, South Carolina. His father was a leading Southern Presbyterian and helped to found
the Presbyterian Church in the United States. in political science from Johns Hopkins University,
Wilson taught at various schools before taking a position at Princeton.
Wilson began reading at age ten; the delayed start was possibly caused by dyslexia. He later blamed
the lack of schools. As a teen, he taught himself the Graham shorthand system to compensate, and
achieved academically with self-discipline, studying at home with his father, then in classes at a
small Augusta, Georgia school.[ During Reconstruction, Wilson lived in Columbia, South Carolina, from
1870 to 1874, while his father was a theology professor at the Columbia Theological Seminary.
When his health became frail and dictated his withdrawal from studies, he went home to his parents,
then living in Wilmington, North Carolina, where he continued his law studies.[Wilson was admitted
to the Georgia bar and made a brief attempt at law practice in January 1882; he found legal history
and substantive jurisprudence interesting, but abhorred the day-to-day procedural aspects. After less
than a year, he abandoned the practice to pursue his study of political science and history. Both
parents expressed concern over a potentially premature decision.
In late spring of 1883, Wilson was summoned to Rome,
Georgia, to assist in the settlement of his maternal uncle
William's estate, which was being mishandled by a
brother-in-law. While there he met and fell in love
with Ellen Louise Axson, the daughter of a minister
from Savannah, Georgia; he proposed to her and they
became engaged in Asheville.[Wilson's marriage to Ellen
was delayed by traumatic developments in her family; in
late 1883, Ellen's father Edward, suffering
from depression, was admitted to the Georgia State
Mental Hospital, where in 1884 he committed suicide.
After closing the family home in Rome, Georgia, and
recovering from the initial shock, Ellen gained admission
to the Art Students League of New York. After
graduation, she pursued portrait art and received a
medal for one of her works from the Paris International
Exposition. She happily agreed to sacrifice further
independent artistic pursuits in order to keep her
marriage commitment, and in 1885 she and Wilson
married.
Wilson was an automobile enthusiast and, while
President, he took daily rides in his favorite car, a
1919 Pierce-Arrow. His enjoyment of motoring made
him an advocate of funding for public highways. He was
also an avid baseball fan, and in 1915 became the first
sitting president to attend and throw out the first ball at
a World Series game. Wilson had been a center
fielder during his Davidson College days and was the
Princeton team's assistant manager. Also, he cycled
regularly, taking several cycling vacations in the
English Lake District.Wilson later took up golf.
Wilson directed Chairman of Finance, Henry Morgenthau not to accept
contributions from corporations and to prioritize smaller donations from
the widest possible quarters of the public, and Morgenthau did this. In
order to further embolden Democrats, especially in New Jersey and New
York, Wilson set out to ensure the defeat of local incumbent candidates
supported by political machines: James Smith JR. (U.S. Senate in New
Jersey) and John Dix (Governor of New York). He succeeded in both of
these efforts and thereby weakened arguments that party control resided
with political bosses.
