Dr. Wilson resigning bis pas-
loratc In order to become a professor
In the Southern Presbyterian Tbeolog
leal seminary. His chair was that of
pastoral and evangelistic theology. He
retained it four years
Tom appears to have retreated here
Into the more exciting scenes of an Im
aginative life. He forsook in mind the
streets of the commonplace town and
the dreary banks of the Congaree ami
adventured forth in search of exploits
In faroff lands. All boys do some
thing of the sort but there can be no
doubt that In the case of this young
dreamer the exercise of imagination
waa constant and vivid and that dur
ing a great part of his days he lived, so
far as his mind was concerned, in one
or another of the various characters
which he had invented and assumed.
Thus for many months he waa an
admiral of the nnvy and in that char
actcr wrote out dnlly reports to the
navy department. Ilia main achieve
ment In this capacity was the dls
covery and destruction of a uest of
pirates in the southern Pacific ocean.
It nppears that the government, nlotig
with all the people of the country, had
boon terrified by the mysterious disap
pearance of ships setting sail from or

inlral Wilson was ordered to Invest!

cruise they overtook oue night a pi

Already the nnst popular
line of candv in the citv
erto unknown. Here lay the ships of
the outlawed enemy nud the dismnn
tied hulls of many of their victims
! And It limy 1m: believed that the brave
American tars, under the leadership
of the redoubtable admiral, played a
truly heroic part in the destruction of
the pirates.
There are two things worth noting
about tills story: First, the length of
time several months In which the
lo.v lived tin; greater part of his wuk
InK hours In the character which he
had Invented, and, second, the verl
similitude willi which the details re
lating to t ho greet adventure were set
forth In the dally "retWto."
About this time Woodrow was read-

I yarns, and, though be had never seen

every class of lyie of sailing ship,

At Columbia Wood row, as be began
now to be commonly called, attended i
the school kept by Mr Charles Hey
ward Itarnwell. Hut his real education
continued to be conducted by his fa- I
ther.
He was now approaching 'ho ae for
college In spile of his late start at j
book, lie had rapidly itiali'ied in the
ordinary preparatory studies, and at I
seventeen, in the autumn oi M&, he
was sent ott to cohere
Davidson college, in famous Mecklen
burg county. N. C is a prosperous in

rather a Job to carry arm loads of wood
to remote rooms on the upper doors.
There still lingers at Davidson the tra

to dress, cross the campus and be in

chapel Ull stopped ringing
lustructnui at Davidson was rather
better than was common at small col

Wilson did it to get the holiday or
been use be wanted to do something
useful, he planted nn elm on the
campus nt Davidson, and It stands
there strong and upright today.
Karly In the year a small Incident '
In class fastened upon him a nick- '
name. The rhetoric class being en
gaged upon that well known part of ;
Trench's "English, Past nnd Present." !
which sets forth (much after the man

chapter In "Ivooboe") how good Baton

Wood row, "What is calves' moat, when
served nt table?" and received the :
hasty reply. "Mutton!" Wilson wa
"Monsieur Mouton" for the rest of the '
year.
Indeed, he did not finish the year, for
he fell 111 just before the examinations
came on and was taken to bis home,
then at Wilmington. N. C.. to the pas
torate of the Presbyterian church to
which city Dr. Wilson had just been
called.
Wood row remained to hia father's
house at Wilmington throughout the
year 1874-5. It had been determined
that he abould not return to Davidson,
but should go to Princeton, and he
spent the year tutoring In Greek sod a
few other studies.
In truth, there was a good dcsl of
play done that year too. The boy had
grown too fast and was hardly fit for
the rigid schedule of college life. So
he "took It easy." Wilmington wss an
old and historic place. It was a sea
port; for the first time Woodrow saw
a ship and caught the smell of the sea.
Talk was still full of the adventures of
the blockade runners of the war lately
ended, Wilmington having been a fa
vorite iort of the desperate men ami
swift ships that then made so many
gallant chapters of sen history, what

CHAPTER IV.
A Student at Princeton.
HKN Woodrow Wilson got Oi.
the train at the little station
in Princeton early iu Septem
ber. 1S7.". one of UM tiew-
comeis. he found himself in a cliarm
iug old . v.i ot uuiples. elms and catal
pas. gBniiig which stood the college
buililitms it itlug, one of them, back to

The phlT, full of traditions of the
Itevolui. . iiv war. hail been a favor

IStil. The lirst war bad battered the
front ot OKI K'umsMU hall, and the sec

from the institution fl lare pail of its
soutlierii patrouate The south could
ill alVotti to send its young meu far
away to college now. This year, In
ilecil. thele came twenty men from the
southern stales It is I euiemlierctl that
some ot tliese youtlis n ceiled lecon
vtruction. Wilson is eememheretl In no such
way. He was known as a Democrat
sf stout .pinions from the day he lirst
ipem d iii mouth on the campus, hut
no re ullection tenia ins of Ids having
displayed any sectional passion. A
classmate remembers, however, that
on one occasion when a uroup of fel
lows were talking of t lie misfortunes
that follow in lie wal.eol war Wilson,
who was in tlie group, cried out. "You
know nothing wh itc er alMint it!" and
with face as while as a sheet of pacr
abruptlv left the company.
All testimony pies to indicate thai
Tom Wiison immediately took his
place as a leader In the class. He up
pea red is a young fellow of great ma
turity of character, blended with un
nsunl freshness of interest In all things
ItOrtglSitig to coUfJpa life. He had the
manners of a young aristocrat. His
speech was cultured. He soou won the
reputation of already w ide reading and
sound judgment. There is abundant
evidence tlmt lie was from tlie start a
marked figure among the men who
now constitute the 'famous class of
'"! " There have Iwen more famous
Princeton graduates than these, but
there Iuik never been a class of so Idub
au average of ability. Kohert Bridges,

Trust company: Colonel Kdwln A.
Stevens of New Jersey nnd Judge Roll
er! I!. Henderson of Maryland are only
typical members of a class of unusual
mental capacity. Among such men
Wilson from the start ranked high.
Not as a sttideut perhaps. He was
never a bright particular star in ex
aminations. Princeton graduated as
"honor men" such students ns had
maintained throughout their four
years' course au uvernge of 90 per
cent. Not less than forty-two out of
the 122 graduates of '7! were "honor
men." Wilson barely got in among
them. He ranked forty-first.
The fact is that this son of clergy
men and editors badn't come to school
to pass through a standardized cur
riculum and fill bis head with the
knowledge prescribed In a college cata
logue. He had come to prepare him
self for a particular career, and before
be hid been nt Princeton three months
he bad finally determined on what that
career should be
The class historian. Harold (Pete)
Godwin, celebrating the advent In
Princeton of the members of the class
that graduated In '71. declares that on
arrival "Tommy Wilsou rushed to the
library and took out Kant's 'Critique
of Pare Reason ' "
To the library Tommy Wilson un
questionably did rush, but not to read
of pure reason. If ever there wns a
student who demanded facts, concrete
subjects, applied reason, it was this
same Wilson, even In his college daya.
The truth is that, prowling In the al
coves of the Chancellor Green library,
new then, one day early In the term
the boy stopped at the head of the
south stairs, where the bound maga
zines were kept, and bis hand fell
upon .i lile of the Gentleman's Maga
zine, that ancient and respectable re
pository ot P.ngllsh lltniture wblch
Dr. Samuel Johnson had bellied to
start awa back in tlie middle of the
eighteenth century, with Ids reports of
iarliame!i:nrv debates. When Johnson
lay on his deathbed he declared that
his only eouipun tion was those parlia
mentary renorts. for, of course, they
were fakes."

pages occupied by "Men and Manner
In Parliament" nnd from that moment
his lite plan was fixed.
