Photo, left: Woodrow Wilson was born in Staunton, Virginia in 1856 to a Presbyterian reverend of Scots-Irish descent. He was graduated from Princeton, where his father was a professor, in 1879, then attended law school at the University of Virginia for a year. He did not graduate but easily passed the Georgia bar anyway. Finding little work as an attorney, he entered a Ph.D. program in history and political science at Johns Hopkins University in 1883 and graduated just three years later. He then completed teachings stints at Cornell, Bryn Mawr ($2,000/year), and Wesleyan ($2,500/year) before joining the faculty at Princeton ($3,000/year) in 1890.  [more] (Text and photo by courtesy of, and with thanks to, the Museum of America Finance and especially Mr & Mrs John Herzog.)
