Actually Woodrow Wilson did not start Princeton University.  Princeton was founded in the mid 1700's as a Presbyterian institution.  Wilson, whose father was a Presbyterian minister, grew up and lived in the south (GA, SC, and NC) until he was a young adult.  He studied at Davidson College, Princeton and John's Hopkins and started his career in the 1880's as an Atlanta attorney.  His first wife was from Rome, GA.  He eventually became a faculty member at Princeton and the University President in 1902.  In 1910 he was elected Governor of NJ and president of the US 1n 1912.

I am a great fan of Wodrow Wilson.  He was a liberal reformer in the mould of Teddy Roosevelt.  On most issues he was ahead of his time. His racial attitudes were more conservative and would be considered primitive today but they were relatively progressive in the context of his era.

I hope the administration at Princeton has the balls to tell these moronic student protesters where to stick it!
