"PRINCETON'S FOREMOST GRADUATE"

WOODROW WILSON TO KEEP HIS IDEALS BEFORE THE PUBLIC

Washington, D.C. (JFK+50) On June 12, 1921, former President Woodrow Wilson, receiving a delegation of students from Princeton University, said he plans to "keep his ideals actively before the public."

Four undergraduates from the university representing the Woodrow Wilson Society visited Mr. & Mrs. Wilson at their home here in Washington.

The former POTUS was presented with a letter signed by 600 students stating their desire to give "due recognition to Woodrow Wilson as Princeton's foremost graduate, for...leadership...during...war and for (his) courage and idealism."
