aelf for a particular career, aod before
be bad been at Prlsceton three month*
be bad Anally determined on What that
career abonld be.
Tbe claaa historian. Harold (Pete)
Godwin, celebrating the advent In
Princeton of the members of tbe elaas
that graduated In 79, declares that on
arrival "Tommy Wilson rushed to tba
library and took out Kant'* -Critique
of Pnre Reason.""
To tbe library Tommy WUaon an
questionably did rash, bat not to read
of pare reason. If ever there was *
student wbo demanded facts, concrete
subjects, applied reason. It was tbir
aama Wilson, even in bis collet* days.
Tbe tratb Is that, prowling In the el
covss of the Chancellor Green library,
new then, one day early in the term
tbe boy stopped at die head of the
south itslrs, where Jtoe bound maga
zines were kept afcfl hi* band fell
upon a III* of the Gentleman'* Maga
zine. that ancient and respectable re
pository of Engllah literature which
Dr. Samuel Johnson had helped to
atart away back In tbe middle of the
eighteenth century, with his reports of
psrllsmentary debates. Wben Johnson
lay on his deathbed be declared that
bis only compnnctlon was those parlia
mentary renorts, for. of course, tbsy
were "fakes.*'
Now, It-happened that In tbe Soveotlee
the editor of tbe day, feeling round for
an attractive feature, bit npon tbe Mas
of rftsntqfng tbe parliamentary reports
Accordingly there Began In the num
her for.January, 1874, a series of ar
tides entitled "Men and Manner In
Parliament." by "Tbe Member For tbe
.Cblltern Hundreds."
Thomas Wood row Wilton happened
to pick np this volume of tbe Gentle
msn's Magazine and to turn to the
pages occupied by "Men and Mannar
In Parllament"-and from that moment
his life plan was fixed.
It was an era of brilliant oar Ita men
tary history. Thers were giants In
those days-John Bright D Israeli.
Gladstone, Earl Granville. Vernon
Harcourt. Tbe personnel of the bouse
of commons bad never been more pic
turesque, the atnvnephere mors elec
trical.
Nothing could have better screed to
awaken In a young leader s sense of
tbe plctureeqneneee end dramatic In
terest of politics, and Mr. Wilson hss
said to the writer of this biography
that no one circumstance did more to
make public life the pnrpose of bis e*
Istenre nor more to determine the
first cast of hi* political Ides* The
young sum turned back to tbe 4 first
volume of tbe Gentleman's Magadne
Then, going to other aourcee, be took
op in earnest the study of English polit
ical history. Be bees me saturated
with the spirit o* the life and practlcss
of tbe British parliament; tba excite
ments of political life eoehsnted him.
The characteristic tbing a boot WIK
aon's undergraduate days at Ptiawliß'
waa that bis- work was done In practi
cal independence of the ordinary col
legs routine of Instruction, at which
even in those days bs was sometimes
beard to rail. Ills mind bad now set
tled definitely upon a public career
His purpose in I'rlncetoo was hence

From tbe start. Professor Wilson's
courses were extremely popular. And
well Indeed tbey might be. for Ifew
England had rarely beard such Instruc

of Wesleysu's professor of history and !

team. Go after their scalps. Don't ad- |
mlt for a moment that they can beat

Life at Mlddletown was pleasant 
But Mr. Wilson's growing reputation ,
would not permit him to remain there.
When In 1800 the chair of Jurispru- |
deuce and politics in Princeton col
lege became vacant tbiWgb the death
of Professor Alexander Johnson the
j trustees elected to It-the Princeton

Tbe Wilsons rented a bouse In Li
