Contributions made by Woodrow Wilson in the
field of teaching and University education are
still with us from his days as a distinguised
professor, lecturer, author and later president of
Princeton University.

Wilson remains the only president to have
earned a Doctorate and still ranks as the
recipient of the most honorary degrees.

Chartered as College of New Jersey in 1746,
opened at Elizabeth, N.J. in 1747, Removed to
Princeton, N.J. in 1754, where it was named for

Now we will see where the Wilsons lived
while serving as President of the
University.

An Elegant Home!

For a century (1870 to 1970) Prospect House
was the home to the University President. When
the gardens were first laid out to the rear of
the house, the President's wives would tend them.

Mrs Wilson was the one who laid out the
gardens in the shape of the University Seal,
so that when viewed from above the pathways
define the shield's outline.

The Gardens.

A lovely garden!

Now we will see Prospect House
as it is today.

Lovelier than ever!

The next building was erected in honor of
Woodrow Wilson.
