Thomas Woodrow Wilson 1856-1924 was the twentyeighth President of the United States. A devout Presbyterian and leading intellectual of the Progressive Era, he served as president of Princeton University then became the reform governor of New Jersey in 1910. With Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft dividing the Republican vote, Wilson was elected President as a Democrat in 1912. He proved highly successful in leading a Democratic Congress to pass major legislation including the Federal Trade Commission, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Underwood Tariff, the Federal Farm Loan Act and most notably the Federal Reserve System. Wilsons idealistic internationalism, whereby the U. S. enters the world arena to fight for democracy, progressiveness, and liberalism, has been a highly controversial position in American foreign policy, serving as a model for 'idealists' to emulate or 'realists' to reject for the following century. His works include: When a Man Comes to Himself 1910 , The New Freedom 1913 , On Being Human 1916 , President Wilsons Addresses 1917 , State of the Union 1918 and Why We Are at War 1918 .
