WOODROW WILSON 1856- 1924 TWENTY-EIGHTI-I PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES l9l3 - l92l 2340 S STREET. N.W. WASHINGTON D.C. September ztth 1929 Deer ledam: Ls lrsu-ilson is non in the I-'ar East, I sm answering for her your letter of September seventh, received e few days ago. I am sure that lrs.01lson will be interested to know that the new high school has been named for her husband, and that she will heartily approve my sending the enclosed photograph of Mr.l1lson for the school, in accordance with your suggestion. If the scho Woodrow Wilson, for whom our school was named, was a fighter for all that is noblest in American tradition. His weapons were a powerful intellect, a golden eloquence, a determined will and a purity of character which noth- ing could corrupt-not power, not glory, not bitter disappointment. Faith was the essence of the man: faith in God, faith in the people, faith in democratic institutions. It is this faith which endures, surviving the man who possessed it, his age, his world, his language. In his life are found lessons, examples, and inspiration for today and tomorrow. Ennobled by WiIson's idealism, we wish to dedicate, on the centenary of his birth, our annual to his memory and our lives to the realization of his ideals. 3
