remarkable individuals in this nations history. Before reaching the highest elected office in the land and subsequently leading the nation through World War I, Wilson achieved success as a scholar,
teacher, and university president. His achievements during this period of his life caused him to have a substantial influence on the course of higher education. Then, as a political leader
and governor of New Jersey, he initiated numerous reform programs, which were highly significant in his own state and influential elsewhere. As President, he achieved fame as a champion of
world peace and democracy and was awarded the 1919 Nobel Peace Prize for his part in founding the League of Nations and seeking a fair peace for all at the
end of World War I. Heckscher does an excellent job of revealing the man behind these accomplishments. As Heckscher points out, Wilson was, in many ways, a man of
