His experiences at the helm of Princeton-where he enjoyed four productive years followed by four years of wrangling and intense acrimony-reveal much about the kind of man he was and how he earned a reputation as a fearless crusader. This engrossing book focuses on how Wilson's Princeton years influenced the ideas and worldview he later applied in politics. His career in the White House, W. Barksdale Maynard shows, repeated with uncanny precision his Princeton experiences. The book recounts how Wilson's inspired period of building, expansion, and intellectual fervor at Princeton deteriorated into one of the most famous academic disputes in American history. His battle to abolish elitist eating clubs and establish a more egalitarian system culminated in his defeat and dismissal, and the ruthlessness of his tactics alienated even longtime friends. So extreme was his behavior, some historians have wondered whether he suffered a stroke. Maynard sheds new light on this question, on Wilson's temper, and on other aspects of his strengths and shortcomings. The book provides an unprecedented inside view of a hard-fighting president-a man who tried first to remake a university and then to remake the world. 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aCollege presidents$zNew Jersey$zPrinceton$vBiography 606 $aCollege teachers$zNew Jersey$zPrinceton$vBiography 606 $aCollege students$zNew Jersey$zPrinceton$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPresidents 615 0$aCollege presidents 615 0$aCollege teachers 615 0$aCollege students 676 $a973.91/3092 700 $aMaynard$b W.
