Administrative History

Woodrow Wilson’s uncle, James Woodrow, was a member
of the faculty of Oglethorpe University when it was located
in Midway, near Milledgeville, Ga. James Woodrow was a native
of Carlisle, England. He earned his A.B. degree at Jefferson
College in Pennsylvania and later earned a Ph.D. from Heidelberg.
He taught at Oglethorpe for eight years, where he also became
a member of the clergy and one of the most highly regarded
of faculty members. When Oglethorpe was re-located and opened
in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. Thronwell Jacobs wrote to President
Woodrow Wilson asking him to attend the cornerstone laying
ceremony. Wilson was not able to attend but sent a letter
that was read at the ceremony. The letter in this collection
addresses his response to Jacobs who asked him to be a board
member.
