Page "Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs" Paragraph 5

According to the School's first catalog from February 1930, " Throughout its history the sons of Princeton have been prominent in the service of the nation -- statesmen, soldiers, judges, diplomats, men of science and men of letters, leaders of religious thought at home and abroad.

It was this background which prompted Woodrow Wilson in 1896 to define the University's destiny as: ' Princeton in the Nation's Service '... Upon this foundation Princeton has established the School of Public and International Affairs which will ... prepare students for the new movement in national and world affairs.
