Grading President Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson was one of the smartest presidents in American History. When Wilson entered the White house he was nicknamed the "schoolmaster in politics". He started in his school career in 1873, and despite two intervening sicknesses that caused him to drop out twice, he passed the Georgia bar as a attorney on 1882. Five year latter Wilson completed his Ph.D. in political science by writing the thesis Congressional Government. For five years after that he taught at both Byrn Mawr College and Wesleyan University. In addition he worked as the president of Princeton University and as a lecturer on politics. President Wilson remains the only president to earn a doctorate and the recipient of the many honorary degrees.

During his two terms in presidency he was very highly remembered for his strong idealism. One of the president famous quotes state that "Sometimes people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I am an American. America, my fellow citizens-I do not say it in disparagement of any other great people-America is the only idealistic nation in the world." It is known that throughout history, only the people who are outspokenly idealistic in their views,


For these amazing accomplishments in the field of Education and learning, I give President Woodrow Wilson a 10, for his established career as president.

In other matters of foreign policy Woodrow Wilson was a man with two faces, getting territorial rights for Puerto Rico with one hand and sending in United states troops into Mexico to force a change in government with the other. Although the publicized version of the reasons for going to war was because of the German's U-Boat Practices, it is known that there may have been political reasons as well. For the entirety of the war the United States had supported France and England. However, in the country at that time there was an extreme push toward isolationism, and Wilson's Declaration of Nutrality, or the Nutrality Act, fit the national view point at that time.

President Woodrow Wilson's dedication can be said to be laking in several ways; he really was more of an idealist who used the power of the office of president to further his own personal ideas and beliefs. It is true that he was widely praised for furthering the democratic way of life, however, these practices can also be thought to have been only in the president's beliefs, not the countries opinion. Even Wilson admitted this in his message on April 2, 1917 "The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty..." In this quote, it is clearly shown that During World War I, Wilson's strong commitment to democracy above the nations welfare became even more strikingly obvious. On his famous tour of Europe in 1918, when he was hailed a "defender of democracy".
