Lots of firsts for President Woodrow Wilson (No. 28)… first buried in the nation’s capital… first President to have a PhD…the first to attend a World Series, first to want a national Christmas tree… and the first to travel overseas during his time in office. His legacy includes tariff reform, income tax, currency and credit reform, regulation of business, and better working conditions for the working masses. He left behind a legacy of domestic reforms, a revised and stabilized central government and broadly admired foreign policy. We thank you 28…
Christmas tree at the Capitol from 1913 in the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Online Catalog.

His reforms were remarkable for the forgotten and his League of Nations could have changed the world. He has a quote about when you make change you make enemies…so true.

That’s an interesting quote. I’ll try to remember that one. Oh, the League of Nations – if only the USA had joined! Oh, well.
