This volume opens on Christmas Eve, 1920, in the waning days of
the Wilson administration. Wilson and his advisers have no program
other than to bring the administration to a decent end. The Cabinet
meets for the last time on March 1, 1921. Emotions run high as
various members recall the battles they have fought with their
chief, and Wilson, tears rolling down his cheeks, dismisses them
with the benediction: "Gentlemen, it is one of the handicaps of my
physical condition that I cannot control myself as I've been
accustomed to do. God bless you all." The end of the Wilson
presidency evokes an outpouring of letters to Wilson and editorials
in leading newspapers. These documents review his entire public
career, from the presidency of Princeton University to the end of
his presidency of the United States, and describe the Wilsonian
legacy: high standards of educational and public service,
courageous leadership in domestic reform, constancy of principle,
and a new vision of the world united for progress, democracy, human
rights, and peace. Wilson participates in the formalities preceding
Harding's inauguration, and the transition from the White House to
a new home on S Street proceeds smoothly. As Wilson's health
improves, he forms a law partnership with his former Secretary of
State, Bainbridge Colby, and privately seeks political influence,
while maintaining absolute silence on affairs of state.
