These papers include a collection of letters from Woodrow Wilson, the earliest of which is dated October 30, 1885, when the future President was beginning his career at Bryn Mawr.

He was eager to come to New York, Wilson said, and discuss with Page "half a hundred topics" suggested by "Congressional Government." The atmosphere at Bryn Mawr was evidently not stimulating.

"Such a talk would give me a chance to let off some of the enthusiasm I am just now painfully stirring up in enforced silence." The _Forum_ and the _Atlantic Monthly_, when Page was editor, showed many traces of his interest in Wilson, who was one of his most frequent contributors.

When Wilson became President of Princeton, he occasionally called upon his old _Atlantic_ friend for advice.

He writes to Page on various matters--to ask for suggestions about filling a professorship or a lectureship; and there are also references to the difficulties Wilson is having with the Princeton trustees.
Page's letters also portray the new hopes with which Wilson inspired him.
