Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright will deliver a keynote address Friday as part of a two-day colloquium on Woodrow Wilson’s legacy at Princeton University.
The colloquium, titled "Woodrow Wilson in the Nation’s Service" and set for Friday and Saturday, marks the 150th anniversary of President Wilson’s birth and the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, which is sponsoring the event.
Ms. Albright, who served as secretary of state under President Bill Clinton and now runs her own global consulting firm, the Albright Group, is scheduled to speak at 4 p.m. Friday in Room 50 of McCosh Hall on the university campus. Other colloquium events will be held in Robertson Hall.
President Wilson served as Princeton’s 13th president from 1902-1910, as governor of New Jersey from 1911-1913 and as U.S. president from 1913-1921. A member of Princeton’s class of 1879, he joined the university faculty in 1890 and in 1896 delivered the speech, "Princeton in the Nation’s Service," which inspired the university’s informal motto: "In the nation’s service and in the service of all nations."
Registration is required for all events, and separate tickets must be obtained for Ms. Albright’s address. Other speakers will include university President Shirley Tilghman, who will lead a discussion with other university presidents; scholars from Princeton and various institutions; Maryland Gov. Robert Ehrlich; and journalists William Kristol and David Broder.
Registration and ticket information, a schedule of events and a list of speakers can be found on the colloquium Web site at www.wws.princeton.edu/pcpia. Members of the public wishing to attend must register beforehand online, a university official said.
