Woodrow Wilson stayed here for his freshman year, but not even a generous interpretation of the artist's work could re-cast either of those two as Woodrow.

Nice card though.

Very interesting.

Oh well....the artists who designed these cards were in NYC (at American Litho.)....so what did they really know

Thanks for the input.
