Princeton University and the Academic Life of Empire

by paul.kramer

PLAS Cuadernos (1998)

This essay discusses the ways the Spanish-Cuban-American War and Philippine-American War were experienced at Princeton University.  The wars prompted politics professor Woodrow Wilson to ponder the implications of colonialism for American institutions, served as a topic for inter-collegiate debate, and saw a former undergraduate from Cuba serve as a Spanish-language interpreter for the U. S. military in the Philippines.
