Then Princeton came to mean a lot when its ex-president, Woodrow Wilson, called him to government duty, and now the letters and other documents chronicling the services of Bernard M. Baruch, 93, to nine U.S. Presidents will go to Princeton. With the Wilson collection, and papers of Old Nassau Grads John Foster Dulles ('08) and James Forrestal ('15), they will form the nucleus of a new Center for Studies in 20th Century Statecraft that eventually will also...
