Wilson Day is the Society’s annual formal event held in honor of President Woodrow Wilson, who was a member of the Society during his time at the University of Virginia. The event features a formal dinner (traditionally held in the University’s Rotunda), accompanied by a guest speaker who presents remarks on the life and legacy of President Wilson. This box includes items such as “regret letters” sent by invitees who declined to attend the event, as well as the program pamphlets used at some of the Wilson Day dinners.
