Description
“What happened when a strong statesman found himself confined within the limits of a weak office, the French presidency?” This study answers that question.
Raymond Poincaré tested the presidency within the limits of the French Constitution. He hoped to strengthen the office, but while he did exercise considerably more influence than most French presidents, he found that without a constitutional amendment the President could be important but never dominant, influential but never powerful. On the other hand, his conduct in office discredited the time-honored French witticism that “the president hunts rabbits and does not govern.” His record is not without significance in connection with Europe of the future.
This attempt to weigh the personality and part of the career of one of the French Republic’s outstanding statesmen was judged the best monograph submitted on European history in 1941 and won for Professor Wright the annual prize of the Pacific Coast Branch of the American Historical Association.
The study of Poincaré’s term in office offers one of the best opportunities to study the French presidency, for more details have come to light on his administration than on that of any other man to hold that office.

At the time of publication in 1942, Gordon Wright was Assistant Professor of History at the University of Oregon.
