Woolsey was a son of Theodore Dwight Woolsey (1808-1889) and Elizabeth Martha Salisbury (1912-1852).
His father was the 10th President of Yale (1846-1871) and a professor of Greek. In 1860, Theodore was living with his parents and six siblings in New Haven; the family had real estate valued at $14,000 and a personal estate of $20,000. In 1870, the family had real estate valued at $20,000 and a personal estate of $80,000.
After graduating from Yale with BA, he took a year in the Yale Law School, spent two years abroad in travel and a winter at the University of Leipzig, then returned and took his law degree in 1877. That same year, he married Ann Gardner (1855-1892); the couple had two sons.
In 1877, he became Instructor in Public Law at the Yale Law School, and was elected Professor of International Law in 1878. He would teach international law at Yale until 1911. He was one of the founders of “The Yale Review” and was in the Skull and Bones Society.
Among the civil and social offices that he held were those of Councilman of the City of New Haven, member of the East Rock Park Commission and President of the Lawn and Graduates Clubs of New Haven. He was also a member of the Century and University Clubs of New York, the University Club of Boston, the Society of Colonial Wars and the Huguenots’ Society.
In 1889, Woolsey and a friend, Justus S. Hotchkiss, saw golf played for the first time and brought the game to New Haven in the form of a nine-hole course. Theodore Salisbury Woolsey passed away on 24 April 1929.
