As Biographer
Wm. Lee Makes Report !
Noted Engineer's Son Wants (
Professor Ball To Write
Father's Life
Mr. William States Lee, Jr. has
asked Professor T. F. Ball, of the ]
University to write a biography of his I
father, William States Lee, to be pub- :
lished by the Duke Power Company.
William States Lee, world-renowned i
engineer, and for years chief engineer
and vice-president of the Duke Power ,
Company, died in Charlotte, N. C.
March 24. He was perhaps the most
famous engineer of his time, being '
connected with many famous engi- '
neering societies, both here and abroad.
Mr. Lee was born in Lancaster
county, S. C. 1872, and received his (
education at the Citadel. During his
lifetime, he was connected with many 1
various engineering projects. He was
Mr. James B. Duke's right hand man. (
Professor Ball was also asked to ,
draft the resolutions concerning the ,
death of Mr. Lee, which were passed
by the South Carolina Legislature in ,
its recent session.
Professor Ball is a consulting engi- I
neer for the Duke Power Company, <
and was well acquainted with Lee dur- i
ing his lifetime. t

It was planted many years ago. Perhaps
our fathers and grandfathers
stopped to talk in its pleasant shade. ^
It had passed its prime long before t
we were born. But today age has at- }
tacked it and it is nearly ready to be j
cut down- and taken away. It has t
nearly served out its time.
.We speak of the oldest living alumnus
and point him out with pride, but t
now let us point with pride to the a
oldest living tree on the campus. True, 1
it has been necessary to cut away r
much of its living tissue in order that y
some of the rest might survive for a
few years longer, but still it is the I
oldest living tree, a withering me- p
morial of the past. I
Long years ago an oak sapling was v
planted beside the Maxey monument I
and for many years the sapling rested
in the shade of the'monument. But Ii
little by little it grew and soon the b
monument was in the shade of the F
tree. Gradually it grew and eventually a
overshadowed the other trees on the /
campus. It was vigorous and green ti
and was looked at with pride.
Then a decline set in and gradually ^
the tree became a source of anxiety. '
The tree, the shade for the inonu- '
ment, was about to destroy its charge ^
by dropping its mighty weight upon c
it. Rot and high winds were doing v
their worst and it was a constant
menace. So University authorities j
learned that the tree must suffer rather
than the monument. Last week workers
swarmed over its mighty bulk and
when they were through there was
only one great branch and the gnarled ii
trunk. But the monument is safe and ^
the tree itself is probably saved for a t
few more years. Eventually it will i
have to come down but until then it li
will stand proudly, though a trifle
pathetically, and wave its last branch t
to the sky in memory of the glory it h
once had.
The old tree is dying slowly but our "
grandfathers and fathers still hold it (
in their memories. ji
