Counts. As the members gath

ful refreshments consisting of

fruit cake and coca-cola. Fol
lowing the social hour, Miss
Dorothy Buzhardt, Chaplain,
led in the pledge to the flags,
the ritual, and the prayer. Mrs.
A. T. Neely, president, intro
duced the historian, Miss Jua
nita Hitt, who told of the 60th
anniversary of Calvin Crozier
Chapter, which was January 22
1909. The chapter observed tht
following “Days to Remembei
in January”:
January 1—Birthdays of Jas.
Ryder Randall and Paul Hamil
ton Hayne.
January 8—Birthday of Jas.
Longstreet.
January 14—Birthday of Mat
thew Fontaine Maury.
January 19—Birthdays of
Robert E. Lee and Edgar Allen
Poe.
January 21st—Birthday of
“Stonewall” Jackson.
Jan. 25—Birthday of George
E. Pickett.
The special topic for the
program of the afternoon was
“Robert Edward Lee.” Mrs. A
H. Counts read the poem “Lee”
from the Collected Poems of
Archibald Rutledge.
Mrs. O. O. Copeland gave a
most interesting talk on “Lee—
The Devoted Father and Christ
ian Gentleman.” She gave an
account of the early life of Lee
and how the influence and
training of his mother, the be
loved Ann Hill Carter had been
the guiding light throughout
his entire life. She vividly des
cribed Lee's devotion to his wife
and to his children. She read
sketches from “The Letters and
Recollections of Gen Lee” by
his son. Mrs. Copeland talked
of Lee as the “Christian Gen
tleman” who depended on God
as the source of his strength.
Gen. Lee attended daily wor
ship services and it was while
he was attending a church ser
vice that he became fatally
stricken. General Lee knew that
the hour had come when all the
cares and anxieties of his
crowded life were at an end.
Thus, he bowed with resigna
tion to the command of the
Master he had followed so long
with reverence.
Gen. Lee was a devoted fa
ther and husband. His children
remembered their happy home
life with their father. Robert
Jr., Fitzhugh, Custis, Mildred,
Agnes, Mary and Annie knew
that Gen. Lee was an ideal
father.
Mrs. W. Roy Anderson told
vividly of “Lee—The Soldier.”
Mrs. Anderson passed interest
ing pictures for the members
to view. She told of Lee's train
ing at West Point, of his early
services as a soldier in the
U. S. army during the Mexican
war. He resigned his commiss
ion in the U. S. army on April
20, 1861. He was chosen to
command the forces of his na
tive state, Virginia, at the be
ginning of the Confederate war.
In 1862 he commanded the
army intrusted with the de-

fense of Richmond. Gen l*e
defeated Gen. Burnside's army
at Fredericksburg and also de
feated Gen. Hooker at Chancel
lors vi lie. Lee won a glorious
victory at Manassas.
Gen. Lee was stationed at
Charleston, S. C. and Savan
nah, Ga., where he directed the
defenses of both cities. Gen
Lee was the same in victory
or defeat, always calm and
contained. There were the bat
ties of Gettysburg, the Wil
derness, Spottsylavania, Cold
Harbor, Petersburg, and the
Crater, then the final meeting
with Grant at Appomattox.
It has been said that General
Lee with his bared head, and
tears flowing freely down his
manly cheeks, bade goodbye to
his army of starved and rag
ged soldiers.
Mrs. R. E. Hanna was to
have spoken on “Lee — Tht
Educator.” Because of illnest
she could not attend and her
part was briefly discussed by
Miss Juanita Hitt.
Miss Hitt told of Lee be
coming President of Washing
ton College, now Washington A
Lee University at Lexington,
Va. The ultimate monument to
Lee is this university. This
university which was dead, was
made alive. It is alive today
largely in the mold he formed
for it. It breathes the inspira
tion he brought. His spirit ab
ides as the principal force in
its educational enterprise. Lee
served as president of the col
lege from October 2, 1865, un
til his death on October 12,
1870. During these five years
he made a contribution, not on
ly to the South, but to the na
tion and higher education.
Lee inspired his students by
his example of wise adminis
tration and personal honor and
inttegrity. And, in acknowledg
ment of man's dependence upon
God as the source of all his
strength, Lee caused to be
built on the college campus a
place of worship, a simple, un
pretentious building that would
later become a lasting symbol
of his influence upon the col
lege—the Lee Chapel.
So great was the influence
of Lee upon Washington Col
lege during the brief five years
of his administration that each
of the 1300 young men who
study at Washington A Lee
University today is touched di
rectly, both in academic and
personal ways, by Lee's edu
cational foresight and his
noble character.
