1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V. Our First President. General Stephen D. Lee, LL.D., President Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College, April I, 1880, to May 1, 1899. The bravest are the tenderest, The loving are the daring. As a soldier, the author of this brief sketch served under the late Lieutenant-General Stephen D. Lee the last year of the Civil War, and as a member of his Faculty and as his next-door neighbor was intimately associated with him for sixteen years. In war and in peace, our first President was found, in every crisis of life, a great man — great in the nobility of character that faces duty, that fights in the open with hard blows, that is magnanimous to a defeated foe. that holds no vengeful malice against the foe who is successful. There is no finer model after which the young men of Mississippi can fashion their lives; for he was a great leader, a staunch friend, a just enemy, a generous neighbor, a loving father, a tender husband — a noble gentleman. William Howard Magruder. -Nine
