GENERAL LEE AS AN IDEAL FOR THE GREATERJIUNIVERSITY, BEING AN INTER- PRETATION OF THE GREAT LEADER ' S HOPES AND LIFE-WORK BY ONE OF HIS FACULTY, PROFESSOR EDWARD S. JOYNES, NOW OF THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA. To the Editors of the CALYX, Washington and Lee University : You ask me to give you at once, without time for reflection or preparation, my view of what were General Lee ' s ideals, as President of Washington College, and what should be the ideals of that Greater University, to be founded and developed in his name. I may reply that General Lee ' s ideals were those of 1865 70, and though far in advance of the attainments of that day, they do not, and should not, suffice for the ideal of the new century. What the university of the future shall be, only the future can determine. We can no longer measure our aspirations by the achievements or aspirations of the past. But for this Greater University — this new Washington and Lee, founded and endowed in memory and in honor of President Lee — the ideal is always set it is General Lee himself — his life, his deeds, his character. To such a man our ambition should be to build a worthy monument, not in stone or brass, but in living service as he lived to serve his country and his fellow-men. That such is the monument which General Lee would most have desired, those who knew him are sure. Let, then, the ideal of your Greater University be to realize in its character and influence the great qualities of its great Exemplar, and so to perpetuate the in- fluence of that great example upon succeeding generations. There could be no higher ideal than this — no nobler inspiration no greater or more difficult task for those who shall build or administer your Greater University. That such and no less may be their aspiration and effort, and that through the Greater Washington and Lee University General Lee may be made a living presence and power forever, is my earnest hope. To have lived only for a few years in the light of that great character is my own most grateful memory. To live for- ever in the inheritance of his name and example will be the most precious endowment of your Greater University.
