THE LEE MEMORIAL
Press Comments on President
Taft's Endorsement

trSss comments on President
p Tafts Endorsement
Richmond News Leader: One O
the Roosevelt policies which we are
glad to find President Taft c ~ or.
, sing warmingly is that of establish.
ing by private means a great nat.
ional scientific school at Lexington.
Va, in connection with Washington
and Lee University, as a memorial
OF General Robert E Lee. Mr..
Roosevelt favored and supported
the idea with all his characteristic
enthusiasm. A few years ago an
organization was formed to secure
the needed funds. Former Cover
nor Hayward, of South Carolina,
was appointed the active agent. The
failure OF his health, followed by the
panic and other disturbances, halt
ed the movement. Now President
Taft stirs il 70 new life and puts the
powerful i'm pstus of his influence
and popularity behind it. AS we
understand, he insists that the new
institution should not be esta blish-
ed until 81, 00O 900 or ST, 900, 900 had
been secured. Then it should be
conducted on large lines as the GEN.
trail point aud headquarters for
scientific and engineering instruct
ions for the whole country.
We think it is impossible to mag
me memorial to General Lee more
graceful, appropriate and perma-
1ently useful than this would be or
me that he would prefer to it if his q
'olce could be heard. We can
imagine no greater benefit to the |
ountry than to have the people and 4
he youth OF all sections made fami- g
lar with General Lee and trained d
nder the influence and traditions 4
f his character and life. We would o
Ike to see the people of Virginia D
Mist earnestly in the plan, so
raciously and strongly put before B
lem, and to give it definite shape d.
I'D start.

Baltimore Sun: In one OF bis
Richmond speeches President Taft
said that the time had now come
when the North can admire to the
full the heroes OF the South, and he
suggested the creation of splendid
memorial of the greatest OF the
Southern heroes, Robert e. Lee, in
such a form as would be most ac-
ceptable to General Lee if he we're
living. This memorial, in Mr.. Taft's
opinion, should be great school of
engineering at Washington and Lee
University.
Washington and Lee University. |
at Lexington, Va, is one of the
most venerable and honorable of all
our institutions of learning. 1t was
established as an academy no less
than 100 years ago--to wit, in 1749.
In 1882 it was chartered and was
generously endowed by George
Washington. In 1902, when the
Cincinnati Society dissolved, they
made a donation to it. From 6
1865 to his death in 1870, Gen. |
'rai Lee was the president of
he university. He was succeeded !
~ his son, Gen. George Washington
