Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Robert E. Lee, Soldier, Patriot, Educator: With Special Reference to His Life and Services at Washington and Lee University Lexington, Va Washington And Lee! What thrilling days, dazzling in splendor, these names revive; what romantic glamour surrounds them; what potent stimulant to youthful ambition; what blessing and benediction to all who cherish liberty, and through it honor purity of motive, and devotion to duty! Washington and Lee! Spiritual father and son were these most eminent Virginians, Southrons, citizens of the world, and a psychic influence seems to have directed them through almost identical physical mold and closely paralleling environment. Both of gentle English origin; born in the county of Westmoreland, Virginia; shortly deprived of a fathers guiding counsel; reared under a mothers influence; early adopting the profession of arms; quickly attaining first rank among military men of their day; brilliant commanders of the greatest soldiers of all × retiring into humbler calling with the serenity of bearing that is the emblem of real greatness. Washington, the exquisite refinement of Colonial purity, prototype and forecast of Lee, the perfect flower of a civilization that all America emulates today. Washington and Lee! At the boundary line of the great University of Washington and Lee, Lexington, Virginia, one approaches a shrine of sacred memories that has no counterpart in America.
