Lee was observed by appropriate ex-
ircises Saturday at Washington and
Lee University, which. bears his name,
over which he was so long , the guid

President Denny's Address.
President Denny in introducing

referred to General Lee as
the
greatest man who has ever adorned
the presidency of an . institutin of
learning, not merely within Virginia,
not merely within the South, but I
lare also to say within the limits
of the American Republic." He de
clared that the Confederate general's
work at the head of the institution
will some day "rest like a capital
upon the solid shaft of his civic and
military renown." The life and
services of Robert E. Lee, he said,
is the institution's largest asset, its
richest tradition, and its noblest
memory. The president referred to
the fact that all sectional strife and
sectional hate had ended and that
-students are now in attendance at the
university from every section of the
country and declared that it was a
genuine pleasure to welcome a great
citizen of Massachusetts, a gallant
soldier and officer in the Union army,
who bore himself as bravely in bat
tle and laid down his sword as free
from stain as did any son of Vir
ginia in that fierce ordeal throng
which "God remolded and cast anew
the nation."
"The coming of a man, distin
guished in the services of his coun
try," he said, "from the capital of
New England, in midwinter, a
thousand miles to the tomb of Ro
bert E. Lee in order to strew fresh
Sowers upon his grave, is a sure evi
dence that Virginia is loyal to the
national flag."
President Denny then conferred
upon Mr. Adams the -degree of Doc
tor of Laws and presented him to the
audience as "a son of Washington
and Lee, and therefore, a son of Virginia."
The speaker: was received with
great applause and for over an hour
held his audience's closest attention.
Mr. Adams at the start captivated
the great - audience when he said : -
"I would have done as Lee. did,
though . it may be , deemed traitorous
to say so." - 1
' Celebrated at Richmond.

mention of thename Lee was greet
ed with applause. Although unable
to attend, President Roosevelt sent
a letter in which he extolled the vir-
ues of the Confederacy's great gen.

suggestion ' that "the centennial anni
versary be celebrated by the 'estab
lishment of a permanent Lee emoriaJ
at some great representative educa
tional institution of the South, met
with instant favor.
The exercises were presided. ovei
by Hon. Hilary A. Herbert, former
Secretary of the Navy, and were op

salary, were offered; him. He declin
ed to go abroad, saying that he
sought only "a place to earn honest
bread while engaged in some useful
work." This statement brought him
the offer of the presidency of Wash

Lexington, Virginia, which had grown
out o a modest foundation known as
Liberty Hall Academy. . Washington
had endowed this academy with one
hundred shares of stock that had
been , given him . by the State of Vir

Admiral Davis was' greatly shocked
and pained and paid a. formal visit to
Governor Swettenham, informing
him that the Ujnted States battle

gunboat Yankton would sail at once.

Davis said that immediate compliance
with Governor Swettenham 's request
was the only course consistent, with
the dignity of the United. States.
The friction between the governor
and. 'the admiral began with the ar
rival of the American war vessels,
when the governor objected to the
firing of a salute in his honor, on
the ground that the citizens might
mistake1 the firing for a new earth
quake. He also declared there was

Chairman Herbert then' delivered
a brief address, after which he read
an extract from the "Life of Thomas

Koosevelt, in which he referred to
the Confederate leader as the "Verj
greatest of all the captains that the
English speaking people have
brought forth," and that the world
had never seen better soldiers than
those who followed him.
