DS, signed as president of Washington College, “R. E. Lee,” one lightly-lined page, 6.75 x 9, March 1866. Report card for the standing of R. C. Morrison who was attending Washington College. Morrison receives grades and class standings in eight courses, including Latin, Greek, Physical Science, and Composition, all of which he ranked in the top 10 in his class. Signed at the conclusion in black ink by Lee as the college’s president. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, and some scattered light toning, soiling, and creasing, and a possibly lightly trimmed left edge.
One of the United States’ most well-respected military leaders, Lee was also a dedicated educator who, in August 1865, became president of Washington College in Virginia. The world of higher learning gave him a role in rebuilding the South and creating competently trained professionals. By stressing the classics such as Latin and Greek (as well as writing and the sciences) to students such as Morrison, Lee felt he could achieve this goal. Within his first three years, he was on his way to rebuilding the South through higher learning. He tripled the school’s faculty, grew the student body from 50 to 400 members, and bolstered its financial situation through fundraising. A fantastic item from an often-forgotten role in the military leader’s life.
