E. Lee; from J. W. Jones' Life and Letters of Robert Edward Lee: "The idea of offering General Lee the presidency of the College of Washington and Lee originated with Hon. Bolivar Christian of Staunton one of the trustees and it was suggested to him by hearing of a remark made by one of his daughters to the effect 'They are offering my father everything except the only thing he will accept a place to earn honest bread while engaged in some useful work.'" Bolivar was the deciding factor behind both the nomination and acceptance of the position for which Lee was at first reluctant. ~~The Nevins bibliography considers Allan's study to be "persuasive" Nevins I 21.
