Founders’ Day: Back By Popular Demand
W&L’s leadership made the regrettable decision in 2021 to “discontinue” Founders’ Day, for reasons they never made clear.
Without George Washington and Robert E. Lee, W&L would not exist and would never have produced generations of virtuous and honorable alumni.
Lee and Washington deserve to be remembered and honored not only for their contributions to W&L, but for the remarkable legacies of character that they left for us to emulate.
The Generals Redoubt is pleased to have supported several local Founders’ Day events in cities across the country. We welcome others to join us in celebrating our Founders, and we urge the Board of Trustees to reinstate Founders’ Day.
