Call to action

Summary

One of the oldest colleges in the country, Washington and Lee University (W&L) was founded in 1749 and is named after George Washington (who bequeathed the school its first major endowment) and Confederate general Robert E. Lee (a former president of the institution). The highly ranked liberal arts school in Lexington, Virginia is attended by about 1,800 students who take courses in about 40 major areas including public policy, Russian area studies, neuroscience, physics, and biochemistry. The student-faculty ratio is 9-to-1. Former US Supreme Court Justice and W&L alumni Lewis F. Powell donated his personal and professional papers to the university's law school.
