Past Presidents
 

George Washington Custis Lee (1832-1913), the son of Robert E. Lee and a former major general on Jefferson Davis's personal staff, was appointed president in 1867. Following criticism of the appointment in the Unionist newspapers, however, Lee reconsidered and declined the position.
