Washington & Lee University announced that it has received a $100M  bequest 
from a source who desires to remain anonymous at this time.   However, the 
rumor is that the bequest is conditioned upon the University  dropping the Lee 
name in favor of some other well know Virginia since the Lee  name brings to mind 
the leader of the slave states during the War.  The  proposal is apparently 
before the board of trustees.
 
Fair or unfair, and what Virginian would be eleigible to replace Lee in the  
name of this great university?
