Drury Lacy Jr. was the third president of Davidson College. A native of Virginia, he was a Presbyterian pastor at a church in New Bern, North Carolina and then in Raleigh, North Carolina before becoming president.[1]
As president, Davidson received a large financial commitment from a Maxwell Chambers, making Davidson the wealthiest private college in the entire South. Lacy left Davidson in 1860 and eventually became a chaplain in the Confederate States Army. After the war, he returned to the ministry until his death.[2]
