Nicolay, Lincoln’s private secretary, "enjoyed the full intimate friendship of the President few men were as close to Lincoln as Nicolay or so fully enjoyed his confidence" (DAB VII: 511). After serving as Lincoln’s assistant and confidant, Hay achieved literary fame as the co-author of the definitive biography of Lincoln, and for his skill in helping edit Lincoln’s Complete Works (first published beginning in 1894). Lincoln Memorial University, founded in 1897, produced this edition not only to fund its endowment but also "to open a fountain of Lincolniana to which all true Americans will repair to refresh their faith in, and love and zeal for, American ideals and institutions."
