Harcombe

From ClemsonWiki

Harcombe is the east campus dining hall, located next to and above the old Edgar A. Brown University Union and the student post office. It used to be famous for the PHD until undergoing renovations around 2002, and has since become the premiere dining hall on campus. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in the standard all you can eat fashion, and offers pasta, a hot bar, sandwiches, pizza, a grill for burgers and dogs, soft serve, cereal - just what you'd expect.

It is named for Capt. John Douglas J.D. Harcombe, mess officer at Clemson for 26 years, arriving in 1920 as an experienced Army mess officer. Harcombe oversaw feeding a corps that grew from 847 to ~3,000 students. He died at home early Monday morning, November 11, 1946, age 64, following several months of poor health.
