<div>The Woodland Cemetery, or Cemetery Hill as it is more commonly known, is located on the wooded knoll adjacent to the South Stands of Clemson Memorial Stadium. <br />
<br />
<br />
== The Calhoun Family Plot ==<br />
<br />
Although the official title of "The Woodland Cemetery" was conferred upon it in 1924 by the Clemson Board of Trustees, the site had been used as a cemetery for much longer. In 1825, John C. Calhoun purchased the Fort Hill plantation and the surrounding property. Twelve years later, the infant grandson of [[John C. Calhoun]], John Caldwell, became the first member of the Calhoun family to be buried on the plot of land that would become known as Cemetery Hill. In the years that followed, 16 more members of the Calhoun family were buried on the Calhoun Family Plot.<br />
<br />
<br />
== The Woodland Cemetery ==<br />
<br />
Upon the suggestion of President [[Walter Merritt Riggs]] to create a faculty cemetery for those "who may desire to avail themselves of the privilege", the Clemson Board of Trustees voted in July of 1924 for the creation of "The Woodland Cemetery". This was the result of a two year study conducted by a committee appointed by Riggs. In the end, the study determined the only proper place to honor such faculty members who would be buried here was upon Cemetery Hill adjacent to the Calhoun Family Plot.<br />
<br />
<br />
== The Woodland Cemetery Today ==<br />
<br />
After being appointed President of Clemson University, [[James Frazier Barker]] made the following observation about the Woodland Cemetery:<br />
<br />
"As President of Clemson University, I feel I have been given a sacred trust--the obligation to lead our community into the future while preserving and honoring our past. There is no place in which this sacred trust is more tangible than Woodland Cemetery, more commonly known as Cemetery Hill."<br />
<br />
To this end, President Barker appointed the Woodland Cemetery Stewardship Committee in December 2000 and charged it to "protect and enhance the integrity, character and traditions of Cemetery Hill." <br />
<br />

<br />
<h3>The Cemetery Chronicles </h3><br />
<br />
In an effort to educate Clemson alumni as well as the general public on the importance of Cemetery Hill and its inhabitants, the Woodland Cemetery Stewardship Committee and Clemson World launched the [[Cemetery Chronicles]]. In each quarterly edition of the Clemson World since Summer 2001, an article on either an inhabitant of the Cemetery or an important feature of the Cemetery has been featured.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Notable Inhabitants of the Woodland Cemetery ==<br />
<br />
Since 1924, many men and women who have made oustanding contributions to Clemson have been buried on this sacred ground. The following list includes some of the notable names that can be found upon Cemetery Hill:<br />
<br />
* Walter Merritt Riggs, 5th President of Clemson College<br />
* Enoch Walter Sikes, 6th President of Clemson College<br />
* Joseph Sherman, Former Director of Alumni and Public Relations<br />
* David Wistar (D.W.) Daniel, Former Professor of English and Dean of the School of the Arts and Sciences at Clemson College<br />

<div>Welborn Bus Lines, Inc. was a motor bus common carrier in operation from the 1940s to 1989 that was home-based at [[Donaldson Center]] in [[Greenville]], South Carolina in its later years. Operating a mixed fleet of Greyhound-style General Motors/MCI coaches and Trailways-style Silver Eagle model 01s, Welborn connected Greenville with Easley, Pickens, Clemson, Seneca, Walhalla, Westminster, and offered "vacation travel planning, individual & group tours, charter busses (sic) & service", according to their yellow pages advert in the October 1979 Southern Bell telephone directory. Their color-scheme was a Trailways-like white with red trim and lettering over silver sides. Their operation received mixed reviews from customers. After the disastrous experience of [[Tiger Band]] on the roadtrip to Jacksonville for the [[1977]] [[Gator Bowl]], (bathrooms not pumped out at Jax, broken seats on board, tire failure en route back to Clemson), Welborn was not invited to bid on the [[1978]] band contract, and Greyhound took over for the next several years. It changed its name to "Travelways, Inc.", probably on [[July 28]], [[1980]]. <br />
Their one inch by two inch box ad in the listings advised the reader to "Call Collect - 277-6713".<br />
<br />
The volume "South Carolina - The WPA Guide to the Palmetto State", compiled by the Workers of the Writers' Program of the Work Projects Administration in the State of South Carolina, copyright 1941, and republished by the University of South Carolina Press in 1988, noted that the [[Greenville]] bus station located at 105 West Washington Street was served by Atlantic Greyhound, Eagle Bus, Red Top, and "Welborne Bus Lines." (Page 242).<br />
<br />
State records show a [[March 3]], [[1948]] charter date for the corporation.<br />
<br />
On-line records of Flxible Clipper intercity bus serial numbers show two Clippers, Model 29B147, c/n 8025, and Model 33B148, c/n 8933, sold to Welborn Bus Lines of Liberty, South Carolina. Flxible built Clipper models from 1937 to 1942, and resumed production, 1944 to 1950. A Flxible VisiCoach, model number 218B1-50-33IC, c/n 30065, was delivered on [[October 27]], [[1950]]. (Reference: Flxible VisiCoach Serial Numbers - http://www.flxibleowners.org/SERIALNOS/vis01.htm.) VisiCoaches were manufactured between 1950 and 1958.<br />
<br />
On [[August 10]], [[1966]], the Acting Chairman of the South Carolina Public Service Commission directed Welborn Bus Lines to answer charges by the South Carolina Selective Service that the company had violated its contract:<br />
<br />
YOU ARE THEREFORE ORDERED to appear before this Commission at 11:30 a.m., Wednesday, [[August 17]], [[1966]], at its offices in the Wade Hampton State Office Building, Columbia, South Carolina, to show cause, if any you can, why your charter rights, applicable to the transportation of draftees on behalf of the South Carolina Selective Service, should not be revoked by reason of certain alleged irregularities in the transportation of such draftees, such irregularities, if true, being in violation of the statutes, rules, and regulations of this Commission in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 58-1422 of the Code of Laws of South Carolina (1962) and of Rule 92 filed with the Secretary of State for the State of South Carolina. BY ORDER OF THE COMMISSION. (Reference: Rule to Show Cause, Docket No. 13149, Order No. 13524, August 10, 1966 - http://dms.psc.sc.gov/pdf/orders/44F23C18-DFA7-4C69-7E5BE1E167B130FC.pdf.)<br />
<br />
According to South Carolina state records, Travelways, Inc., registered agent - D. Jack Pharr, Address: 507 Cedar Lane Road, Greenville, South Carolina, was dissolved on [[September 29]], [[1989]], in a Forfeiture case.

[[List of Presidents of Clemson|President Emeritus]] [[Walter T. Cox]] (b. [[September 19]], [[1918]] d. [[June 28]], [[2006]]) was a member of [[Clemson University]]'s Class of [[1939]], and was the third alumnus to rise to the status of president ([[1985]]-[[1986]]). "Dean" Cox served Clemson in almost every role imaginable, from an offensive guard for the [[football]] team while a student, to the football team's line coach, from the [[baseball]] coach and ticket manager, to an assistant to the president and director of alumni affairs, from [[dean]] of students, to vice president for student affairs. Dean Cox devoted his life to Clemson, and even after his retirement was often seen around campus saying hello to fellow Tigers.<br />
<br />
'''Biography'''<br />
<br />
Walter Thompson Cox was born [[September 19]], [[1918]] in Belton, South Carolina, the son of Walter T. and Grace Campbell Cox. He entered Clemson College in the fall of [[1935]]. He served as a company commander in the Cadet Corps, and was an all-state guard on the football team. He graduated with a degree in General Science in [[1939]]. Returning in [[1940]] during a year of post graduate study, Cox anchored the offensive line while playing for the football team. The season was a success, as Clemson defeated Boston College 6-3 in the Cotton Bowl. It was the Tigers' first post-season appearance.<br />
<br />
After serving in the United States Army in the South Pacific theatre during the years [[1942]]-[[1943]], Cox returned to Clemson. During the [[1940s]] he served in a variety of athletic positions including assistant football coach, ticket manager, baseball coach, recruiter and [[IPTAY]] promoter. He filled in for the Boxing Coach who was called into the military. He also helped clear land with handsaws, chains and mules for construction of [[Memorial Stadium]]. In [[1951]], he assumed dual responsibilities as Director of Public Relations and Alumni Affairs as well as assistant to President [[Robert F. Poole]]. In [[1955]] Cox was named Dean of Student Affairs (later Vice President for Student Affairs, in [[1965]]), a position at which he served until [[1985]]. At the request of the Board of Trustees, he left the student affairs post in [[July]] [[1985]] to become Clemson's tenth president. He was the third Clemson graduate to assume the school's presidency, serving until [[Max Lennon]] took the position in [[March]] [[1986]]. Cox served from [[July 1]], [[1985]] to [[March 6]], [[1986]], 249 days. On [[April 5]], [[1986]], the [[Board of Trustees]] met to confer the title of president emeritus on Cox. In a certificate of appreciation, board chairman [[Louis Batson, Jr.]] wrote:<br />
:"During his eight months as Clemson's tenth president, Walter Thompson Cox moved swiftly and decisively and with patient firmness of purpose to restore the confidence of the faculty, staff and student body, to boost the morale of alumni and friends, and to reestablish with the people and leaders of South Carolina Clemson's reputation for high standards and sound management."<br />
<br />
Cox officially retired in the [[spring]] of [[1987]], though he continued to be involved in development activities on behalf of Clemson University until his death in [[2006]].<br />
<br />
Dean Cox was dismounting Old Glory at the end of Flag Day on [[June 14]] at his home on [[Folger Street]], when he took a fall that put him in the hospital and began his final decline. Walter Cox passed away on [[June 28]], [[2006]] in Greenville, and is dearly missed by the entire Clemson family.<br />
<br />
Cox was married to former Mary Johnson in [[1940]]. Together they had four children: Walter T. III, Frank, Grace, and William. After Mary Johnson Cox's death in [[1985]], Walter Cox was remarried to the former Jenelle Garrett Cox in [[November]] of [[1986]].<br />
<br />
* [[Cox Plaza]] is named for President Cox and was dedicated on [[November 20]], [[1998]]. A sculpture of Dean Cox sitting on a bench was created by T. J. Dixon and James Nelson. <br />
<br />
* [[Walter T. Cox Boulevard]], the portion of S.C. Route 93 that passes through the Clemson University campus, was named for him on [[June 17]], [[2002]].<br />
<br />
* Cox received the Clemson Alumni Association's [[Distinguished Service Award]] in 1965.<br />
<br />
==A personal remembrance==<br />
When the Clemson Wiki editor, [[C. Mark Sublette]] was a freshman in [[1974]], and did not know any administrators on campus, he missed a deadline for turning in a registration computer card which had a stated late fine of $25. Told that he had to see the Dean of Student Affairs to avoid the penalty, he was directed to Dean Cox's office. Upon first meeting the Dean, Cox arose from his chair, came round his desk, slapped Sublette on the back and said, "Ah knew yore Daddy when he was heah! How is [[Richard A. Sublette|Richard]]?" After receiving the whole family history up to then, he leaned out his door and said to his secretary, "Will you type up the appropriate form? Ah believe we can waive this fee for Mr. Sublette." That's the kind of man that Dean Cox was.<br />

<div>[[Image:Tillman_from_bowman.jpg|thumb|Tillman Hall]]<br />
[[Image:Clemson_from_Clemson_House.jpg|thumb|Tillman Hall and Bowman field at night]]<br />
[[Tillman Hall]] is not the oldest building on the campus, but it is one of the most recognized building at Clemson. It overlooks [[Bowman Field]]. It was dedicated in [[1891]] and was originally called "The Agricultural Building." Much of the building was destroyed in a fire on [[May 22]], [[1894]].<br />
<br />
Known as the [[Main Building]] for the first half of the twentieth century, it was formally named Tillman Hall in honor of Governor Benjamin Tillman, one of the seven original trustees of Clemson, by the [[Board of Trustees]] at their meeting in the first week of [[July]], [[1946]].<br />
<br />
Today, Tillman Hall houses the [[Eugene T. Moore]] [[School of Education]], the school of [[Technology and Human Resources]], and the [[Calhoun Honors College]]. Tillman Hall also has a [[Tillman Auditorium|small auditorium]] that is often used for guest speakers or small presentations. [[AFROTC]] is also located in Tillman Hall.<br />
<br />
Tillman's tower holds a clock which chimes every 15-minutes with a 47-bell carillon. The original bell sits in a monument in [[The Carillon Garden]]. In front of the building is a statue of [[Thomas Green Clemson]]. It is named for Benjamin Ryan Tillman, governor of South Carolina [[1890]]-[[1895]], US Senator [[1895]]-[[1918]], Life Trustee of Clemson Agricultural College [[1888]]-[[1918]]. The building itself was completed in [[1893]] and is on the National Register of Historic Places.<br />
<br />
'''Trivia'''<br />
<br />
The original wooden 4X4 cradle which held the first bell was inscribed with names of visitors to the tower over the years - probably mostly unauthorized!<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Tigerama]] is the Friday night portion of the Clemson [[Homecoming]] weekend experience. Sponsored by [[Blue Key]], an extended pep rally is held, followed by a pyrotechnics display.<br />
<br />
Student organizations compete, first to have their sketch proposals weeded out to determine the ones that will actually be staged, and then against one another during the production section of the [[Tigerama]] rally. Each year has theme - in 1999 it was about the upcoming millenium change, for example. A guest host emcee is standard. [[Tiger Band]], the [[cheerleaders]], and Company C-4 of the [[Pershing Rifles]] are also featured.<br />
<br />
The first Tigerama was staged on [[November 8]], [[1957]]. Celebrating fifty years of tradition on [[October 20]], [[2006]], Tigerama honored founder [[Joe Sherman]] with the theme, "There is Something in These Hills".<br />
<br />
Originally held in [[Death Valley]], the gathering has been moved to [[Littlejohn Coliseum]] in recent years, with the fireworks show moving from just outside the stadium near the ticket office to the lowlands near the [[East Bank]] of [[Lake Hartwell]].<br />
<br />
For many years, station staffers at [[WSBF]] were instrumental in producing the skits, as the soundtrack to be played over the public address system was recorded beforehand at the station studios, with the players miming their lines during the Friday evening presentation. In recent years, production has been handled in-house at Littlejohn Coliseum.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Tiger Town Tavern''' ('''TTT'''), also known as [[Triple T's]], is a bar and restaurant located on [[College Avenue]] in [[downtown]] [[Clemson, South Carolina|Clemson]]. It is a popular lunch location and nightspot.<br />
<br />
== General Info ==<br />
After 10 p.m., you must be 21 to enter. TTT's is known for it's 21st birthday t-shirts (given free to all people celebrating their 21st birthday) and its unhygenic bathrooms. There are also several pool tables available on a first-come, first-served basis. Unfortunately, NTN <!---*What's NTN?*---> [[Trivia]] has been discontinued. TTT's is also a popular [[pre-game]] hangout (must be 21 to enter on game days). [This policy leads to gameday misunderstanding between a sub-21 patron who is denied entrance in the fall of [[2009]], and an exchange of letters in [[The Tiger]]. -Ed.] Bingo is played on Tuesday nights and trivia is offered between 10 p.m. and midnight on Wednesdays.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
Tiger Town Tavern is located in the oldest College Avenue business structure and actually occupies two buildings that were combined during a remodelling in the summer of [[1980]]. The single story portion at 116 College Avenue, was a hardware store named [[The Feed Bag]] until about [[1968]]. The first "bar" in downtown, The [[Study Hall]], had opened in [[1967]] and when the two operators split up, one kept the [[Study Hall]] and the other renovated the [[Feed Bag]] into the [[Red Carpet Lounge]] in the fall of [[1968]]. A food menu was offered in the early years. An advert in [[The Tiger]] in the fall of [[1970]] proclaimed "Hot Home Cooked Meals, Short Orders, 8 a.m.-11 p.m." and offered "Live entertainment nightly, 8-12 p.m." Drafts were 25 cents during Happy Hour, 2-7 p.m. By [[1974]] it primarily vended beer and music was provided by a jukebox. Wooden nickels were distributed with the purchase of a pitcher and a given number of them could be redeemed for a pony keg.<br />
<br />
The Red Carpet met its demise after an incident on [[September 22]], [[1977]] when a 19-year-old Central teenager shot a Seneca resident in the left thigh (no students were involved) in the back of the lounge. The establishment's reputation was badly blemished and it never recovered its former popularity, closing that winter.<br />
<br />
Tiger Town Tavern opened in the old Red Carpet location in the fall of [[1978]]. The two-story building attached to the lounge had seen a variety of businesses on both levels including apartments upstairs in the [[1920's]] and [[1930's]]. From [[1961]] to [[1967]], it housed [[Skelton's Home and Auto]]. By [[1974]] the ground floor was occupied by a [[Pizza Hut]] franchise with [[Rainbow Graphics]] screen printing business and [[Images]] photo studio upstairs. [[Images]] was run by [[Newry]], South Carolina resident and historian [[Rick Hiser]]. When the pizza shop relocated to another location on [[Tiger Boulevard]], the [[Tiger Bite Site]] restaurant took over for several years. It then moved up the street and as the other tenants moved on, the Tiger Town management gained the lease to the adjoining structure and broke through the wall downstairs into the former eatery and expanded the lounge during the summer of [[1980]]. Students at [[Clemson University|Clemson]] in the late [[1970's]] and early [[1980's]] still tend to refer to the "old side" and "new side" of Tiger Town.<br />
<br />
In [[1988]]-[[1989]], the city of Clemson made an abortive attempt to gain control of the business location by blocking renewal of the Tavern's lease from the absentee owner who lived in Arlington, Virginia. A campaign of Tavern loyalists' letter-writing inundated the City Hall and the city quietly abandoned its proposal. In [[1991]], the Tiger Town management was able to buy the buildings outright and gain control of their occupancy. They immediately undertook additional remodelling including replacing the old wooden front wall of the original one-story structure with clear glass blocks and a stained-glass logo, and a complete ventilation/heating/cooling upgrade, among other changes.<br />
<br />
A change in drinking laws in the early [[1990's]] raised the legal age of consumption to 21 and most surviving watering holes in Clemson added full kitchens to their operations in order to compensate for the lost alcohol revenue. The "Triple T" followed suit and now offers a full sports bar menu with items named for Clemson-themed athletic figures and events.<br />
<br />
When the multiple-decade-old mini-bottle law was changed on [[January 1]], [[2006]], the management of Tigertown plunked down $64,000 for a service-pour bar system. <br />
<br />
The upstairs of the "new" building became the [[Top of the Tavern]] private club in [[1995]].<br />
<br />
Although Tiger Town Tavern has long had a reputation of being a rock and roll bar, recent reports that Miley Cyrus has been played there in 2010 suggest that the true rock bar of Clemson has shifted to [[Backstreets]] where Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead will be heard, but never pop-teen rock.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
* Founder [[J. C. Cook]] retired at the end of [[2007]].<br />
* The drunken Tiger logo was designed by former bartender and manager [[Marshall Feimster]].<br />
* Current pinball machines at Tigertown are Stern's The Simpson's Pinball Party and Stern's T3 - Rise of the Machines.<br />

<hr />
<div>Tiger Brotherhood was founded in [[1928]] with the purpose of initiating a higher standard of moral conduct at Clemson with the purpose of building a greater Clemson. Since Clemson was a military school at the time, the students (cadets) were under military rule of the commandant. There was no [[Student Government]] and cadets had no "voice" with the administration. Numerous student walkouts occurred in the early years at Clemson and the unrest reached its peak after the [[1924]] incidents and the untimely death of Pres. [[Walter Merritt Riggs]]. The Brotherhood of Tigers was organized in 1924 and all cadets were given membership. The organization proved to be too large and cumbersome to accomplish anything and slowly fell apart. Tiger Brotherhood, organized in [[1928]] by Prof. [[John Logan Marshall]] and nineteen members of the Senior Class, aimed to build a bridge between the students, faculty, staff, and administration. <br />
<br />
Tiger Brotherhood has been instrumental in originating many different Clemson events over the last 80 years. In recent years, the organization has been the driving force behind the [[Founder's Day]] celebrations, [[RC & Moonpie Downhill Run]], [[Tiger Cup]] Speech Competition, [[Mother of the Year]] and the efforts to preserve the [[Woodland Cemetery]], commonly known as Cemetery Hill. In it's infancy, Tiger Brotherhood was the first form of [[Student Government]] on Clemson's campus. In the 1940s, the organization organized the first Clemson Clean-Up that has now reemerged and is called [[Campus Sweep]]. Other signs of Tiger Brotherhood around campus include the famous [[Littlejohn Tiger]] sculpture and the [[Stone Gates]] at the entrance to campus. The final set of gates, to be placed at the west entrance near the [[Lake Hartwell]] dikes, has been paid for and will be added to the Clemson landscape in the near future.<br />
<br />
== From the Tiger Brotherhood website: ==<br />
<br />
''"Tiger Brotherhood is an honorary service fraternity at Clemson University. It still embraces the same basic tenets established by its founders, led by [[John Logan Marshall]] in [[1928]]. Tiger Brotherhood promotes high standards of social and ethical conduct, while recognizing in its members a strong devotion to Clemson, coupled with a character commensurate with a typical Clemson gentleman. The organization embodies an unequaled cross-sectional representation of the Clemson community. Students, faculty and staff all work within the bonds of brotherhood to champion a closer relationship. One for all and all for one, with Clemson and its many traditions and undying spirit as the central focus, Tiger Brotherhood today provides a viable, flexible and continuing forum for generating ideas and performing unending service to Clemson."''<br />
<br />
== Current Tiger Brotherhood Projects ==<br />
<br />
Many members have responsibilities from other organizations. These responsibilities provide opportunities to assist in multiple projects. Worthy causes have included campus safety, visitor parking, Clemson ring quality, and others as well. The only projects officially garnering Tiger Brotherhood's name include the Clemson Days of Traditions [[Calendar]] and the Woodland Cemetery Preservation Project.<br />
<br />
====Clemson Days of Tradition Calendar====<br />
<br />
The Clemson Days of Tradition [[Calendar]] is distributed to all incoming first-time Clemson students and faculty. All other sales earn funds for producing the calendar each year, with profits intended to help aid in the construction of a student memorial for all Clemson students who have passed away prior to receiving their degree. Further information concerning the calendars can be found at http://www.clemson.edu/traditions-calendar [http://www.clemson.edu/traditions-calendar].<br />
<br />
====Cemetery Hill Project====<br />
<br />
The Woodland Cemetery on Cemetery Hill is arguably the most historically significant location on Clemson's campus. Many men and women who have helped shaped the Clemson known and loved today are buried on these grounds. The Calhoun Cemetery sits atop the hill surrounded by an iron fence. On [[January 24]], [[1924]], Clemson President [[Walter Merritt Riggs]] was laid to rest outside the Calhoun plot and became the first non-Calhoun buried there. In an effort to bring more awareness to Woodland Cemetery, "[[Cemetery Chronicles]]" are posted periodically within [[Clemson World]] magazine. The recent renovations to the gates and the surrounding area are a direct result of this effort. During campus sweep each year, members of Tiger Brotherhood work to clean the cemetery. For more information visit the Clemson University web site. The Clemson World Magazine from the Summer of 2004 has a great article about the project: http://www.clemson.edu/clemsonworld/archive/2004/summer04/cemetery.htm [http://www.clemson.edu/clemsonworld/archive/2004/summer04/cemetery.htm]<br />

The '''Southern Railway Company''' was created on [[July 1]], [[1894]] by the consolidation and reorganization of several bankrupt southern railroads by J.P. Morgan & Co., New York Bankers. Its reporting marks were SOU.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
Train service first reached [[Calhoun, South Carolina]] (later [[Clemson, South Carolina|Clemson]]) on [[September 28]], [[1873]] after the Atlanta & Richmond Air Line Railway spent three years constructing a five-foot gauge line between [[Wikipedia:Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]] and [[Charlotte]]. The line went into foreclosure in [[1877]] and was sold, becoming part of the Richmond & Danville Railroad, known as the Piedmont Air Line Route. Controlled by the Clyde family steamship operators, their railroad holdings went insolvent in the financial crisis of [[1893]] and the Southern Railway System was created in [[1894]] as the financial offices of John Pierpoint Morgan in New York City consolidated many insolvent southern lines, with the track though [[Calhoun, South Carolina|Calhoun]], founded in [[1892]], becoming part of the Washington, D.C.-[[Wikipedia:Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]] mainline.<br />
<br />
The line through [[Calhoun]] was rebuilt and realigned in [[1915]]-[[1916]], and the concrete box underpass on the old [[Six Mile Highway]], now [[Highway 133]], lasted until [[1976]] when it was replaced with the current railroad bridge during a road-widening project. On [[June 25]], [[2009]], there was a public meeting at the [[Clemson]] [[Chamber of Commerce]] to discuss replacing the [[1976]] structure to accommodate increasing traffic needs at the only spot where the rail line is crossed in the City of [[Clemson]].<br />
<br />
Although the Southern had a fleet of handsome steam locomotives in the 1920s and 1930s, they were aging as World War II approached, and Depression conditions had prevented replacing older power. Therefore, the Southern Railway was one of the earlier railroads to embrace diesel technology, and they began ordering the new engines prior to the onset of the war. The last regular steam operation by the Southern came on [[June 17]], [[1953]] when Heavy Mikado No. 6330 dropped its fires in Chattanooga after a freight run.<br />
<br />
Clemson President [[Robert C. Edwards]] was successful in the early [[1960s]] in convincing Southern President [[D.W. Brosnan]] to switch the main stop for the area from [[Seneca]] to the college town. <br />
<br />
The Southern would continue to offer passenger service through Clemson until [[February 1]], [[1979]], when the National Rail Passenger Corporation, popularly known as [[Amtrak]], assumed responsibility for the [[Southern Crescent]], one of only two privately operated passenger trains in the country (The other was the Rio Grande Zephyr, operated by the Denver & Rio Grande Western, between Denver, Colorado and Oakland, California). The Southern Railway System would continue to operate freight trains through Clemson until it was merged out of existence with the creation of [[Norfolk Southern]] on [[June 1]], [[1982]], as the Southern linked up with the Norfolk & Western Railway.<br />
<br />
The Southern Railway System would also eventually absorb the pre-War Between The States [[Blue Ridge Railroad]] which first reached the [[Pendleton]] district of the Upstate in [[1860]].<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
*On [[December 14]], [[1917]], two passenger trains collided head-on one mile north of [[Calhoun]], derailing both locomotives, and smashing several baggage and express cars, and killing a fireman and a baggagemaster. Northbound train 46 struck southbound train 43 after the operator at the [[Seneca]] depot failed to hand up orders to the crew of 46.<br />
<br />
*A freight train derailed while crossing the [[Seneca River trestle]] (now spanning [[Lake Hartwell]]) in the mid-[[1960s]] and cars were strewn along the south embankment and several went into the lake. The boxcars filled with cotton waste are still down there. They were judged too heavy to lift and not worth the trouble.<br />
<br />
*A pulpwood loading business operated using the one remaining house track at the Clemson depot in the 1960s and 1970s. When the business relocated to Seneca in the late 70s, the north-facing switch was removed that was located on the bridge over [[SC 133]] which provided access to the depot track.<br />
<br />
*Most of the 136-pound (per yard) rail on the mainline through Clemson was rolled in Tennessee in 1968.<br />
[[Category:Historical Businesses]]<br />
<br />
*The signal masts at MP 514.3, about a half mile south of the Clemson depot, indicate track alignments and occupancy for a block of track approximately 12 miles long. The three most common aspects are 1.) yellow over red - neutral - nothing coming or going; 2.) green over red - track aligned for southbound traffic; and 3.) red over red - traffic in the block towards Seneca - just after a southbound passes, or a northbound approaching.<br />
<br />
*An overhead box girder bridge over [[US 123]] just west of [[Lake Hartwell]] that provided rail siding access to the Milliken Defore rayon plant (erected 1944, razed 2010) was removed in the 1990s after that operation discontinued its rail traffic use, although the berm on which the spur entered the plant grounds is still visible.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:Crescent.jpg|float|right|250px]]The '''Southern Crescent''' was an overnight long-haul passenger train operated by the [[Southern Railway]] between Washington, D.C. and New Orleans, Louisiana, with connections North and West in those two cities. The line was operated as a privately-run train for eight years after [[Amtrak]] took over most of the nation's other passenger trains on [[May 1]], [[1971]]. The last run of the Southern Crescent, Southern train numbers 1 and 2, took place on [[January 31]], [[1979]], with Amtrak taking over the route on [[February 1]], renumbering them 19 and 20 (Southern Railway operating numbers 819 and 820).<br />
<br />
'''History'''<br />
<br />
The original ''Crescent Limited'' train name dates to [[1925]] when Southern began a deluxe all-Pullman sleeper train (no coaches), equipped with observation and club cars that operated from New York to New Orleans through agreements with several other railroads. <br />
<br />
In [[1926]] it was assigned brand new heavy 4-6-2 passenger locomotives, painted green and gold with the train's name on the tender. One of these elegant Ps-4 class Pacifics is on display in Railroad Hall at the Smithsonian Institute's American History Museum in Washington, D.C. This locomotive also hauled the funeral train of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in [[1945]].<br />
<br />
'''The Depression eliminates the ''Crescent Limited'' name'''<br />
<br />
The original ''Crescent Limited'' name disappeared for four years during the Depression as the railroad downplayed the "luxury" aspect and coaches were added to the consist. The train was renamed the ''Crescent'' in [[1938]] as the older coaches were replaced by new air conditioned equipment . Diesels replaced the famed locomotives in [[1941]] just in time for heavy use during World War II.<br />
<br />
'''New equipment'''<br />
<br />
Immediately following the war, the [[Southern Railway]] placed huge orders for new light-weight cars to re-equip the trains with, as did most American railroads, and in [[1949]] the ''Crescent'' received new rolling stock. The Southern stock was the major part of a car pool to service the 'Crescent', with contributions from The West Point Route (Atlanta & West Point and Western Railway of Alabama) and the Louisville & Nashville, who each operated their respective geographic sections of the route. But passengers were deserting the rails for their new post-war automobiles, and despite the ''Crescent'''s quality of service, ridership continued to fall. The railroad replaced green and gold paint with black and white system-wide in [[1958]] as an economy move. By [[1968]], Southern was only running ten passenger trains. In [[1970]], the ''Crescent'' was combined with another money-losing train, the ''Southerner'', and the consolidated train was renamed the ''Southern Crescent''. Railroad President W. Graham Claytor, Junior had the train upgraded with green and gold E-8A locomotives with the name embossed on the nose and a focus on Southern hospitality on board.<br />
<br />
'''Southern's rededication to service'''<br />
<br />
In [[1971]], the year [[Amtrak]] was created to save the national passenger system, the Southern was operating only four trains, two between Washington and Atlanta (the ''Piedmont'', trains 5 and 6 - run as a mixed train with trailer flat cars, as well as being used for shuttling motive power on the system), and New Orleans (the ''Southern Crescent'', trains 1 and 2), and two unnamed branch line runs, Nos. 3 and 4 in North Carolina and Nos. 7 and 8 in Virginia. Southern was losing $2.3 million annually but declined to join the infant [[Amtrak]] and opted to run their remaining trains for five years before seeking any change, subsidizing the trains with freight profits. The railroad also rerouted the ''Southern Crescent'' south of Atlanta via Birmingham over an all-Southern route, rather than Montgomery where the connecting railroads had decided to get out of the passenger business and join Amtrak.<br />
<br />
'''Losses increase while rolling stock ages'''<br />
<br />
But passenger losses continued to mount, and the fleet of cars and engines available was aging, the most recent dating to the early [[1960s]]. By [[1977]], when the three lesser trains had already been discontinued (in 1975), ''Southern Crescent'' operating losses had grown to $6.7 million annually. Unwilling to invest in new rolling stock or to compromise the quality of the ride, Southern petitioned to end operation on [[April 5]], [[1978]]. Outcry from affected communities and supporters of rail transit forced the railroad to go through ICC-mandated local train-off hearings before halting service, however. <br />
<br />
'''Amtrak takes over'''<br />
<br />
Finally, after satisfying federal requirements, and having negotiated an operating deal with Amtrak, the last Southern Railway runs of the ''Southern Crescent'' departed New Orleans and Washington, D.C. on [[January 31]], [[1979]], passing each other early in the morning of [[February 1]] near Salisbury, North Carolina. Amtrak assumed control of the train that day, renaming the train simply the ''Crescent''. It continues daily operations through Clemson to the present.<br />

<hr />
<div>Only two (2) species of venomous snake live in the Clemson area. The Canebrake Rattlesnake and the Southern Copperhead. There are a few well educated Herpetologists in the area to talk with should you need advice. One is Jim Farmer of[[ Oconee Reptiles]] and the other is Joel La Rocque who has been working with snakes for some 38 years now and has received over 50 bites from various venomous snakes. He has practiced self immunization by injecting various snake venoms directly into his body to build anti bodies which counter act snake bites and it has been shown to work.<br />
The Canebrake rattler is a sub speces of the Timber rattlesnake and its venom is more potent than the latter as it contains a neuro toxic component as well as the usual proteolitic properties of most rattlesnakes in the U S.<br />
Fewer then 10 deaths per year are recorded as a result of rattlesnake bites. The new anti venoms used have proved to be extremely successful in saving lives of both man and animals who have been bitten by pit vipers.<br />
<br />
=====Snake wranglers=====<br />
A snake wrangler is a man or woman who catches wild snakes with the use of specialized hand tools or with hands alone. There are several noted wranglers throughout the world who make a living by catching snakes for zoo's, medical research facilities and private sales.<br />
<br />
===== Local Snake Wranglers =====<br />
Joel La Rocque owns Specialized Venoms. They sell venom for medical research and often put on reptile shows. 864-882-7498. La Rocque has over 50 bites from venomous species with out serious effect. He has never used anti venom to treat any of the bites.<br/><br />
<br />
Jim Farmer owns [[Oconee Reptiles]] and operates a walk-in reptile museum featuring various species of reptiles. 864-638-9340.<br />
<br />
Both are available for private shows as well as lectures on reptiles<br />

[[Sirrine Hall]] serves as the headquarters for [[textile management]] and many majors in the [[College of Business and Behavioral Science]], such as [[accounting]], [[economics]], [[finance]], [[management]], and [[marketing]].<br />
<br />
Sirrine Hall is the largest academic building on campus, with more than 4.1 acres of space inside. Sirrine Hall is named for [[Joseph Emory Sirrine]], a Life Trustee of Clemson ([[1928]]-[[1947]]) whose foundation made a major gift for the construction of the building. Construction began in [[1939]]. Sirrine also designed [[Textile Hall]] in [[Greenville]], among his many projects. [[Sirrine Stadium]] in [[Greenville]] is named for him.<br />
<br />
It is located on the west side of campus, adjacent to [[Hunter Chemistry Laboratory]] and [[Benet]] dormitory. Across the Street is the [[Fernow Street Cafe]] and [[Riggs Hall]].<br />

<div>[[Image:Sikes_hall3.jpg|thumb]]<br />
'''Sikes Hall''' serves as the principal administration building, housing the offices of the [[List of Presidents of Clemson|President]], the Provost, the Vice President for Student Affairs, Admissions, Financial Aid, the Bursar, and the Registrar. Each of these offices has an open-door policy and invites you to walk in and ask any questions you may have.<br />
<br />
The cornerstone for '''Sikes Hall''' was laid on [[January 19]], [[1904]], (January 19, 5904, by the Masonic calendar), by Grand Mason J. R. Bellinger, A.F.M., and completed that same year. It is named for Clemson's sixth president, [[Enoch Walter Sikes|Enoch Walter Sikes]]. The building was originally the center for agricultural studies and was known as Agricultural Hall, but was remodelled as the campus library after fire destroyed most of the building on the night of [[April 2]], [[1925]]. It served as the campus library until [[1966]] when the [[Robert Muldrow Cooper Library]] replaced it. It was formally named '''Sikes Hall''' upon its remodelling into the administration building in [[1972]], at which time most offices relocated from [[Tillman Hall]], the original Main Building. Some financial offices remained in Tillman, however. <br />
<br />
Believe it or not, Sikes also housed a museum and gymnasium through past years.<br />

<hr />
<div>The [[Seneca River]] trestle is the official company name for the Norfolk Southern railroad crossing over [[Lake Hartwell]] at the edge of Clemson. The original rail alignment dates to the early 1870s when the [[Atlanta & Richmond Air Line Railway]] spent three years constructing a five-foot gauge line between [[Wikipedia:Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]] and [[Charlotte]]. The original line opened on [[September 28]], [[1873]]. The bridge was single-track and was replaced by a more substantial steel structure in [[1905]]. The concrete abutments of the 1905 bridge are immediately south of the current crossing.<br />
<br />
The [[Southern Railway]] System was created by New York banker J.P. Morgan in [[1894]] merging many collapsed Dixie railroads into one system, including the Richmond & Danville, which absorbed the Atlanta & Richmond property. <br />
<br />
In [[1917]], the [[Southern Railway]] replaced the previous trestle over the [[Seneca River]] with new twin track spans as part of a three-year realignment project. The new spans were fabricated and erected by the McClintic-Marshall Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Following World War II, new railroad operating systems no longer required duality over the whole Washington-Atlanta mainline and the southbound spans were lifted. Inexplicably, the easternmost span of the second track remained into the late 1970s, when it too was removed.<br />
<br />
In [[August]] [[2010]], preliminary right-of-way improvements for a replacement for the [[1976]] single-track bridge over [[SC 133]] that replaced a [[1917]] twin-box culvert which accommodated the original two track line installation through [[Calhoun]], forecasts a possible return of two track alignment if high-speed rail proposals in the Southeast are carried out. The new Highway 133 railroad bridge will have space for multi-tracks. <br />
<br />
The Southern Railway merged with the Norfolk & Western Railway in [[1982]] to form the Norfolk Southern Company.<br />
<br />
The remaining 100-foot bridge sections contain some 1530 tons of steel, and at maximum low-water, the rail-bottoms stand 88 feet above the surface.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Seneca River''' originates in northern [[Oconee County]] in the [[Blue Ridge Mountains]] in northwest South Carolina and is about 50 miles (80 kilometres) long. It flows south-southeast through the large [[Lake Keowee]] reservoir where it receives the [[Keowee River]] and the [[Little River]] from the north, and past [[Clemson, South Carolina|Clemson]] as the large northern arm of the [[Lake Hartwell]] reservoir. It joins the [[Tugaloo River]] west-northwest of [[Anderson, South Carolina]] to form the [[Savannah River]] in Hartwell Lake. Most of the original riverbed now lies underneath the lakes but a short stretch of the original alignment exists on Clemson bottom lands near the baseball stadium and [[football]] practice facilities. It was isolated by the two diversionary dikes built in the late [[1950's]] as part of the [[Hartwell Dam]] project to protect Clemson property including [[Memorial Stadium|Death Valley]] from inundation by the coming lake. The original covered road bridge over the Seneca River on the [[Old Greenville Highway]] was known as [[Ravenel's Bridge]], the family that owned property immediately west of the college.<br />
<br />
[[1893]] STATUTES AT LARGE OF SOUTH CAROLINA No. 463:<br />
<br />
:"AN ACT to Authorize and Empower the Trustees of Clemson Agricultural College to Aid the County Commissioners of Oconee and Pickens Counties in Purchasing [[Ravenel's Bridge]], Over [[Seneca River]], in Oconee and Pickens Counties. <br />
<br />
:"SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, now met and sitting in General Assembly, and by the authority of same, That the Trustees of Clemson Agricultural College be, and they are hereby, authorized and empowered to aid the County Commissioners of [[Oconee]] and [[Pickens]] in purchasing from the owners [of] [[Ravenel's Bridge]], over the [[Seneca River]], in [[Oconee]] and [[Pickens]] Counties, and pay for the same out the funds appropriated by the State to said College: Provided, That they do not pay more than fifteen hundred dollars for the same: Provided, further, That the State shall not be held liable in any manner whatever for the rebuilding or repairing said bridge.<br />
<br />
:"Approved [[January 4]]th, A.D. [[1894]]."<br />
<br />
The single-span through-truss bridge had the steelwork removed but the concrete abutments were not dismantled (though the obelisks were removed in the 1981-1982 drought) when [[Lake Hartwell]] was created but was submerged under pond level. During a drought in the mid-[[1980's]] the lake level fell so far that boaters began to snag the bridge structure and it was marked as a hazard to navigation. The same condition emerged in the drought of [[2007]], with buoys at the same spot.<br />
<br />
As of [[November 8]], [[2008]], Lake Hartwell has fallen to a record low of 639.3 feet MSL (full pool is 660 ft. MSL), and the entire remains of [[Ravenel's Bridge]], later Memorial Bridge, and portions of the western highway roadbed are above water. <br />
<br />
The Norfolk Southern (formerly the [[Southern Railway]]) railroad trestle parallel to [[Tiger Boulevard]] is still officially the [[Seneca River trestle]] in railroad nomenclature.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Student Book Store and Supply''' ('''SBS''') is located in [[downtown]] [[Clemson, South Carolina|Clemson]], next to [[Judge Keller's]], and partially in the former location of [[Oobe]]. It first opened in [[1987]].<br />
<br />
== General Info ==<br />
<br />
Typically, the store carries the same textbooks as the [[Clemson University Bookstore]]. Many students errantly believe that the store has lower sale prices and higher buy-back prices on books than at the Clemson University Bookstore. Both stores offer price matching guarantees, so you should decide based on convenience of location as opposed to webpage propaganda.<br />
<br />
The store stocks a variety of [[Clemson University]] merchandise and school supplies. Some supplies, such as paper, notebooks, and pencils, are relatively expensive, but prices on items such as Clemson t-shirts are considered by some to be more reasonable. Students frequently wear colored shirts that say "CLEMSON" in block white letters, which are available from the Student Book Store.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
*It occupies the location of the [[Study Hall]], Clemson's first downtown "bar", opened in [[1967]]. Other fooderies have occupied the space, including [[Captain D's Seafood]] in the [[1990's]]. This corner was the original site of [[Keller's Store]], opened in [[1899]], but which moved to its current location in [[1918]].<br />

<div>By [[William S. Morrison]], Professor of History and Political Economy, [[Clemson College]], South Carolina.<br />
<br />
RICHARD WRIGHT SIMPSON was born on his father's farm near [[Pendleton]], Anderson County, South Carolina, [[September 11]], [[1840]].<br />
<br />
His father was [[Richard F. Simpson]], a native of Laurens District, South Carolina, a graduate of the [[South Carolina College]], and for many years a lawyer at Laurens Court House; a soldier with the rank of major in the Florida war; a member of both branches of the General Assembly of his native State; three terms ([[1842]]-[[1848]]) a member of the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States; and a signer of the Ordinance of Secession of the State of South Carolina.<br />
<br />
His mother was Margaret Taliaferro, a native of Anderson District, South Carolina, whose parents were Virginians by birth.<br />
<br />
"Dick" Simpson enjoyed an ideal boyhood. He was well and strong, the son of indulgent parents, living a free country life. He enjoyed hunting and fishing and was fond of work with tools. At home he read the Bible, Shakespeare, and Scott's Novels. He attended Pendleton Academy from which he went to Wofford College. The late Dr. James H. Carlisle, at the time the only surviving member of the Wofford Faculty of the fifties, was asked a few years since, to write his recollections of the "Simpson Brothers" as students. The following is a literal copy of his answer:<br />
<br />
"The Simpson Brothers --- this is the way in which the survivors of the generation of Wofford students, [[1857]]-[[1861]] --- think of T.N. Simpson and R.W. Simpson, as the catalogues gave their names. Their brotherly affection was marked. Each might have said of the other what the late Robert W. Boyd said to me about his brother Charles: 'We were not only brothers - we were great friends.' They were gentlemanly, self-respecting young men, whose conduct represented the refined Christian home, which they had left. Joining different literary societies each gained the highest honor in the gift of his fellow-members. At the Anniversary the two brothers sat on the platform as presidents of the Calhoun and Preston Societies. In their Senior year ([[1860]]-[[1861]]) the clouds of war gathered. The students formed a military company, 'The Southern Guards,' and T.N. Simpson was elected captain. Arrangements were made for the usual May exhibition. The program had these names and subjects:<br />
::T.N. Simpson - Vox Populi.<br />
::R.W. Simpson - Republican Institutions in North America - are they a failure?<br />
<br />
"Surely these were timely subjects, well fitted to draw out the feelings and convictions of the young patriots and orators. But when the time came these speakers were not on the platform. They were on the tented field. The bombardment of Fort Sumter, [[April 12]], 13, [[1861]], seemed to the students as their mother's call to duty, and they answered at once.<br />
<br />
"Capt. T.N. Simpson was one of the unreturning braves. His sword is now among the valuable relics in Wofford College. His brother was spared for years of service with his fellow-citizens in carrying his native State through a great historical crisis."<br />
<br />
R.W. Simpson served as a private in the Confederate army in Company A, Third Regiment South Carolina Volunteers, and in Adams battallion of cavalry from April, 1861 to 1863, when, on account of disease contracted in the service, he was detailed for special duty until the close of the war.<br />
<br />
From [[1865]] to [[1874]] Colonel Simpson farmed. Then began his sympathy with the tillers of the soil. In the fall of [[1874]] he was chosen a member of the State Legislature, and was re-elected in [[1876]] - the year of Carolina's redemption from the hand of the alien and the traitor - the "carpet bagger" and the "Scalawag." He was made chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means of the "Wallace House," always a position of great responsibility, then one of the peculiar dangers and difficulties, as is well understood by all who remember the struggles of that time and by every student of "Reconstruction." Colonel Simpson's friends claim for him the credit of first suggesting the idea of the Democrats of South Carolina breaking loose from the maternal party - of securing control of the State and letting Tilden's friends fight for their own cause - the plan of cutting what Gen. M.W. Gary called the "gordian knot" - a plan which resulted in President Hayes withdrawing the United States troops, and Governor Hampton securing undisputed possession of the State House and the State.<br />
<br />
Chairman Simpson's services in settling the disordered finances of the State were delicate and difficult, but time proved the wisdom of his views. "He devised the plan - and secured the adoption - which reduced the debt of the State to its present small proportions."<br />
<br />
It was while serving in the Legislature that R.W. Simpson was appointed a member of the Governor's Staff, with the rank of Colonel of Cavalry, by Governor Wade Hampton.<br />
<br />
During those days he became convinced that changed conditions made necessary a change in our educational system. He became an earnest advocate of the establishment of an agricultural college. He was the confidential advisor of the Honorable [[Thos. G. Clemson]] - wrote that gentleman's will, was made executor of that instrument, and on the organization of the [[Clemson Agricultural College of South Carolina]] was elected chairman of that Board, which position he resigned, on account of impaired health a few years before his death. His interest in, and his devotion to the welfare of Clemson College are well known to all who know anything of the history of that institution for the first twenty years of its existence.<br />
<br />
About the time he went into politics Colonel Simpson studied law, was admitted to the bar, practiced at Anderson Court House, and was local attorney for the [[Southern Rail Road]] [sic] fifteen years and for the [[Blue Ridge Railway]] for eight years. He was also attorney for the Bank of Pendleton.<br />
<br />
Colonel Simpson was a life-long member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. He loved its doctrines and polity and was many years a Sunday School teacher and superintendent.<br />
<br />
On [[February 10]], [[1863]], R.W. Simpson was married to Miss Maria Louise Garlington, of Laurens County, S.C. Their beautiful home-life, their devotion to each other are well known to all their friends. Of this happy union ten children were born - of whom nine are now living: Mrs. W.W. Watkins, Mrs. P.H.E. Sloan, Jr., Miss M.L. Simpson, Mrs. A.G. Holmes, Mrs.S.M. Martin, Mrs. W.W. Klugh, Messrs. R.W. Simpson, Jr., J.G. Simpson and T.S. Simpson.<br />
<br />
Colonel Simpson died in a hospital in Atlanta where he had been taken for treatment a few days before, at four o'clock in the morning of the [[11th day of July]], [[1912]]. The afternoon of the next day his remains were laid to rest by the new made grave of his wife, near the resting place of his father and his mother and his soldier boy brother, in the family burying ground at the old home place near Pendleton, South Carolina.<br />

<hr />
<div>Richard Newman Brackett, Ph.D., ([[September 14]], [[1863]]-[[November 27]], [[1937]]), served as an associate professor of Chemistry at Clemson Agricultural College, [[July 29]], [[1891]]-[[1910]], acting Professor of Chemistry, director of Department of Chemistry, [[September 1]], [[1910]]-[[1911]], Professor and Director - Department of Chemistry and Chief Chemist Fertilizer Division, [[July 11]], [[1911]]-[[1933]], and Professor of Chemistry, Curator of Chemistry Library, [[1933]]-[[1937]]. (MacIntire, Walter Hoge, "''Obituary - Richard Newman Brackett''", Reprinted from ''Journal of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists'', May 1938, page iii.) <br />
<br />
A native of [[Charleston, South Carolina]], and son of Rev. Gilbert Robins Brackett who was pastor of Charleston's Second Presbyterian Church, and Louise Theresa Newman, he attended private schools until [[1878]]. At age 15, R.N. Brackett entered Davidson College and received his A.B. degree there in [[1883]]. His Ph.D. came from Johns Hopkins where he majored in chemistry and minored in minerology, dynamic geology and mycroscop petrography.<br />
<br />
From [[1887]] to [[1891]] he served the Arkansas Geological Survey as chief chemist and joined the original Clemson faculty in [[1891]]. He served Clemson for 46 years and survived all other members of the first faculty.<br />
<br />
He married the former [[Bessie Brandon Craig]], originally of Cabanass County, North Carolina, on [[June 6]], [[1889]], in [[Atlanta, Georgia]]. They had two children, Helen Evans Brackett (later Mrs. Franklin T. Waddill, of Cheraw, South Carolina) and Newton Craig Brackett, of Edisto Island, South Carolina.<br />
<br />
An undated clipping by T. D. Kemp, Jr., in Special Collections, [[Strom Thurmond Institute]], states that "For many years Professor Brackett was in charge of state fertilizer control in South Carolina. In this capacity he distinguished himself as a practical agricultural chemist. In collaboration with another chemist, he discovered two new minerals, newtonite and rectorite. In [[1920]] he was made chief chemist of the South Carolina Agricultural Experiment station. In connection with this position he carried on many important investigations and published a number of interesting bulletins and papers." <br />
<br />
He served [[Fort Hill Presbyterian Church]] at Clemson for 14 years as a deacon and 22 years as elder and Clerk of the Session. He was treasurer during the early years of the church. He, his wife and their eldest son, are buried at [[Old Stone Church]]. ("The Old Stone Church, Oconee County, South Carolina" collected and edited by [[Richard Newman Brackett]], Ph.D., Associate Professor of Chemistry, Clemson College, S.C., [[1905]], reprinted by the [[Old Stone Church]] and Cemetery Commission in cooperation with the Pendleton District Historical and Recreational Commission, [[1972]].)<br />
<br />
According to the undated clipping by T. D. Kemp, Jr., in the Special Collections, "Professor Brackett is a member of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, the American Chemical Society, the Association for the Advancement of Science, and the South Carolina Academy of Science. Clemson students admired him, not only because he was an able teacher, but because of his wise and helpful counsel on all matters. Former students affectionately refer to him as 'Dicky Brackett,' which name he does not object to in the least."<br />
<br />
Brackett was elected to Emeritus Life Membership in the American Association for the Advancement of Science in [[February]] [[1937]], the Anderson Independent reported on [[February 12]], [[1937]].<br />
<br />
Prof. Brackett was made an Honorary Alumnus of Clemson College at the annual meeting of the [[Alumni Corporation]] [[May 31]], [[1937]]. <br />
<br />
[[Brackett Hall]] is named for him.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Pershing Rifles''', a military drill team organization for college-level students, was founded by then 2nd Lt. (later General of the Armies) John J. Pershing in [[1894]] at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Over time, the Pershing Rifles organization was adopted by several other universities as well to include tactical units as well as drill and ceremony. Together, these units form what is known today as the National Society of Pershing Rifles. (Horn, Geoffrey M., ''Colin Powell'', Gareth Stevens, 2004, ISBN 0836852672, page 18.)<br />
<br />
Regimental Headquarters was chartered on [[March 19]]th, [[1946]]. This regiment, located at Clemson University, is the largest of all nine. It has more than 26 units from seven different states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. This regiment also has companies in Puerto Rico. The proficiency with which Fourth Regimental Headquarters coordinates its companies and adheres to the policies of the National Society is shown by its standing in the National Competition for Best Regiment.<br />
<br />
Company C of the Fourth Regiment was founded at Clemson University in [[1939]] by the authority of National Headquarters. Immediately upon acceptance of the charter, Company C-4 began its quest for excellence - a quest that will never cease.<br />
<br />
As a result of war, the company became inactive and was forced to take a semi-active role on campus between [[1944]] and [[1948]]. This semi-active role included drilling weekly and participating in some school events. In [[1955]], the company began to establish itself as a champion by winning the Regimental Drill Meet. These regimental victories were repeated year after year, and it wasn't until [[1966]], after eleven years, that the company's winning streak was broken.<br />
<br />
[[2008]] marked another great milestone for the company; this was the year that the company won the National Drill Meet held in Washington DC. This victory was repeated the following year when the company returned to Clemson with the Shaefer Cup. The company's victories at the National Drill Meet began to fall off after [[1957]]. Company C-4, however, still remained the undisputed champion of the Fourth Regiment.<br />
<br />
In [[1962]], the company broadened their competitiveness by entrain and winning the Pershing Rifles National Postal Rifle Match. Also, in the same year, the Pershing Rifles Pledge Platoon was established with 1LT R.H. Herron as first commander. The platoon was designed to better familiarize the cadets with the traditions and organization of the company. The new pledge system proved to be highly effective in the years that followed.<br />
<br />
The following year marked tragedy for the drill unit. While crossing the road in route to the practice area, the Pledge Platoon was struck by an automobile , knocking down the majority of the platoon. In the mayhem that followed, it was discovered that many were injured. One of the pledges, PR Cadet Bruce Knight, was seriously injured, dying on the following day. During the accident, Knight, although seriously injured, aided the pledge commander in the instruction of the pledges. His devotion exemplified the perfect Pershing Rifleman. As a result of his actions, the Bruce Knight award was established in his memory.<br />
<br />
In [[1964]], Company C-4 brought home the George A. Douglas trophy for being the most outstanding company in the Fourth Regiment. By this year the company had established itself as the most consistent winner of events at Clemson University. These Victories not only covered drill, but other competitions as well.<br />
<br />
The year [[1967]] marked another first for Company C-4 when the Clemson University invitational Drill Meet was organized under the direction of 1LT J.M. Hudgens , Jr., Executive Officer of C-4. Company C-4 won this drill meet under the command of CPT Ivan F. Kelly III.<br />
<br />
In [[1983]], the company, commanded by CPT Henry P. Gaines, Jr., brought home the Douglas trophy -- the most coveted trophy in the 4th Regiment -- for the second time. The following year, Company C-4 placed second in the Southeastern Regional Drill Meet. In [[1977]], the Douglas trophy was returned to Clemson after a brief one year absence. The company had won the trophy for three consecutive years preceding [[1976]], retiring the trophy in [[1975]] for the first and only time.<br />
<br />
In [[1983]], Company C-4 won its fifth Douglas trophy. The following year, the company entered the National Drill Meet, but due to small membership numbers, they were only able to obtain a third place Color Guard trophy. After several years of being absent from the field, Company C-4 returned to competition at the [[1986]] Regimental Drill Meet. This year they only took 1st and 3rd place in Fancy Individual competition.<br />
<br />
Company C-4 won its 6th Douglas trophy in [[1987]], proclaiming it the best company in the 4th Regiment. They also won the Regimental Drill Meet in [[1988]] and [[1990]]. The Regimental Drill Meet in [[1991]] was almost canceled due to the conflict in Saudi Arabia. However, the companies that were present forced the drill meet to continue. Company C-4 did not win the drill meet, but managed to take two first place events. The National Drill Meet was not as lucky since it was canceled.<br />
<br />
Continuing its excellence, the company competed in the National and Regimental Drill Meets in [[1992]]. Company C-4 placed 1st in Color Guard, 3rd in Fancy Individual and IDR individual and Fancy Duet in the Regimental Meet.<br />
<br />
In [[March]] of [[1999]], Company C-4 went to the national drill meet and won overall first place along with the following awards: 1st place inspection, 1st place fancy squad, 1st place regulation squad, 2nd, 3rd and 5th in IDR Knockout, 1st and 3rd in fancy individual, best commander, and best company.<br />
<br />
Over the years since [[1939]], Company C-4 has established an unparalleled record of achievement. Each past company has contributed to the reputation and success of the unit -- as will each successive unit. Although small in number, Company C-4 will always continue to strive for excellence in all it does.<br />
<br />
Pledges to Company C-4 are required to guard [[Tom and Jerry]], the two cannon on [[Bowman Field]], during "Cannon Week" <br />

<div>{{Wikipedia|Oconee_County,_South_Carolina}}<br />
Oconee County is located just to the West of Clemson and is abutted by the States of North Carolina to the North and Georgia to the West. The county seat is [[Walhalla]] which takes its name from mythology. Much of Oconee County is bordered by Lakes Hartwell and Keowee with Sumter National Forest land in in the mountainous North. The Pickens-Oconee line runs along the western edge of Clemson and the University. <br />
<br />
The Clemson Campus and the neighborhoods to its south and southeast were part of Oconee County until the county line was redrawn on [[February 20]], [[1967]], trading ten square miles of land on the southern border for wilderness along the northern border of [[Pickens County]] and Oconee County.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Oconee County makes up the northwestern tip of South Carolina and is known as the "Golden Corner of South Carolina." The county gets its name from the Creek Indians who lived in the area and had a settlement called Ukoona, which means "water eyes of the hills." Over the years the Seneca, Muskogen, Etowah, Creek and Cherokee tribes made this their home.<br />
<br />
The area of present-day Oconee County was home to unknown groups of Native-American Indians as early as 330 A.D. About 1100, the Etowah Indians probably occupied the region. Muskogeans inhabited parts of the territory previously occupied by the Etowahs from approximately 1350-1600, and recent studies place the arrival of the Cherokee in present-day far Eastern Georgia and extreme northwestern South Carolina after 1500 A.D. (This date is subject to change in the future as additional materials on the Cherokee are discovered and as the relationships between the Cherokee and other Indian people are redefined.) In 1760, a bitter war between South Carolina and the Cherokee resulted in the destruction of most of the Lower Cherokee villages, and the loss by the Cherokee of the lands south and east of the present-day South Carolina counties of Anderson and Greenville. An attack by the Cherokee on the settled parts of South Carolina resulted in one of the early campaigns of the Revolutionary War. The Lower Cherokee villages, most of which were in the area of present-day Oconee County, were destroyed, and all but a few of the Lower Cherokee moved out of the boundaries of present-day South Carolina. Norwood Station, a guard post to warn of possible Indian attacks, was erected along the Tugaloo River between the states of Georgia and South Carolina in the latter years of the Revolutionary War and apparently continued in operation for a number of years after 1783.<br />
<br />
Following the Revolutionary War, Colonel Benjamin Cleveland and a group of his followers received land grants from Georgia and settled along the Tugaloo River. (At that time, the state of Georgia claimed lands on the eastern side of the river in what is today Oconee County.) When these people arrived in 1784, they became the first known domestic white settlers of the area that eventually became Oconee County. After Georgia gave up all claims to the land between the Tugaloo and Keowee rivers by the Treaty of Beaufort in 1787, Cleveland and some other settlers were re-granted select lands by South Carolina on the east side of the Tugaloo River.<br />
<br />
During the 1780s, small bands of mixed Cherokee and Creeks attacked the small settlements along the Tugaloo River. In 1792, a threatened major attack by the Creeks and dissident Cherokee along the frontiers of the South led to the construction of a small number of outposts, including Oconee Station (after which Oconee County was probably named in 1868.) The entire Stumphouse Mountain Range of mountains, possibly the name of one of the many Indian tribes in the area. By 1799, the Indian dangers had passed and new white settlers moved into the area. The Cherokee sold their remaining lands in what is today northwestern Oconee County in 1816. Native American Indians who lived in what is today Oconee County were part of the infamous Trail of Tears to Oklahoma reservations in the 1820s.<br />
<br />
The area of present-day Oconee County was home to unknown groups of Native-American Indians as early as 330 A.D. About 1100, the Etowah Indians probably occupied the region. Muskogeans inhabited parts of the territory previously occupied by the Etowahs from approximately 1350-1600, and recent studies place the arrival of the Cherokee in present-day far Eastern Georgia and extreme northwestern South Carolina after 1500 A.D. (This date is subject to change in the future as additional materials on the Cherokee are discovered and as the relationships between the Cherokee and other Indian people are redefined.) In 1760, a bitter war between South Carolina and the Cherokee resulted in the destruction of most of the Lower Cherokee villages, and the loss by the Cherokee of the lands south and east of the present-day South Carolina counties of Anderson and Greenville. An attack by the Cherokee on the settled parts of South Carolina resulted in one of the early campaigns of the Revolutionary War. The Lower Cherokee villages, most of which were in the area of present-day Oconee County, were destroyed, and all but a few of the Lower Cherokee moved out of the boundaries of present-day South Carolina. Norwood Station, a guard post to warn of possible Indian attacks, was erected along the Tugaloo River between the states of Georgia and South Carolina in the latter years of the Revolutionary War and apparently continued in operation for a number of years after 1783.<br />
<br />
Oconee County was a part of the old Ninety-Six and Pendleton districts. In 1828 the Pendleton District (comprising Anderson, Pickens and Oconee counties) was divided into Anderson District to the southeast and the northwestern portion into Pickens District, named for Revolutionary War hero Andrew Pickens, who lived on the eastern side of the [[Seneca River]] near present-day [[Clemson University]]. Pickens District stretched from Anderson District to the south to the North Carolina state line to the north, and from Greenville District on the east to the Tugaloo River and the Georgia state line on the west. The town of Pickens Court House on the west side of the Keowee River near the Duke Power Dam on S.C. Highway 183, often called Old Pickens, came into being too as the District Seat. When the District was divided in 1868 into Oconee and Pickens counties and [[Walhalla]] became the county seat of Oconee, Old Pickens disappeared into a ghost town, its inhabitants moving to Walhalla or new Pickens further to the east. Some of the notable area landmarks included Knox's Bridge, Harris Shoals, Mullen's Ford, Jenkins Ferry and Jarret's Bridge on the Tugaloo River, and Fair Play, Rockwell, Townville, Snow Creek, Bachelors Retreat, Kilpatrick's, Mason's, Steel's, Horse Shoe, Colonel's Fork, Bounty Land, [[Richland]], Oconee Station, [[West Union]], Smeltzer's Mountain, High Falls, Stumphouse, Henderson's, Whetstone, and Cheohee.<br />
<br />
In 1850, a small group of Germans under the leadership of General John A. Wagener and the German Colonization Society of Charleston, South Carolina, founded and settled the town of Walhalla. The name comes from the Nordic-Germanic mythology and means "Gardens of the Gods." Their plans of continued German immigration and settlement in Walhalla were interrupted by the War Between the States, and afterwards German immigration never reached the point to keep the town significantly German. When Pickens District was divided into Oconee and Pickens counties in 1868, Walhalla was made the Oconee county seat.<br />
<br />
A number of Irishmen came to Stumphouse Mountain in the mid-1860s to build a tunnel for the [[Blue Ridge Railroad]]. The town of Tunnel Hill, located above [[Stumphouse Tunnel]] and built by Irish workers, was perhaps the largest town in extreme northwestern South Carolina in the mid and late 1850s. The construction of the railroad was interrupted by the war and never resumed. The old railroad right of way and bed can be seen crossing the mountain terrain for several miles north and west of Walhalla, and Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel is today a tourist attraction on the National Register of Historic Places.<br />
<br />
After the war, the Atlanta and Richmond Air Line Railway, later the [[Southern Railway]], and now the Norfolk Southern, was built through Oconee County in the early 1870s, and the present towns of [[Seneca]] and [[Westminster, South Carolina|Westminster]] came into being. [[Richland]] and Fort Madison subsequently developed along the railroad line but have not survived to the present as towns. Large textile mills were built in the Upstate in the 1890s, with [[Newry]] in southeast Oconee County remaining as one of the earliest, least-altered textile villages in extreme northwestern South Carolina. The Lonsdale Manufacturing Company built a textile plant near Seneca in 1901. it was later operated by Westpoint Stevens Manufacturing Company, employing 600 people.<br />
<br />
The mountain town of Salem was chartered in the early 1900s. Special schools for rural and mountain children originated between 1910 and 1930 with the Long Creek Academy and Tamassee D.A.R. School, where the adult education program in South Carolina was founded. One of the first soil conservation districts in the United States was located slightly west of Seneca on the Quincy and Ploma Adams farm. This farm has now been developed into a community of homes, churches and schools and is now a part of the incorporated City of Seneca.<br />
<br />
Approximately one quarter of Oconee County is now owned by either Clemson University or the United States Forest Service. Located in the hills of Oconee County and surrounded by the government forests are the mountain communities of Long Creek, famous for its apple industry, and Mountain Rest, once an overnight stopping point for persons on their way from Walhalla to the mountains of North Carolina.<br />
<br />
The construction of huge government and private lakes starting in the 1950s turned Oconee County into an ideal tourism, recreation and retirement area. Oconee County is a land of natural beauty and a somewhat diverse population. It is also the home of a rare wildflower, the [[Oconee Bell]], first recorded by French botanist Andrew Micheaux in 1788. In the late 1960s, Duke Power purchased huge tracts of land on either side of the Whitewater and Keowee Rivers, and Oconee Nuclear Station was constructed, one of the largest industries of the county and surrounding areas. Keowee Key, ten miles north of Seneca near Salem, an exclusive retirement community, attracts many out-of-state retirees, particularly from Northern and Midwestern states. Keowee Key has over 2,000 inhabitants, 880 homes and 300 condominiums.<br />

[[Memorial Stadium]], also known as [[Death Valley]], is [[Clemson University]]'s [[football]] stadium. Construction began in [[1942]], originally seating approximately 20,000 , and today holds nearly 82,000 fans. It is the 13th largest on-campus stadium in the country. The playing surface inside the stadium is known as [[Frank Howard Field]], so designated in [[1974]]. The original cedar wood seating was replaced by aluminum in [[1972]], some of which can now be found on the bar at the [[Esso Club]]. The stadium is currently undergoing renovations to add a new [[West End Zone]] which will house a Clemson museum, new locker rooms and training facilities, and luxury suites. The majority of the renovations are being funded by [[IPTAY]]. For the [[2007 Clemson Football Season]], the official seating capacity is 81,750.<br />
<br />
'''Nickname'''<br />
<br />
Memorial Stadium's popular nickname of "[[Death Valley]]" originated when [[Presbyterian]] Coach [[Lonnie S. McMillian]] observed in [[1948]] that taking his team to Clemson was like going into Death Valley. Coach [[Frank Howard]] began using the name regularly in the mid-1950s, and it stuck.<br />

<div>By definition, a loggia is an open-air breezeway in a building, and this was how the plaza of the sixth level of the Edgar A. Brown Student [[Union]] in the original [[Johnstone]] Hall complex was constructed when the "Tin Cans" were erected in [[1954]]. An open stone-floored plaza that separated end doors for A and B-sections of Johnstone, a one-floor balcony on the west side overlooked a concrete assembly area (and part-time parking lot) in the center of the [[Johnstone]] snake.<br />
<br />
Union offices were enclosed on the south side of the Loggia, and a ticket window was installed for distribution of passes to campus events. The need for a new distribution policy was made obvious by a near riot that occurred on [[January 20]], [[1975]], during the handing out of tickets for the upcoming Maryland basketball game to be played on [[January 22]]. Glass windows at the ticket window were pushed in by the surging crowd but fortunately no injuries were recorded. Classic [[TAPS]] annual photo of the crowd shooting the bird at the photographer during this jovial-if-jammed ticket distribution can be found on page 620 in the Epilogue section of the [[1975]] edition of [[TAPS]], Volume 65. In the 1970s, the [[Housing Office]] had its digs in the space on the north side of the Loggia now occupied by the Apple Store, and which for a time in the 1970s and 1980s served as the [[Union Gallery]], an arts display space, and then as a convenience store.<br />
<br />
For many years, this was essentially the center of campus with the [[Canteen]] below on the groundfloor fifth level, [[Student Locator]] (the phone bank) on the seventh level directly above the Loggia (television lounges were also on this level), [[WSBF]]'s studios on the 8th level, along with a small [[College Chapel]] and career placement offices, and the print offices of [[The Tiger]], [[TAPS]], and The [[Chronicle]] on the ninth level.<br />
<br />
The Loggia was enclosed completely during the [[1974]]-[[1976]] remodelling of the [[Union]] area that included the digging out of the parking/assembly area and construction of the Student Government offices and Union gamerooms.<br />

They also reveal the immense scope of crimes and abuses, which included campaign fraud, political espionage and sabotage, illegal break-ins, improper tax audits, illegal wiretapping on a massive scale, and a secret slush fund laundered in Mexico to pay those who conducted these operations. This secret fund was also used as hush money to buy the silence of the seven men who were indicted for the June 17 break-in.<br />

*[[2002]]: The two-mile portion of South Carolina [[Highway 93]] that runs though the Clemson University campus is being named to honor a man who has been described as "the epitome of what love and loyalty for Clemson University are all about." "[[Walter T. Cox Boulevard]]" honors the university's 10th president and former dean of students. The boulevard will extend from the [[SC 93]] intersection with U.S. [[Highway 76]] through campus to the Pickens-Oconee county line at the [[Lake Hartwell]] [[Seneca River]] bridge. A resolution, introduced in the S.C. House of Representatives by representatives Bud Webb, Rex Rice and Teddy Trotter, requested the state department of transportation name the stretch of highway for "[[Dean Cox]]," as he was known to generations of Clemson students. Senators Thomas Alexander and Larry Martin gained the concurrence of the state Senate for the resolution. Cox was informed of the resolution during a Clemson Reunion 2002 alumni luncheon this past weekend. "It's really a shocker, but one of the greatest honors one can have," the president emeritus said. "To have that highway that I travel every day called 'Cox Boulevard' --- I can't explain it." "I can't imagine a more appropriate name for the road that ties the Clemson campus together than the name of the man who has tied the Clemson community together for so many years," said Clemson University President [[James F. Barker]]. "I am grateful to the state for honoring [[Walter Cox]] in this way." "It's really important to recognize a community's icons, and think [[Walter Cox]] certainly qualifies as one," added Clemson Mayor [[Larry Abernathy]]. "He has worked tirelessly for every aspect of this community." Webb said naming [[SC 93]] through campus after Cox is a fitting tribute to the former dean. "It's appropriate that the main entrances to the campus --- whether you come in from the east or west --- will bring up the fond memories that thousands of alumni have of [[Dean Cox]]," Webb said.<br />

<hr />
<div>Joseph Laurie Young was an architecture professor at [[Clemson University]] for over fifty years. The penthouse at the [[Clemson House]] is named in his honor.<br />
<br />
Text of the plaque dedicating the top floor suites to him:<br />
<br />
Joseph Laurie Young Penthouse<br />
<br />
Prof. Joseph Laurie Young, FAIA, Professor Emeritus, Clemson University<br />
<br />
Throughout his long and distinguished career at C.U., Professor "Joe" Young continuously shared his extraordinary talents with his students, academic associates, and friends in the community. Joe was the longest permanent resident of the [[Clemson House]] at "his" university, the first to check in when it opened in [[1950]], and after 50 years in [[2000]], was the last to leave. His seventh floor apartment, room 705, will continue to echo the voices of the many who gathered there for friendly and timely debate, always in a warm, congenial setting. His many colleagues in architecture, the theatre, fraternal organizations, alumni, students, and the Clemson community enjoyed Joe's limitless and gracious hospitality.<br />
<br />
Joe Young was recognized as a fellow in the [[American Institute of Architects]]. He held a Fulbright lectureship at the Middle East Technical Institute in Ankara, Turkey.<br />
<br />
His memberships include [[Tiger Brotherhood]], [[Tau Sigma Delta]], the [[Clemson Little Theatre]], and [[Fort Hill Presbyterian Church]] where he was elected Elder. Prof. Young introduced the Greek fraternal organizations to Clemson's campus, and served as faculty advisor to the [[Sigma Alpha Epsilon]] fraternity for over 30 years.<br />
<br />
Joe was a consumate sketcher, and the drawings exhibited in the penthouse suite are representative of the quality of hundreds he has done over the course of his eminent career. His architectural subjects are local, national, and international.<br />
<br />

<div>[[Image:Clemson 027.jpg|thumb|Jordan Hall (photo by Jake Stoudenmire)]]<br />
[[Jordan Hall]] was completed in [[1976]] as a laboratory complex for teaching and research in biological sciences. It is home to classes in botany, genetics and biochemistry, microbiology and molecular medicine, and zoology. The [[Computer Science]] Department also holds some classes in the auditoriums of the building. The building is located adjacent to [[Daniel Hall]] and [[Edwards Hall]] on the campus' east side.<br />
<br />
Jordan Hall is named for [[F. Marshall Jordan]], Class of [[1902]].<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:johnstone.jpg|frame|Johnstone F and E]]<br />
Johnstone Hall is an on campus dorm that was built in [[1954]]. The architects were Lyles, Bissett, Carlisle, & Wolff. There were originally 6 sections A, B, C, D, E, and F. Johnstone A and A Annex is the only section still standing. B and C were the first sections to be torn down in [[1992]]. They stood where [[McCabe]] and [[Holmes]] are now. Section D was abandoned as a dorm in [[1995]]. Sections D, E, and F were demolished in the summer of [[2002]], leaving the open sloping field beside [[Harcombe]] and the [[Greek Quad]]. There were Annex sections added to Johnstone A and F. <br />
<br />
Because Johnstone A and A Annex were separated from the rest of the complex by the [[Union]], women were housed in this section beginning in the 1980s. The rest of the complex remained exclusively male. After Johnstone D, E, & F were demolished, Johnstone A became co-ed housing.<br />
<br />
The Johnstone complex replaced three crumbling barracks (Nos. 1, 2, and 3) dating from Clemson's earliest years, and the original Johnstone Hall was the name given to Barracks No. 2 in [[July]] [[1946]] by the [[Board of Trustees]] in honor of State Senator [[Alan Johnstone]] of Newberry, a Life Trustee in the early years of the college.<br />
<br />
==Construction==<br />
Johnstone was notorious for being a dump with its thin sheet metal walls and drafty rooms. The walls were so thin that you could hear people talking in the next room and alarm clocks could be heard 5 or 6 doors down in the morning. This gave rise to its nickname of the Tin Cans (sometimes spelt Tin Cannes), or just the Cans. Each room had its own sink and the closets that were built into one wall included rifle racks. Johnstone was built using a construction technique known as "Raised Slab" construction. The building was essentially built from the top down. Each floor consists of a concrete slab with the "in-floor" elements (walls, bathrooms, etc.) being built after the floor itself was in place. During construction, they poured the top floor first and raised it up to build the floor below it. This process was repeated for each floor. Johnstone was one of only three construction sites ever built using this technique, and was the last one condemned, though there is one remaining that had not been demolished as of spring 2010.<br />
<br />
The Johnstone Hall complex became a model for college dormitories, implementing a new raise-slab construction method, a practice which was featured in many architectural magazines at that time. This method - the Youtz-Slick "lift-slab" method - lifted reinforced concrete slabs onto columns with hydraulic jacks. These slabs weighed 224 tons and were nine inches thick, 122 feet long and 43 feet wide. Today, only one of the original Johnstone buildings is still standing on the campus.<br />
<br />
The Johnstone Annexes were not constructed in this manner. The Annexes were similar in design to the [[Shoeboxes]].<br />
<br />
The first section to be completed, B-section, diagonally across the street from the [[Trustee House]], was finished on [[September 17]], [[1954]], and first occupied on [[September 20]]. <br />

<div>== History ==<br />
[[image:Tomgreen_statue.gif|thumb|right|Statue of Clemson founder Thomas Green Clemson by A. Wolfe Davidson.]]<br />
Clemson University was founded in [[1889]] as a land-grant institution in the upstate of South Carolina. It was donated by [[Thomas Green Clemson]], who willed his house and the surrounding area to the state of [[South Carolina]] to create a technical and scientific university. When it first opened its doors in [[1893]], Clemson was a military institution with fewer than 500 students.<br />
<br />
== Academic Overview ==<br />
Clemson University is comprised of five colleges: the [[College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences]], the [[College of Architecture, Arts, and Humanities]], the [[College of Business and Behavioral Science]], the [[College of Engineering and Science]], and the [[:Category:College of Health, Education and Human Development|College of Health, Education and Human Development]]. There are more than 80 undergraduate degree programs. Students apply to, and are accepted in, a specific chosen college. Clemson's standards of admission have fluctuated in the past 5 years. When named Time Magazine's Public College of the Year in [[2000]], the resulting influx of applications, combined with [[James F. Barker|President Barker]]'s push to become a Top 20 school, resulted in a stiffening of entrance requirements. (It now appears, with hindsight, that the Time award was nothing more than a promotional sham - the publication has made no such designation either before or since.) Average SAT and GPA scores raised significantly for the freshmen class. Unfortunately, South Carolina higher education budget cuts in [[2002]], [[2003]], and [[2004]] resulted in a severe lack of funding to Clemson, but this has not affected the quality of applicants in the long term. The incoming freshman class of [[2009]] was the largest ever with a commensurate number of qualified students rejected. Clemson does not have fixed entrance score numbers, but selects the most qualified applicants each year. <br />
<br />
Each college has its own demands, strengths and weaknesses. Clemson's Engineering department is very good, though demanding. The Architecture school is very time consuming. <!--Insert better overviews of each college here--><br />
<br />
Class sizes depend mostly on where you are in your curriculum. Lecture halls with 300 students for Chem 101 or your first Physics course, for example, are not unheard of. That said, generally by sophomore year you're back into classes with 30 or fewer people. Professors run the gamut of personalities, but very few are difficult to get along with or seek help from. Word of advice that is probably universal - if you're struggling, talk to your professor as soon as possible. There are a number of shining stars in the faculty. [[Eddie Smith]] is generally recognised by [[The Tiger]] as the students' favorite.<br />
<br />
== Student Life ==<br />
[[image:Homecoming_Float2.jpg|thumb|left|Typical Homecoming float]]<br />
The social scene isn't necessarily dominated by fraternities and sororities, but they do make up a sizeable percentage (about 21 percent) of the students on campus. There are generally Greek parties aplenty on both weekdays and weekends, and the organizations hold all sorts of formal and informal soirees. This isn't to say that without Greek representation your social life is non-existent. There is a thriving and active [[GDI]] population on campus, and, depending on your interests and affiliations, plenty of people to get to know and events to go to. [[WSBF]] has the underground on lock and has a number of events for staff and friends. The [[Rugby Club]] guys party pretty hard. The list goes on.<br />
<br />
[[Thursday night|Thursday nights]] are recognized as [[downtown]] nights, and those of age take the opportunity to head out. Be forewarned: bouncers are extremely strict and will card and catch fake IDs at almost every bar. If you're under 21, hit up the house parties instead. Clemson's reputation as a party school, though, is highly exaggerated (unless you count game days). Visions of kegs lining the streets and drunken debauchery being standard nightlife fare are fiction. The students are relatively hard working and dedicated, and know that they're at Clemson for the education. We'll cut loose when necessary, but rarely if ever forget about studying for exams or writing that paper. <br />
<br />
Practically everyone is friendly and outgoing. If you are to believe [http://www.collegeprowler.com/guide.asp/1-59658-026-7/ College Prowler], the students are generally attractive. This is not an unfair generalization. <br />
<br />
Clemson definitely exudes the small town, conservative southern atmosphere. Students go to church on Sundays in droves, dressed their best. A nontrivial percentage of guys wear Tucker Carlson-style bowties. If you're into that sort of thing, you'll fit right in. If you're not, it can be grating at times, though certainly avoidable. Head just a little bit out of town, to [[Seneca]] or [[Central]], and you'll find yourself in the backcountry of the Confederacy very quickly.<br />
<br />
== Athletics ==<br />
[[image:Death_Valley_Main_Entrance.jpg|thumb|Death Valley, home of the Clemson Tigers]]<br />
Campus life is dominated by the fall [[Football]] season. Highways become impassable, roads on campus turn one way, the streets are flooded with cars and people, and there is orange everywhere you turn your head. Every home game Saturday is basically a campus-wide party and you've got some of the best seats available. Everyone is pretty friendly, there's food and beer everywhere -- take advantage of it, even if you don't like the game. Even the geekiest of computer nerds and most socially inept of us all have a good time at the games. Basketball, baseball, and to a lesser extent soccer are also major sports on campus, though none can compare to the 500 pound gorilla of the football season. It really is a spectacle.<br />
<br />
[[Intramurals]] and club sports are pretty popular. The fields by [[Fike]] are usually packed with ultimate frisbee and soccer players during their respective seasons. If you're interested, it's very easy to get on an intramural team.<br />

<div>[[Image:chouse.jpg|thumb|]]<br />
The [[Clemson House]] was originally built as a hotel, opening on [[November 1]], [[1950]], replacing an old "boarding house" accomodation where many faculty bachelors lodged, located about where the [[Alumni Center]] now stands. It was designed by William G. Lyles and the firm of Bissett, Carlisle and Wolf Architects. The "C House" has a variety of room designs, including double-occupancy rooms, a few private rooms and apartments that accommodate two, three or four students. It is located across from [[Bowman Field]] and close to the [[Visitors Center]]. Space for 415 undergraduate students is available, although there are several hotel rooms still available on the 7th floor, and a penthouse suite on the 8th that is only accessible when being used (but there is always someone guarding the door while being used, so students cannot check it out). It is officially named the Joseph Laurie Young Penthouse for [[Joseph L. Young]], FAIA, Professor Emiritus, whose apartment in room 705 was an intellectual gathering place for fifty years. Professor "Joe" was the first resident to move into the new building in [[1950]] and the last permanent resident to move out, in [[2000]]. The original manager was Fred L. Zink, Jr., succeeded by Jeff Martin.<br />
<br />
With the opening of [[The James F. Martin Inn]] on [[July 28]], [[1998]], the remaining public lodging on the seventh floor of the Clemson House was converted into residence hall space. <br />
<br />
During filming of [[The Midnight Man]], several actors (including Burt Lancaster) stayed in the penthouse suite.<br />
<br />
The Tiger Fitness and study area of the basement once housed a lounge called "[[Tiger Tavern]]" - paint remnants are above the doors, in front of the rear stairway to the left of the exterior barber shop entrance.<br />
<br />
The South Carolina Educational Radio Network's first station, [[WEPR 90.1]] FM, began broadcasting from tiny studios off the lobby of the Clemson House on [[September 3]], [[1972]], giving the National Public Radio outlet for the Upstate a Clemson-based signal. In one of the worst decisions of Clemson President [[Bill Atchley]]'s tenure, he decided that there was no reason why Clemson should support both [[WSBF-FM]] and [[WEPR 90.1]] FM and let the NPR-affiliate station license go to Spartanburg. It was a sad day when when the satellite dishes behind the C House were packed off to Sparkle City. <br />
<br />
Starting in [[2010]], the Clemson House is for freshmen only and is the only freshman co-ed by room living option.<br />
==Trivia==<br />

'''LOCATION, NAME AND ORIGIN.'''<br><br />
'''1. Where is Clemson College located?'''<br><br />
:In the extreme western part of the State, in [[Oconee County]].<br />
'''2. How is it reached?'''<br><br />
:From the [[Southern Railway]] station, [[Calhoun]], two-thirds of a mile north of the College, and from the [[Blue Ridge Railway]] station, [[Cherrys]], two miles to the south of the College.<br><br />
'''3. What is the official name of Clemson College?'''<br><br />
:"The Clemson Agricultural College of South Carolina."<br><br />
'''4. How did the College get the name of "Clemson?"'''<br><br />
:[[Thomas G. Clemson]] died in [[1888]], and left the [[Fort Hill]] estate of 836 acres and about $58,000 in money to found an Agricultural and Mechanical College.<br><br />
'''5. Who was Thomas G. Clemson?'''<br><br />
:He was a Pennsylvanian, born in Philadelphia in [[1807]]. At the age of sixteen he ran away from home, and<br><br />
<br />
(Page 6)<br><br />
<br />
:went to France. There he engaged in the Revolutions of that time, and after winning distinction, entered the celebrated School of Mines at Paris, graduating after four years as a Mining Engineer. He returned to America, and establishing himself in Washington, practiced his profession, and accumulated a considerable fortune. Here he met and married [[Miss Anna Marie]], the oldest daughter of [[John C. Calhoun]].<br><br />
'''6. What part did [[Thomas G. Clemson]] have in the War Between the States?'''<br />
:Being a strong disciple of [[John C. Calhoun]], and hearing that he was to be arrested, Mr. Clemson with his son fled from Washington, and walking to Richmond, offered their services to President Davis. Mr. Clemson was assigned to the Trans-Mississippi Nitre Mining Department, where he served until the end of the war, and his son, [[John C. Clemson]], was appointed a Lieutenant and assigned to active duty.<br><br />
'''7. How did Clemson come into'''<br><br />
<br />
(Page 7)<br><br />
<br />
'''possession of the old homestead of [[John C. Calhoun]], which he afterwards bequeathed to the State?'''<br><br />
:A full account will be found in the College catalogue, pages 17-22. Briefly, the [[Fort Hill]] place was given to [[John C. Calhoun]] by the two brothers of his wife. The property descended to his wife at his death, friends in Charleston having paid off large indebtedness in order that she might have a clear title. The place finally came into possession of Mrs. Clemson, who, upon her death, bequeathed it to her husband, "absolutely and in fee simple." When Mr. Clemson died, the property under his will went to the State to found the Clemson Agricultural College, and by the same will, he set aside $15,000 for his grand-daughter to satisfy any claim in equity which she might have in the property. She had no legal claim.<br><br />
'''8. Why was not the College named after [[John C. Calhoun]]?'''<br />
:Because he had absolutely nothing to do with donating any property to<br><br />
<br />
(Page 8)<br><br />
<br />
:the State for the purpose of founding the College. Nowhere does it appear that he ever harbored in the remotest way any such intention.<br><br />
'''9. But were there no sentimental reasons why he should have named the College after Calhoun?'''<br><br />
:Yes, and he first intended to do so. However, his legal adviser, and friend, [[R. W. Simpson]], dissuaded him from such a course, because he felt that in justice to Mr. Clemson, the College should bear his name.<br><br />
'''10. Did Mr. Clemson for any length of time before his death contemplate the founding of the College?'''<br><br />
:His writings, the records of the old [[Pendleton's Farmers Society]] and his last will and testament show conclusively that for twenty-five years he was interested in Agricultural education, and that the founding of the College had become the "one great desire" of his life.<br><br />
'''11. What were the provisions of the Clemson will?'''<br><br />
:After donating the bulk of his<br><br />
<br />
(Page 9)<br><br />
<br />
:property to the State, the will set forth that the College was to be governed by seven self-perpetuating life Trustees, and six others elected by the State, and that the State was to provide for the support of the College.<br><br />
<br />
'''THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES'''<br><br />
<br />
'''12. Did the State of South Carolina accept the terms of the will?'''<br><br />
:Yes, in [[1889]] the Legislature accepted the terms of Mr. Clemson's will. They stipulated in the acceptance that it should require a two-thirds vote of the Board of Trustees to authorize the expenditure of any money.<br><br />
'''13. How many votes does it require to elect an officer?'''<br><br />
:One of the By-Laws of the Board is that it requires '''nine votes''' to elect an officer.<br><br />
'''14. How then can the seven life members dominate the Board, as has been charged.'''<br><br />
:They have absolutely no power to<br><br />
<br />
(Page 10)<br><br />
<br />
:do so, since in all important matters '''nine affirmative votes''' are required.<br><br />
'''15. Do you mean to say that the balance of power lies absolutely in the hands of the six Trustees elected by the Legislature?'''<br><br />
:Absolutely. They can prevent any election or appropriation of money if they so desire.<br><br />
'''16. Is there any division in the Board along the line of life and State Trusteeship?'''<br><br />
:I do not believe that a member of the Board can recall a single instance where such a division has been made in the entire history of the College.<br><br />
'''17. Who are the Life Trustees?'''<br><br />
:Hon. [[Alan Johnstone]], of Newberry.<br><br />
:Hon. [[R. W. Simpson]], of [[Pendleton]].<br><br />
:Senator [[B. R. Tillman]], of Trenton.<br><br />
:Hon. [[M. L. Donaldson]], of [[Greenville]].<br><br />
:Hon. [[J. E. Wannamaker]], of St. Matthews.<br><br />
:Hon. [[W. W. Bradley]], of Abbeville.<br><br />
:Hon. [[R. I. Manning]], of Sumter.<br><br />
'''17a. Who are the State Trustees?'''<br><br />
<br />
(Page 11)<br><br />
<br />
:Hon. [[W. D. Evans]], of Cheraw.<br><br />
:Hon. [[B. H. Rawl]], of Lexington.<br><br />
:Hon. [[Ivy M. Mauldin]], of [[Pickens]].<br><br />
:(*)Hon. [[Jesse H. Hardin]], of Chester.<br><br />
:Hon. [[John G. Richards, Jr.]], of Liberty Hill.<br><br />
:Hon. [[Coke D. Mann]], of West Union.<br><br />
'''18. Do the Trustees receive any pay for their services?'''<br><br />
:None whatever.<br> <br />
'''19. What Life Trustees have been elected by the survivors to fill vacancies caused by death?'''<br><br />
:Mr. [[Alan Johnstone]], of Newberry; Mr. [[W. W. Bradley]], of Abbeville, and Mr. [[Richard I. Manning]], of Sumter.<br><br />
'''20. Who is President of the Board?'''<br><br />
:State Senator [[Alan Johnstone]], of Newberry, S. C.<br><br />
'''21. How can he and Senator Tillman be Trustees and State officers at the same time? Does not the State law forbid holding two offices of honor and profit at the same time?'''<br><br />
:Yes, but the Constitution of the State also declares that no State of-<br><br />
<br />
(*)Deceased.<br><br />
<br />
(Page 12)<br><br />
<br />
:ficer can hold his position for life, but must be periodically elected. Therefore, a Life Trusteeship cannot be considered a State Office.<br><br />
'''22. But did not the General Assembly elect some of its own members to positions on the Clemson Board? Is that legal?'''<br><br />
:The General Assembly represents the people of South Carolina and from their action it is evident that they do not consider a College Trusteeship as a State office. If it were so regarded, then the Governor of the State and the State Superintendent of Education would be debarred from membership on the Winthrop and the University Boards.<br><br />
'''23. Would there be any advantage in abolishing the Life Trustees and electing the entire thirteen?'''<br><br />
:What practical good could result? Are not the Life Trustees just as able and conscientious, and just as loyal citizens and servants of South Carolina as are the six elected Trustees. Mr. Johnstone was once a State Trustee.<br><br />
<br />
(Page 13)<br><br />
<br />
:Does a mere change in the method of his election unfit him for the duties which he once satisfactorily discharged as a State Trustee? On the contrary, is it not to the advantage of the College to have a Governing Board with fixity of purpose such as cannot be assured when all members of the Board are elective officers?<br><br />
<br />
'''The College Work'''<br> <br />
'''24. How many sessions has Clemson been in operation?'''<br><br />
:Seventeen sessions.<br><br />
'''25. What has been the enrollment during that period?'''<br><br />
:Nine thousand two hundred and fifty-eight, an average of 545 per session.<br><br />
'''26. How many boys have graduated from Clemson?'''<br><br />
:Six hundred and seventy-nine, including the last graduating class. Of this number, 251 have graduated in the Agricultural Courses, and 428 in the Engineering and Textile Courses. For this session the student body is about equally divided between the<br><br />
<br />
(Page 14)<br><br />
<br />
:Agricultural courses, and all the other courses combined.<br><br />
'''27. Do the Agricultural graduates go back to the farm?'''<br><br />
:Some do, who have farms to go back to, but a large number of them become teachers of Agriculture and workers in the Agricultural uplift field in this and other States. Agriculture is growing so fast that the demand for trained teachers is greater than the supply.<br><br />
'''28. Should every student who goes to Clemson take an Agricultural Course?'''<br><br />
:Of course not. If he has no talent for farming and no opportunities in that line, and has talent for Engineering or Textile work, he should be afforded an opportunity to develop himself along the line of his greatest powers. Is it not a greater benefit to the parent to prepare his son for a successful career as an Engineer than to force him into a line for which perhaps he has no talent or inclination?<br><br />
'''29. What becomes of the Engin-'''<br><br />
<br />
(Page 15)<br><br />
<br />
'''eering and Textile graduates?'''<br><br />
:Most of them go to the great manufacturing centers and there learn the details of their profession.<br><br />
'''30. Do they return to their native State?'''<br><br />
:The electric properties in Orangeburg, Newberry, Spartanburg, Union, St. Matthews, Conway, and other towns are in charge of Clemson graduates. About 75 per cent of the Textile graduates are at work in South Carolina, and some of them are near the top of the profession.<br><br />
'''31. What becomes of the large number who do not graduate?'''<br><br />
:After one or two years work spent at Clemson, they go back to be citizens of South Carolina, taking with them their greater knowledge of the sciences that underlie Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts.<br><br />
'''32. What per cent of the students pay tuition?'''<br><br />
:Only about 10 per cent.<br><br />
'''33. Who decides whether or not a student shall get free tuition? Do the College authorities decide this?'''<br><br />
<br />
(Page 16)<br><br />
<br />
:No; the law puts the decision in the hands of the County Auditor.<br><br />
'''34. How many free scholarships are offered by Clemson College?'''<br><br />
:167 - one for each representative from the County to the General Assembly.<br><br />
'''35. How much are these scholarships worth?'''<br><br />
:$100.00, and free tuition, worth $40. more.<br><br />
'''36. Does the State Legislature make an appropriation to pay for these scholarships as they do for the scholarships at the Citadel, Winthrop, and the University?'''<br><br />
:No; the entire amount, about $17,000, comes out of the current funds of the College.<br><br />
'''37. How are these scholarships awarded?'''<br><br />
:The college faculty makes out the examination, the County Board of Eduction holds the examination, and sends the papers back to the Clemson faculty to grade. The law requires a grade of 60% in order to pass. All who make that grade are<br><br />
<br />
(Page 17)<br><br />
<br />
:reported to the County Superintendent of Education as having passed. The County Board makes a recommendation to the State Board of Education, and this Board announces the award.<br><br />
'''38. Is the Clemson faculty in any way responsible if the scholarships sometimes go to boys who are well able to pay their way through College?'''<br><br />
:The faculty knows nothing of the need of the applicants. They merely grade the papers and send the results to the County Superintendent of Education. The County Board alone is responsible, because the State Board, under the law, is compelled to act upon the recommendation of the County Board.<br><br />
'''39. What courses are scholarship students required to take?'''<br><br />
:They are required to take Agricultural Courses, excepting one student only from each County who may take the Textile Course. None are allowed to take the Engineering Courses.<br><br />
<br />
(Page 18)<br><br />
<br />
'''40. What measures are taken to surround the students with proper religious influences?'''<br><br />
:The Trustees appropriate $3,000 annually for religious service and instruction. Four resident ministers of the Baptist, Episcopal, Metyhodist and Presbyterian denominations receive $500 each for preaching in the College chapel, conducting morning services, and doing pastoral work among the students. $500.00 is appropriated to bring to Clemson ministers of Protestant denominations not represented by the resident ministers, and $500 is contributed to the salary of the student [[Y. M. C. A.]] Secretary, who lives in Barracks and works among the students.<br><br />
'''41. How many students were enrolled in the [[Y. M. C. A.]], Bible Study Classes, and Sunday School last session?'''<br><br />
:Of the total enrollment of 653, 338 enrolled in the Bible Study Classes, 266 belonged to the Y. M. C. A., and an equally large number to the Sunday School.<br><br />
<br />
(Page 19)<br><br />
<br />
'''-THE FACULTY-'''<br><br />
'''42. How does Clemson rank as a College?'''<br><br />
:Clemson College is regarded by those in a position to judge, as one of '''the great Agricultural Colleges in the South.''' It has a larger percentage of students taking the Agricultural Courses than any other Agricultural and Mechanical College in the United States. Its entrance requirements in the subjects taught are the same as those of the University, the Citadel, and other Colleges of the State.<br><br />
'''43. How large is the faculty of Clemson?'''<br><br />
:There are fifty-two teachers, and in addition thirty-six salaried officers and employees, including the [[Experiment Station]] workers.<br><br />
'''44. The charge was made to the last Legislature that relatives of''' the Trustees are elected as teachers and officers at Clemson.<br><br />
:It is a fact that Clemson has on its faculty and among its officers men who are related to its Trustees. Perhaps it is thought in some quar-<br><br />
<br />
(Page 20)<br><br />
<br />
:ters that the relationship unfits them for the usual rights and priviledges of citizenship, but you do not think so, do you?<br><br />
'''45. No; but what is the explanation''' of the situation?<br><br />
:Of the ten officers and teachers named in the report as being related to members of the Board, two of them became related by marriage several years after their election. Two were elected upon the recommendation of [[Dr. Hartzog]], and one was appointed outright by him. One was elected upon the recommendation of [[Pres. Mell]], and three were appointed by him between Board meetings, their appointments being later confirmed by the Board. One, an assistant book-keeper, was nominated by a member of the Finance Committee not related to him and elected without objection on the part of the President.<br><br />
<br />
:One of the ten, who was originally appointed by the President, was promoted to a position in the [[Experiment Station]], in the face of the President's<br><br />
<br />
(Page 21)<br><br />
<br />
:recommendation of another party. This person was, however, recommended by the head of the Department concerned, although at a salary less than that given him at election.<br><br />
'''46. It would seem from the above statement that if nepotism exists at Clemson, it is the result of the official acts of the last two Presidents.'''<br><br />
:The record has been cited, - it is for you to draw your own conclusions.<br> <br />
'''47. What about the ability of these relatives to properly perform their duties?'''<br><br />
:It would appear that they are doing satisfactory work. There is nothing on the records to show that their sevices have not been satisfactory.<br><br />
'''48. Would it not have been well if all the facts could have been laid before the Legislative Committee before they made their report?'''<br><br />
:They had presented to them all the facts that are here related.<br><br />
'''49. Why then did they not give both sides and let the people judge?'''<br><br />
:That is a question which you will<br><br />
<br />
(Page 22)<br><br />
<br />
:have to ask the Committee. I cannot answer it for them.<br><br />
<br />
'''THE TAG TAX ON FERTILIZERS.'''<br><br />
'''50. How is Clemson College supported?'''<br><br />
:By the interest on the Clemson bequest, by moneys received from the U. S. Government, from a small amount received from tuition fees, but principally from the Inspection Tax on Fertilizers.<br><br />
'''51. Does not the Legislature appropriate money for the support of the College.'''<br><br />
:Since [[1894]], sixteen years ago, the Legislature of South Carolina has not been asked for, nor has it given, one dollar to Clemson's support.<br><br />
'''52. How does the College come by the Fertilizer Tax?'''<br><br />
:When the advocates of Agricultural education were conducting a campaign for an Agricultural College, they promised the farmers if they would vote to give the College the 25 cents per ton tax on all fertilizers<br><br />
<br />
(Page 23)<br><br />
<br />
:sold in the State, they would not only inspect and analyze the feretilizers, but would build and maintain the College as well.<br><br />
'''53. Have the Trustees kept this promise?'''<br><br />
:The College has just closed its seventeenth session, with a graduating class of 77.-33 in the Agricultural Courses, and 44 in the Engineering and Textile Courses. Not only has the College been operated successfully during these seventeen sessions, but out of its current income the Trustees have added nearly $1,000,000 in lands and building to the State's assets.<br><br />
'''54. Who pays the Fertilizer Tax, - the farmers or the manufacturers?'''<br><br />
:In its last analysis, the consumers usually pay all the cost of manufacturing and marketing an article, but it is entirely possible in this particular case that the farmers of other States pay as much to Clemson's support as do the farmers of South Carolina - if the farmers pay at all.<br><br />
'''55. How can that be?'''<br><br />
<br />
(Page 24)<br><br />
<br />
:Suppose a fertilizer manufacturer made one million tons of fertilizer, and sold half in South Carolina where the tax is 25 cents per ton, and say half in North Carolina, where, let us assume, there is no tax. Since fertilizers are sold in different States at the same prices, barring difference in freight rates and competitive conditions, the manufacturer would add to the cost of making the million tons of fertilizer, $125,000. This is what 25 cents per ton on half of his product would amount to. If, then, he sells half in South Carolina and half in North Carolina at the same F. O. B. factory price, it is evident that the South Carolina farmers would be paying $62,500 and the North Carolina farmers $62,500 to Clemson. The 25 cents a ton would be equally distributed over the two States, and over the entire output.<br><br />
'''56. Would abolition of the tax reduce the price of fertilizers to farmers?'''<br><br />
:I do not believe that it would. The price of fertilizers varies from year<br><br />
<br />
(Page 25)<br><br />
<br />
:to year, depending not only upon the cost of manufacture, but upon the general condition of the country, and upon competitive conditions as well. How could the farmers tell whether or not they were getting a 25c. per ton reduction when the price varies from one season to another, often as much as $5.00 per ton?<br><br />
'''57. Do the farmers get anything in return for the 25 cents tax which they pay?'''<br><br />
:Indeed they do. If it were not for the Inspection and Analysis, they would pay for an inferior article that could not be disposed of in States having an Inspection Law.<br><br />
'''(*)58. Do the chemists who analyze the fertilizers find many fertilizers that do not come up to the guarantee?'''<br><br />
:No. A manufacturer cannot afford to be detected and advertised, hence the standard of the goods sold to the farmers of South Carolina is usually kept up to the guarantee.<br><br />
'''59. Do the manufacturers complain'''<br><br />
(*)See appendix, page 43.<br><br />
<br />
(Page 26)<br><br />
<br />
'''of the tag tax?'''<br><br />
:No. I do not doubt but that all of them are in favor of it. Certainly reputable companies who would have to compete against dishonest competitors favor it.<br><br />
'''60. What objection is there to putting the tax in the State Treasury, and letting the Legislature make Clemson a definite appropriation and use the balance for other purposes?'''<br><br />
:A special commodity tax cannot be levied except for inspection purposes. For example, you could not tax fertilizers to run the State Government or the Public Schools, because neither the State Government nor the Public Schools make the analysis. The Act sets forth that the tax is to be used for the purpose of inspection, not to run the College. The Supreme Court has decided in another State where the question has come up, that an exact balance between the cost of inspection and the revenue from the tax cannot be required so long as the beneficiary of the tax performs the inspection and analysis. Such being<br><br />
<br />
(Page 27)<br><br />
<br />
:the case, and with the knowledge and consent of the farmers of the State, the College is to a large measure supported by what is left over and above the cost of making the inspection and analysis.<br><br />
'''61. Well?'''<br><br />
:Now, if the act legalizing the fertilizer tax set forth that the tax was to be used for running the State Government or supporting '''High Schools''', or anything other than for inspection, don't you see it would be unconstitutional on its face, and the Supreme Court, as in the North Carolina case, where part of the tax was used for the benefit of the common schools, would so declare.<br><br />
'''62. What then would result?'''<br><br />
:If the fertilizer tax was abolished, it would mean practically the ruin of a great Agricultural College, because the tag tax is the principal source of its support.<br><br />
'''63. Do those who advocate some other use for the tax know that Clemson will lose at all is a law were passed requiring part of it to be used'''<br><br />
<br />
(Page 28)<br><br />
<br />
'''for High School purposes?'''<br><br />
:Very likely '''some''' know it, and advocate the diversion for the very purpose of injuring the College. Others have never had this phase of the question brought to their attention, and believe honestly that some of Clemson's revenue should be used in the ways suggested.<br><br />
<br />
'''INCOME AND EXPENDITURES.'''<br><br />
'''64. What was Clemson's income for the last fiscal year?'''<br><br />
:The fiscal year ended [[June 30]], [[1910]]. The total income for the College for that year was as follows:<br><br />
Tag Tax on Fertilizers.................$ 226,980.96<br><br />
Interest on Clemson Bequest.............3,512.36<br><br />

:The Public Work consists of the work required by the State laws and by the United States Government law, and includes also a large amount<br><br />
<br />
(Page 30)<br><br />
<br />
:of Agricultural benefaction work undertaken by the Board of Trustees on their own initiative. The following is in detail the expenditure for Public Work:<br><br />

'''67. Why is there a deficit in boarding the Cadets?'''<br><br />
:The price of provisions and everything which enters into the cost of<br><br />
<br />
(Page 31)<br><br />
<br />
:living has materially advanced.<br><br />
'''68. Have the Trustees raised the price of board so as not to have this deficit in the future?'''<br><br />
:No. At the [[March]] meeting, the Trustees, after discussing the matter very fully, decided not to raise the price of board, believing that in such raise, many a needy boy would be deprived of getting an education. However, they hope that with an increased number of students, and the practicing of every possible economy, that at the present rate the dormitories may be made self-supporting.<br><br />
'''69. Your figures would seem to show that on the basis of a College, and not counting its outside work, Clemson costs only a little over $133,600 to operate. What is the cost to the State per student?'''<br><br />
:On the basis of last session's attendence (653 men) the cost to the State per student was only $204.63, which is not high compared with many technical colleges in the U. S.<br><br />
'''70. What is the cost to the parent?'''<br><br />
:The average cost to the parent, in-<br><br />
<br />
(Page 32)<br><br />
<br />
:cluding board, heat, light, water, laundry, uniforms, and all necessary books, etc., is approximately $140.00 per session for students who do not pay tuition, and $40.00 additional for those who do pay tuition. The only other necessary expense is railroad fare, which of course cannot be set down with any accuracy.<br><br />

<br />
'''INCREASE IN THE FERTILIZER TAX'''<br><br />
<br />
'''71. The Fertilizer Tax for last year was about $50,000 more than for the year before. What did the Trustees do with the increase?'''<br><br />
:The Public Work already enumerated was continued and extended. We have organized a Co-operative Association, the College furnishing the seeds and in some cases fertilizers and giving the necessary expert supervision to the end that tests made on the Experiment Station at Clemson may be repeated on hundreds of farms in South Carolina under every variety of soil and climate.<br><br />
<br />
(Page 33)<br><br />
<br />
'''72. What is this co-operative work likely to accomplish?'''<br><br />
:To illustrate. In the matters of fertilizer alone, the farmers can be saved millions of dollars by knowing just what fertilizers are needed for certain soils. In some sections of the State, potash is being used where none is necessary. In other sections, lime is being used to no purpose. In others, more phosphoric acid is needed, etc.<br><br />
'''73. Does this work cost $50,000?'''<br><br />
:No; only a small part of that amount. But in addition to this experimental work, we held 100 farmers' institutes during the summer, we put a live stock expert in the field, to go from one section to another to stimulate the live stock industry in this State, and we aided in teaching Agriculture in the Rural Schools by sending an expert in this line to visit the schools and assist at County, and State Teachers' Institutes. We are organizing a correspondence course with the farmers, and in other similar ways, we are helping them to be<br><br />
<br />
(Page 34)<br><br />
<br />
:better farmers and better citizens.<br><br />
'''74. Will the work you have enumerated require the $50,000?'''<br><br />
:No: while we are vworking among the farmers of the State, we must not forget their sons who are here to study Agriculture and allied subjects. Clemson has had to begin in the woods and build a city, has had to erect College buildings for teaching, homes for its teachers and officers to live in, its own water and electric light system, etc. It has by no means finished building yet. At least twenty more residences must be built to house its faculty, and a most pressing need was a Dairy Barn, and a new up-to-date Dairy, and more arable land. The last three have been provided for.<br><br />
'''75. Has not the College enough land already?'''<br><br />
:Yes, enough land, but not enough arable land. Clemson College lies at the foot-hills of the mountains, and has only 330 acres of really arable land. Its hills are barren and washed. They need more animal matter to<br><br />
<br />
(Page 35)<br><br />
<br />
:make them fertile and productive. At present, the acreage of arable land limits the size of our herds, and improvement on our hill land has been slight, if not imperceptible. The College is going to buy the adjoining bottom land having about 220 acres, and near this bottom land will build a model Animal Husbandry Division.<br><br />
'''76. What will this Animal Husbandry Division cost?'''<br><br />
:In the end, probably about $50,000, but $10,000 will be necessary to make a start.<br><br />
:All of course cannot be done at once.<br><br />
'''77. Will dairy animals be the only kind raised?'''<br><br />
:No: the idea is to eventually raise fine breeds of hogs, horses, sheep, goats, and beef animals as well as dairy animals, so that at small cost the farmers of the State can get the best stock from Clemson.<br><br />
'''78. What is the new Dairy building needed for?'''<br><br />
:Clemson expects to add to its regular courses short winter and summer courses of from two to six<br><br />
<br />
(Page 36)<br><br />
<br />
:weeks for the farmers, and it is as much for their instruction as for the students that a larger and moree modern building is needed. Our present Dairy is a little old single-story wooden affair, about 30 feet square totally unsuited to meet our present needs or to illustrate modern methods.<br><br />
'''79. What will the new Dairy building cost?'''<br><br />
:Complete, it will probably cost at least $20,000.<br><br />
'''80. From what you say, it seems that Clemson hasn't enough money to do what is immediately in prospect.'''<br><br />
:That is true. We could use $100,000 more than we will get. We need badly a Library and Gymnasium building.<br><br />
'''81. Have these plans for enlargement been made public?'''<br><br />
:Yes, time and again.<br><br />
'''82. Will not the increase in lands, barns, etc., involve the State in greater expense to maintain the College?'''<br><br />
<br />
(Page 37)<br><br />
<br />
On the contrary, they will, by increasing the size of our farming and dairy interests, make these enterprises more nearly self-supporting and perhaps profitable, whereas now, on account of their size, they are run at a loss.<br><br />
'''83. But suppose the tax continues to increase. What then?'''<br><br />
:Enlarge the College until every boy in South Carolina who wishes an education such as we give can get it. At present the maximum capacity of the College is about 650 boys. It could easily grow to 1,000 in the next five years if increased dormitory and other facilities were provided. Work for the benefit of the people could also be indefinitely expanded.<br><br />
'''84. Would the public schools be materially helped if they could get a part of the tag tax?'''<br><br />
:No: the public schools cost nearly $1,900,000 per year to support; and even if half of Clemson's income from the tag tax were given to the schools, it would not enable them to operate on an average one<br><br />
<br />
(Page 38)<br />
<br />
:week longer.<br><br />
'''85. Would it be wise to spend the money to maintain Agricultural High Schools in different sections of the State?'''<br><br />
:I do not think so. Agriculture should be taught in all the schools, rural, elementary and high schools. No school, regardless of its name, can afford to neglect the teaching of the "three R's." Hence an "Agricultural High School" would be nothing more than an ordinary high school with the subject of Agriculture added to the course. We are hardly able to properly maintain one system of schools now.<br><br />
'''86. Does not the State Law now favor the teaching of Agriculture in the schools?'''<br><br />
:Yes, and when taught in hundreds of schools that are in reach of every boy and girl in the State, we will get maximum results at a minimum of cost.<br><br />
'''87. Would a few Agricultural Schools located in different parts of the State be any more accessible to'''<br><br />
<br />
(Page 39)<br><br />
<br />
'''the people as a whole, or any less costly per student than at Clemson itself?'''<br><br />
:No. If a boy has to leave home and board at a High School in order to study Agriculture he might as well go to an Agricultural College where there are better facilities for teaching than is possible at any High School.<br><br />

:::'''CONCLUSION'''<br> <br />
::::____<br><br />
<br />
'''88. Do you feel that the future of Clemson is assured, -- that the people will stand by it?'''<br><br />
:Clemson has not yet done all for South Carolina that perhaps it should have done, and certainly not all that it intends to do. But Clemson College, is yet a young institution. It is going to be dear to the people because it is going to be increasingly helpful to them. It will in time touch every phase of their life. It will be the enter from which will radiate energy and help. Allied with all other forces which are work-<br><br />
<br />
(Page 40)<br><br />
<br />
:ing for the upbuilding of the State, it will aspire to be a leader, and every year will find it a greater institution because a better servant of the people.<br><br />
:But to attain properly to a full measure of success, sympathetic cooperation on the part of the old students of Clemson, the Press and the friends of Agricultural and Industrial Education everywhere is needed. Unfair and uninformed criticism, destructive rather than constructive, can only injure the College and retard, though not destroy, its progress. The College is a State institution, and must be, and should be, accountable to the people. It has no right to resent just criticism of any feature of its management, and does not. At the same time, it should be given fair treatment; credit for what it is attempting to do for the welfare of the State. The College fears nothing, from an honest investigation, however searching.<br><br />
:The Agricultural people of South<br><br />
<br />
(Page 41)<br><br />
<br />
:Carolina are entitled to have a College, second to none in the State, -- a College of which they can justly be proud, because it is distinctly the institution of their profession, and they are paying for it. Its doors are open to the sons of lawyers, editors, preachers and men of all other professions. None of these pay one cent to its support, and yet criticism comes oftenest, not from the farmers, but from the class who enjoy the benefits offered by the College and who are very welcome, but who bear no part of its financial burden.<br><br />
:Clemson College offers to the poor boy of South Carolina an opportunity to enjoy some of the good things of life. It provides a way by which, if he have the capacity for knowledge, he need not die in ignorance.<br><br />
:The best evidence of Clemson's position in the esteem of the people who support it is the increasingly large number of young men who seek education here. The enrollment<br><br />
<br />
(Page 42)<br><br />
<br />
:for the present session will probably go over the 700 mark, -- the largest in its history.<br><br />
:The College has just now reached that point in its development where it can give the largest and best service, and despite temporary set backs, occasional injustice and misrepresentation, it will speedily attain to that great future which the people of South Carolina have a right to expect of it.<br><br />

<br />
'''METHOD OF INSPECTION AND ANALYSIS.'''<br><br />
<br />
'''89. Who makes the laws specifying how the fertilizer samples shall be drawn? Does the College make them?'''<br><br />
:No; the General Assembly of South Carolina makes the laws governing this matter. The College authorities simply obey them.<br><br />
'''90. How many kinds of fertilizer samples can be drawn?'''<br><br />
:Two kinds of samples can be tak-<br><br />
<br />
(Page 43)<br><br />
<br />
:en, --namely, "official samples" drawn by the College inspectors, and "farmers' samples" that may be drawn by any purchaser in a manner prescribed by law.<br><br />
'''91. How are the "official samples" drawn?'''<br><br />
:The State is divided into fourteen districts, with an inspector to each district. This inspector is instructed to visit frequently shipping points, cross roads, etc. Whenever he finds a lot of fertilizer he is instructed to take a sample from one out of every ten sacks if there are more than ten, and from every sack if less than ten. These samples are thoroughly mixed together and a 32-ounce bottle filled with the mixture. This bottle is sealed and numbered in the presence of a witness, who unites with the inspector in an affidavit to the effect that the sample is a fair and representative one, and drawn in accordance with the law.<br><br />
'''92. What becomes of this sample?<br><br />
:It is sent to the Fertilizer Inspection Department of Clemson Col-<br><br />
<br />
(Page 44)<br><br />
<br />
:lege. This Department is in the immediate charge of Mr. [[H. M. Stackhouse]], who works under the supervision of the Fertilizer Board of Control, consisting of Messrs. [[W. D. Evans]], [[John G. Richards]], and [[Richard I. Manning]].<br><br />
'''93. How is the analysis made?'''<br><br />
:Samples are sent by number only to the Chemical Department where skilled chemists are told to look for the ingredients claimed by the manufacturer. The name of the manufacturer and the amount of each ingredient is not known to the chemists.<br><br />
'''94. Why is it necessary to tell him what ingredients to look for?'''<br><br />
:Because different experts make analyses for the different ingredients. If the fertilizer contains only phosphoric acid, it is sent to the room where the analysis for that material is made by an expert who gives his time pricipally to this one line of work. If it contains potash, it is sent to a different room and a different chemist, etc. If the chemists were not told what ingredients are<br><br />
<br />
(Page 45)<br><br />
<br />
:claimed by the manufacturer, every sample would have to be analyzed for all possible elements, this, for no good reason, delaying the work and increasing the cost.<br><br />
'''95. Did you say that the chemist has no idea whose goods he is analyzing, and what amount of each ingredient is claimed by the manufacturer?'''<br><br />
:He has no information whatever along these lines.<br><br />
'''96. What record is made of the analyses?'''<br><br />
:The Chief Chemist sends the analyses to Mr. Stackhouse, the Secretary of the Fertilizer Board of Control, who compares them with the guarantee of the manufacturer sent him by his inspector.<br><br />
:The analyses are published, and every manufacturer whose goods fall below the limit prescribed by law, (3%) has his name published in capital letters with black index hand pointing to it.<br><br />
'''97. What penalty is inflicted upon manufacturers whose fertilizers fall'''<br><br />
<br />
(Page 46)<br><br />
<br />
'''below the guarantee?'''<br><br />
:The manufacturer is subject to prosecution, and is required to pay to the farmer the difference between the value of the fertilizer as shown by analysis, and the value as shown by his guarantee.<br><br />
'''98. Are these rebates ever collected?'''<br><br />
:Yes; last season over forty claims were made and collected.<br><br />
'''99. Why does the Secretary of the Fertilizer Department have to have the name of the manufacturer before the analysis is made?'''<br><br />
:Because he would be unable to publish the results for the benefit of the people of the State if he did not have that information. The analyses would be of use only to the sender of the sample.<br><br />
'''100. How are "farmers' samples" drawn?'''<br><br />
:The law prescribes that any puchaser of fertilizers may take a sample within fifteen days after delivery, and in the same way that an inspector does, the drawing to be<br><br />
<br />
(Page 47)<br><br />
<br />
:made in the presence of two witnesses, one chosen by the buyer, and one by the seller. The seller must have six days' notice. The sample must be sealed in the presence of a third disinterested witness, and the three must sign a certificate that accompanies the sample to Clemson College. The analysis is made in the same way as for "official samples."<br><br />
'''101. Is there not an undue amount of "red tape" in drawing these "farmers' samples?"'''<br><br />
:It would seem so, but it should be remembered that the manufacturers have thousands of dollars invested in costly plants, and the law must protect them against fraud, as well as protect the purchaser. It must be equally fair to both parties.<br><br />
'''102. Do the Chemists who analyze the fertilizers find many fertilizers that do not come up to the guarantee?'''<br><br />
:No. Last fertilizer year, ending [[June 30]], '10, out of 965 samples analyzed, 850 were of the grade claimed for them, 96 were of a higher grade<br><br />
<br />
(Page 48)<br><br />
<br />
:than claimed, and only 19 fell below the grade claimed.<br><br />
'''103. What use then is the inspection and the analysis?<br><br />
:If it were not for the analysis, South Carolina would be made a dumping ground for fertilizers that could not be sold in states having an inspection law. If there were no violations even, it would be the strongest possible evidence of the desirability of an inspection law, because it would indicate that the law was efficient to protect the farmers in their purchases of fertilizers.<br><br />
'''104. Do manufacturers residing in South Carolina have to pay an inspection tax on fertilizers sold outside the State?'''<br><br />
:They do, if the laws of the State in which they are sold require it, but Clemson gets no benefit from the tax on fertilizers manufactured in the State but sold '''outside''' of South Carolina.<br><br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:Cheap Seats Bus.jpg|float|right]]The '''Cheap Seats Bus''' is growing to legendary status at [[Clemson University]]. Started in [[January]] [[2003]] by Dave Topham, Frank Murphy, Bryan Griffiths, and 15 other Clemson students, the "Cheap Seats" is a mini-bus that has been transformed into a tailgating machine. The bus is equipped with a wooden deck on its roof, a classic Clemson paint job, an assortment of deck furniture, and a grill. Whether looming above the centerfield wall at baseball games or claiming a prime tailgating spot for football games, the "Cheap Seats" is a staple at nearly every major Clemson athletic event. A theme song even exists for the bus: "Cheap Seats" by Alabama. The popularity of the bus among all ages ensures that it will remain an integral piece of the Clemson tailgating experience for many years. The Cheap Seaters sell a fund-raising tee-shirt depicting the Clemson baseball team running to the outfield fence to thank the bus boys and girls for their support. According to one account, the local fire marshall was concerned about the vehicle's presence against the outfield of the baseball stadium, but was politely asked to back off by athletic department officials who recognized that the Cheap Seats tradition is a good thing. Coach Leggett is a prime supporter of the Cheap Seats.<br />
<br />
On [[October 28]], [[2009]], the Cheap Seats Bus moved for the last time as it moved from winter storage on [[Highway 88]] to [[Doug Kingsmore Stadium]] for permanent installation beyond the outfield fenceline.<br />

<hr />
<div>Charles Byron Pell, '''Charlie Pell''', a native of Albertville, Alabama, born [[February 17]], [[1941]], became Clemson's 20th head football coach in [[1977]](see 1977 Clemson Tiger Varsity Roster [http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/clem/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/1977roster.pdf]) after [[Red Parker]] was fired following a 3-6-2 season record in [[1976]]. A two-way starter and three-year letterman at the University of Alabama under legendary Coach [[Paul William "Bear" Bryant]], Pell was a member of the Crimson Tide's [[1961]] National Championship team.<br />
<br />
'''Early career'''<br />
<br />
Upon his graduation in [[1964]], Pell initially worked for Coach Bryant at Alabama, but went to Kentucky with former 'Bama Assistant Coach Charlie Bradshaw in [[1965]]. When Bradshaw retired in [[1969]], Pell applied for and got the head coaching position at Jacksonville (Alabama) State University. Apparently, the school did not want a bachelor coach so Pell married his girlfriend Ward Noel in 1969, formerly a student working in the Kentucky athletic department. This was his second marriage. The JSU Gamecocks went 10-0 in [[1970]], the second of five seasons that Pell coached the team, and beat Florida A&M in the [[Orange Blossom Classic]], the first predominately white team to play in the historically black bowlgame. JSU was 33-13-1 under Pell. In [[1974]] Pell joined the staff of former 'Bama Assistant Coach Jimmy Sharpe at [[Virginia Tech]] in [[Blacksburg, Virginia]].<br />
<br />
'''Give 'Em Hell, Pell'''<br />
<br />
Pell arrived at Clemson as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator under [[Red Parker]] in early [[1976]]. After the lame 3-6-2 1976 outcome, Coach Parker was ordered to fire several assistants. When he refused, Athletic Director [[Bill McClellan]] terminated him and asked Pell to take over the reins. As Parker's replacement in [[1977]], he turned the program around, bringing the Tigers an 8-2-1 season, their first top 20 ranking since [[1959]], and a berth in the 33rd annual [[Gator Bowl]] where the team faced the defending [[National Champion]] Pittsburgh Panthers. In [[1978]], Pell led the Tigers to a 10-1 regular season, Clemson's first [[ACC]] championship since [[1967]], and a second bowl bid, a return match in the 34th annual [[Gator Bowl]] opposite the [[Ohio State Buckeyes]].<br />
<br />
'''Go to Hell, Pell'''<br />
<br />
Pell stirred up controversy, though, by accepting the head coaching position at the University of Florida, in Gainesville, on [[December 4]], [[1978]], before the bowl game was played. His assistant, [[Danny Ford]], was named as his replacement and Pell's offer to stick around for the bowl game was declined.<br />
<br />
Pell was a near unanimous choice for [[Atlantic Coast Conference]] coach of the year in both [[1977]] and [[1978]], the first coach, regardless of sport, to be so honored in each of his first two years.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, there was a downside to Charlie Pell's success - recruiting violations that would lead to the Clemson football program being placed on the probation immediately after winning the [[1981]] National Championship. The University of Florida would experience many wins under Pell, and would also be put on probation a few years later due to his management of their football program.<br />
<br />
'''Battle with depression'''<br />
<br />
After leaving college coaching, Pell sold automobiles in Florida for a time. This and other business deals failed, leaving Pell deep in debt. On [[February 2]], [[1994]], suffering from clinical depression, Pell attempted to take his own life by asphyxiation but circumstances prevailed to save him. Pell learned to deal with depression, and in 1995 he coached for a year at a new high school near Lakeland, Fla. His players were undersized and inexperienced, and they finished with a 1-9 record.<br />
<br />
After being diagnosed with and fighting cancer for many months after a large tumor on his lung was diagnosed in October [[2000]], Charlie Pell died of cancer in [[May 29]] [[2001]]. He was 60. He is survived by his wife; three children, Charles Pell Jr. of Birmingham, Ala., Sloan Pell Farrell of Huntsville, Ala., and Carrick Pell of Shreveport, La.; and two grandchildren. He spent the last years of his life living in Southside, Alabama. Shortly before his death, Pell was honored at the spring [[Orange & White]] game in April with a ceremony at halftime for his part in putting Clemson back on a winning tradition.<br />
<br />
'''Irony of the flawed hero'''<br />
<br />
Despite Charlie Pell's infractions in recruiting, he was an excellent coach, well-liked by his players. Both the [[University of Florida]] and [[Clemson]] now generally overlook the probation he brought upon each institution, and focus on the very real improvements he brought to both programs, making both [[National Championship]] contenders. Pell went 18-4-1 at Clemson, and his .804 winning percentage at Clemson is second only to [[John Heisman]]'s .833 in Clemson football record.<br />
<br />
'''Pell on Attitude'''<br />
<br />
"I want players to think as positively as the 85-year-old man who married a 25-year-old woman and bought a five-bedroom house next to the elementary school."<br />

<hr />
<div>On [[December 28]], [[1978]] in the [[Gator Bowl]], [[Charlie Bauman]], a second-team [[Clemson]] noseguard, intercepted a pass thrown by Ohio State freshman quarterback [[Art Schlichter]] with two minutes left in the game. Bauman was tackled along the Ohio State sideline and began to taunt the Buckeye players. Ohio State head coach Woody Hayes lost his temper and struck Bauman with his right forearm before being restrained by his players. Unsportsmanlike penalties against the Buckeyes left the Tigers with excellent field position, and Clemson quarterback [[Steve Fuller]] was able to run out the clock for a 17-15 Tiger victory. Hayes was fired as head coach at 7:45 a.m. the next morning, and never coached again. He also never apologized to Bauman. Hayes died [[March 12]], [[1987]]. (The road outside the Ohio State stadium, the "Horseshoe," was named for him.)<br />
<br />
Despite being fired as football coach, Hayes, a student of military history, continued to serve on the faculty at the Ohio State University. <br />

[[Image:Brackett_Atrium3.jpg|thumb|The Brackett Atrium computer lab]]<br />
<br />
[[Brackett Hall]], completed in [[1951]], is located next to [[Hardin Hall]], [[The Carillon Garden]], [[Amphitheater]], and across the street from [[Cox Plaza]] and [[Tillman Hall]]. It's just down the road, a few hundred yards, from [[Holmes]] and [[McCabe]] residence halls. Sometimes called the "Ology" building, [[Brackett Hall]] houses the [[Sociology]], [[Geology]], [[Psychology]], and [[Political Science]] departments. [[DCIT]] also holds some operations within this building. It has a large number of classrooms as well as three auditorium style classrooms for large lecture classes. On the bottom floor is the Brackett Atrium with an open computer lab and lounge area that is open 24/7. The Brackett computer lab is arguably one of the more popular on campus, and the computers are generally some of the fastest. On many occasions there have been imprompteau LAN parties there, with games like UT2004 being installed off of flash drives.<br />
<br />
In 2011 a new Aramark-operated POD Mart opened on the ground floor atrium.<br />
<br />
Brackett Hall is named for Dr. [[Richard Newman Brackett]], Ph.D., an early chemistry professor and department head who also chaired the Y.M.C.A. Advisory Board. Brackett was one of the original faculty in [[1891]], and survived all other members of Clemson's initial professors, passing away on [[November 27]], [[1937]].<br />

<hr />
<div>The Blue Ridge Railroad was the first rail line to reach the [[Pendleton]] District and [[Fort Hill]] area, in [[September]] [[1860]]. Issuing stock on [[July 1]], [[1859]], the Blue Ridge Railroad Company constructed a 44.2 mile line between [[Anderson]] and [[West Union, South Carolina]] via [[Pendleton]], whose town fathers lobbied hard for the line to be routed through their community, and the future site of [[Seneca]]. Its closest stop to Fort Hill was [[Cherry's Crossing]], where the line crossed the [[Seneca River]]. Construction began at Belton in [[1851]]. Plans to build a line through the Rabun Gap in Georgia to connect westward at Knoxville, Tennessee were stymied by the construction of several tunnels including the never-completed one-mile <br />
[[Stumphouse Tunnel]] above Walhalla in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Money for the project ran short, and the onset of the War Between the States in [[April]] [[1861]] halted construction which was never resumed. A final extension from West Union to Walhalla at the urging of the Town Council and local citizens saw the first train arrive [[November 14]], [[1877]], but no more track would ever be laid along the alignment up Stumphouse Mountain.<br />
<br />
The line never ran service beyond [[Walhalla]], and in the late 1990s, with the closing of the last textile plant using rail service in [[Walhalla]], it was truncated again at [[West Union]].<br />
<br />
In the 1800s, this was the most direct route between Columbia and Clemson. Sports team regularly rode out from [[Cherry's Crossing]].<br />
<br />
On [[August 10]], [[1871]], [[Thomas Green Clemson]] and [[Anna Maria Calhoun Clemson]]s' son, Capt. John Calhoun Clemson (b. [[July 17]], [[1841]]), was killed in a train wreck between a passenger train and a lumber or freight train on the Blue Ridge Railroad near the future [[Seneca, South Carolina]]. He was 30 and unmarried.<br />
<br />
It remained the only rail route through the Clemson area until the [[Atlanta & Richmond Air Line Railway]] constructed a line through the community of [[Calhoun]] opening in [[1873]], north of the Fort Hill plantation. The spot where the two rail lines crossed became [[Seneca, South Carolina]].<br />
<br />
On Friday night, [[June 16]], [[1876]], a train bound from Belton to [[Anderson]] Court House, broke through the trestle over Broadway Creek, killing all five on board, including Wilson, the engineer, and Sullivan, the mail agent. ("The Pickens Sentinel, Pickens Court House, South Carolina, 1872-1893, Historical and Genealogical Abstracts, Volume 1, compiled by Peggy Burton Rich and Marion Ard Whitehurst, Heritage Books, Inc., Bowie, Maryland, 1994, ISBN 1-55613-985-3, page 29.)<br />
<br />
In [[1880]], the [[Columbia and Greenville Railroad]] acquired the 34 miles of track that had been laid, which connected with their [[Belton]]-[[Anderson]] branch.<br />
<br />
In [[1884]] a wood depot was erected at [[West Union, South Carolina]] to accommodate travelers coming to stay in the Blue Ridge foothills and at the Mineral Springs Hotel in that community.<br />
<br />
In [[1901]], the [[Southern Railway]] purchased the line and operated it as a subsidiary as the Blue Ridge Railway. In [[1903]], the Southern also bought the Columbia and Greenville Railroad and then leased the Belton-Anderson branch to the Blue Ridge Railway. This arrangement would last until [[1951]]. <br />
<br />
A timetable printed in an ad in [[The Tiger]], effective [[July 28]], [[1910]], showed eastbound service at Cherry's as Passenger No. 12 at 7:44 a.m., and Passenger No. 10 at 4:04 p.m., both operating daily, and Mixed Train (freight and passenger cars) No. 8 at 11:56 a.m., daily except Sunday. Westbound service was Passenger No. 9 at 12:36 a.m., Passenger No. 11 at 6:44 p.m., both daily, and Mixed No. 7 at 8:11 a.m., daily except Saturday.<br />
<br />
In [[1915]], a new depot was built on North Main Street over the railroad cut in downtown Anderson, with steps down to the platforms at trackside beneath the station and housing division offices on the second floor. This building still exists in [[2011]].<br />
<br />
In [[1934]], the Blue Ridge was operating ten trains a day, two from Anderson to Belton, three from Belton to [[Seneca]], one from Seneca to Anderson and one from Belton to [[Walhalla]]. (Smith, Stacey A., "Memories of the Blue Ridge Railroad", self-published, circa 2005, page 12.)<br />
<br />
Demand for passenger service, which had surged during World War II and gas rationing, dropped sharply following the war as roads in the region improved and passenger trains on the Blue Ridge were dropped soon thereafter.<br />
<br />
In [[October]] [[1950]], two ALCo RS-3 diesel road-switchers were delivered to the line, Nos. 1 and 2, lettered "Blue Ridge" on the long hood but wearing the Southern Railway green, white and gold scheme. Operation of steam locomotives on the Blue Ridge Railway came to an end shortly thereafter and the retired engines scrapped. The two diesels would be the last motive power acquired by the BRRwy.<br />
<br />
On [[July 1]], [[1951]], the Southern Railway leased the the Blue Ridge Railway to another subsidiary, the [[Carolina and Northwestern Railway]], which operated a 120-mile line in North Carolina. That line had been acquired by the Southern circa [[1940]] after it went insolvent in [[1938]]. The former Blue Ridge Railway then operated as the Blue Ridge Division (not contiguous) of the Carolina and Northwestern Railway. RS-3s 1 and 2 were renumbered 7 and 8.<br />
<br />
With the creation of [[Lake Hartwell]] by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the late 1950s, the former Blue Ridge trestle over the [[Seneca River]] just west of [[Cherry's Crossing]] was replaced with new earthen approaches and bridge structure.<br />
<br />
On [[January 1]], [[1974]], the Southern Railway purchased the Norfolk Southern Railway, which stretched across North Carolina from [[Charlotte]] to Beaufort, and all the way north to Cape Henry, Virginia, and merged it with Carolina & Northwestern, but dropped the use of both names for the operation. It was about this time that the former Blue Ridge RR/Rwy ceased to be operated under the C&NW identity, being absorbed into the [[Southern Railway]] System, known as the Z-line, and thence into the new [[Norfolk Southern]] Company in [[1982]].<br />
<br />
As of [[2011]], the Norfolk Southern generally operates one freight a day over the former Blue Ridge, usually performing its switching duties for industrial customers between midnight and dawn.<br />

Events that occurred in 1990<br />
*"Howard" by [[Frank Howard]], [[Bob Bradley]], [[Virgil Parker]], is published by a printing house in Lincoln, Nebraska, softback, with ISBN 0-934904-22-7.<br />
*Winter: "VISIONS : Clemson's Yesteryears, 1880s-1960s" by [[History]] professor Dr. [[Alan Schaffer]], is published by Harmony House Publishers, Louisville, Kentucky, (ISBN 0-916509-55-9).<br />
*The City of Clemson dedicates a new City Hall building on [[Tiger Boulevard]].<br />
*[[January]]: [[Eddie Smith]] joins the Clemson faculty.<br />
*[[January]]: "Because it's the Centennial Class, the Class of 1989 was able to revive for one time only a Clemson tradition that died in the 1960s - the senior sidewalk. Close to 3,000 students made a minimum donation of $10 each for the priviledge of having their names imprinted on a sidewalk that runs through the historic heart of campus near the [[Calhoun mansion]]. In the process, almost 100 percent of the class members became donors to the [[Loyalty Fund]], the academic annual fund, as opposed to only 7 percent of the class of '88. Work began on the sidewalk in mid-January and was scheduled to be completed in April. Using 'movable type' - individual letters in a specially designed form - each name was spelled out and imprinted by hand. Kennemore Brick and Construction Co. got the contract to do the work. Both both the contractor and the facilities, maintenance and operations department (the [[P-Plant]]) have said 'Never again.' It's a slow and painstaking process, and there are not enough miles of sidewalk that need to be built or renovated to continue the practice. The administration is looking at other alternatives, such as bronze plaques on retaining walls, if future classes want to do a names project as a senior project." ("''News Front''", Clemson World, Spring 1990, Volume 43, Number 1, page 7.)<br />
*[[January 4]]: The [[Sheep Barn]] is placed on the National Register of Historic Places.<br />
*[[January 5]]: The N.C.A.A. outlines rules violations made by the Clemson Football program. The N.C.A.A. said a Clemson coach gave a player up to $150 on two occasions and told him to distribute the money to selected players. Six coaches were also accused of recruiting violations. Clemson officials have refused to say how many coaches named in the 15-page N.C.A.A. report were still employed. Rumours of [[Danny Ford]]'s resignation begin to circulate. (Associated Press, "''Clemson Drops Ford With $1 Million Deal''", New York Times, January 19, 1990.)<br />
*[[January 9]]: Clemson reveals that it is under NCAA investigation: "The Clemson University football program is being accused by the National Collegiate Athletic Association of more than a dozen illegal recruiting contacts and of giving players up to $150 in cash from 1984 to 1988, an NCAA report released today said. / In the most damaging recruiting allegation, the NCAA says that from [[November]] [[1984]] to [[September]] [[1987]], six coaches made 11 illegal recruiting contacts, which included meeting with four high school juniors and one sophomore. The NCAA does not allow college coaches to recruit players in person until after the players are no longer juniors."<br />
*[[January 11]]: The USA Today quotes [[Danny Ford]] as saying that "one of my unhappiest moments" occurred when the school decided "to spend $2.5 million on a learning center, and [they] could have put all of that into an athletic dorm." (Source: Sperber, Murray, ''College Sports Inc. - The Athletic Department vs. The University'', Henry Holt and Company, New York, 1990, ISBN 0-8050-1445-4, pages 264, 390.)<br />
*[[January 18]]: [[Danny Ford]] resigns as head coach after eleven seasons. He finishes his Tiger career tied for first in the [[ACC]] with 96 victories, and second in winning percentage. He was 96-29-4 overall for a .760 percentage. In 11 years as a coach, Ford had the third-best winning percentage among active coaches, behind Tom Osborne of Nebraska and Joe Paterno of Penn State, with a 96-29-4 record, including 6-2 in bowl games, and the 1981 unofficial national championship. Ford will receive $190,000 a year for the next three years and possibly five years if he does not accept another head-coaching job. The university also agreed to pay $13,000 in interest on Ford's farm and the balance of the mortgage -$100,000 - by Jan. 2, 1991, allowing Ford full ownership. Ford will also receive six Clemson football season tickets for the next three to five years.<br />
<br />
:Athletic Director [[Bobby Robinson]] praised Ford for his accomplishments but said there had been some conflicts.<br />
<br />
:"We have honest differences of opinion on certain basic aspects of the football program," Robinson said. "A separation under any terms would be difficult. An amicable parting is certainly less painful for all involved. That is why we felt it was in the university's best interests to agree to a fair settlement under the terms of Ford's contract and bring the matter to a close." (Associated Press, "''Clemson Drops Ford With $1 Million Deal''", New York Times, January 19, 1990.) Coverage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=3HS_ST7Nz8U<br />

Cook]] retires from the Clemson University [[Department of the Perfoming Arts]] after many years leading the Clemson bands, following a final directorial appearance with the Clemson University [[Symphonic Band]] in [[Tillman Auditorium]] on Sunday, [[April 22]], at 3 p.m. Selections include ''A Copland Portrait'', adapted by Clare Grundman, Robert Russell Bennett's ''Suite of Old American Dances'', John Barnes Chance's ''Incantation and Dance'', William Schuman's ''When Jesus Wept'' and ''Chester'', [[Clemson]] [[Department of the Performing Arts]] Professor [[Edwin A, Freeman]]'s ''Lydian Song'', John Williams: Evening at Pops, arranged by John Higgins, and John Philip Sousa's ''El Capitan March''<br />
*[[May 31]]: The [[NCAA]] places the Clemson football program on one year's probation after an investigation finds that two players received money, but the Tigers dodge serious sanctions that could have included a ban on postseason play and television. "We're glad to get it behind us," athletic director [[Bobby Robinson]] said. "It's been tough on a lot of people." The NCAA Committee on Infractions found that on at least two occasions in the fall of 1985, an athlete received and distributed cash payments of $50 and $70 to a teammate. (Associated Press, "''Clemson on probation''", The Journal-News, Seneca, South Carolina, Friday 1 June 1990, page D3.)<br />

The Jackets will go 11-0-1, and are 1st and 2nd in the final polls. [[DeChane Cameron]] makes Clemson assistant band director, [[Mark Greer]], an instant celebrity with a pass well out of bounds. "CNN's Play of the Day and ESPN's catch of the week showed Greer, dressed in a suit and a tie, snare the pass on the track next to the stands. 'I had to dodge my companion, fade back and jump for it,' Greer said. 'It was a good throw.' Greer held the ball aloft as he high-stepped a quick circle. He then flipped the ball to an official before exchanging a high-five with someone nearby. Greer said he opted for the high-five because of his last catch, which came in the end zone when he was at Arizona State in 1985. 'I spiked the ball and got reprimanded by the referee,' he said. Cameron saw the catch and celebration on replay. 'I cussed him out,' he said with a laugh. It was Greer's second reception in 10 years but his first at Clemson." (McCallum, Mark R., "''Tigers not cashing in on opportunities''", The State, Columbia, S.C., Friday 19 October 1990, page 6-C.) <br />

An autopsy does not uncover a cause of death, but it is soon revealed that he had taken phenylbutazone, a pain drug, illegally supplied by Clemson coaches. (Steirer, Jr., William F., "''The Outsider: Bill Lee Atchley, 1979-1985''", McKale, Donald M., editor, "Tradition: A History of the Presidency of Clemson University", Mercer University Press, Macon, Georgia, 1988, ISBN 0-86554-296-1, page 236.) "The prescription drug, which requires a physician's permission to use, had been obtained without prescription from a Nashville, Tennessee, druggist." (Wunder, John R., "''A Good Sport: Walter Thompson Cox, 1985-1986''", McKale, Donald M., editor, "Tradition: A History of the Presidency of Clemson University", Mercer University Press, Macon, Georgia, 1988, ISBN 0-86554-296-1, page 253.)<br />
*[[October 27]]: Clemson edges N.C. State in Raleigh for the win, 35-34.<br />
*[[October 30]]: Three coaches, Clemson track coach [[Stanley Narewski]], strength coach [[Samuel Colson]] and assistant strength coach [[Jack Harkness]], admit to distributing illegal drugs and steroids to athletes. Narewski provided the phenylbutazone to Jaspers. [[James Brummitt]], acting director of public safety, informs his superior, vice president of business and finance, [[Melvin Barnette]], a 27-year employee of the university. At this point, three administrators have learned of the serious nature of the situation: Brummitt, Barnette, and director of athletics, [[H.C. "Bill" McLellan]]. (Wunder, John R., "''A Good Sport: Walter Thompson Cox, 1985-1986''", McKale, Donald M., editor, "Tradition: A History of the Presidency of Clemson University", Mercer University Press, Macon, Georgia, 1988, ISBN 0-86554-296-1, page 253, citing articles in The Greenville News, Greenville, South Carolina, 17, 20 March 1985.)<br />
*Early [[November]]: Athletic Director [[Bill McLellan]] telephones solicitor [[William L. Traxler]] of the 13th circuit at his home, and informs him that coaches have admitted supplying drugs to the dead athlete. Traxler tells McLellan that it might be a matter for the grand jury. "Meanwhile, a physician in Seneca, [[James Pruitt]], wrote an autopsy report listing the cause of the young Dutchman's death as congestive heart failure, which had resulted from a congenital heart defect. Running had aggravated Jasper's condition." (Wunder, John R., "''A Good Sport: Walter Thompson Cox, 1985-1986''", McKale, Donald M., editor, "Tradition: A History of the Presidency of Clemson University", Mercer University Press, Macon, Georgia, 1988, ISBN 0-86554-296-1, page 253, citing article in The Greenville News, Greenville, South Carolina, 5 March 1985.)<br />
*[[November 3]]: The Tigers defeat Wake Forest in [[Death Valley]], 37-14. <br />
*[[November 9]]: As the start of a special first annual Spirit Blitz, students engage in the Great Hokie Hunt, following clues in [[The Tiger]] and on [[WSBF]], and searching across campus sites, with the winner receiving a trip to Cancun, Mexico. On Friday night, 10,000 turn out for a pep rally on the intramural field, followed by a concert by the Spongetones. Then a 90-foot screen atop [[Memorial Stadium]] brightened the sky with LASERCAST, a "glittering bombardment of multi-colored laser beams never before seen in the Carolinas."<br />
*[[November 10]]: Fans in [[Death Valley]] for the game with Virginia Tech find 80,000 colored flashcards taped to their seats, as well as 22,000 balloons in arches across [[Frank Howard Field]] at five yard intervals as part of the first ever Spirit Blitz. Dubbed "Tunnelvision", the twenty long strings are released into the sky. The Tigers defeat the Hokies, 17-10. <br />
*[[November 17]]: Twentieth-ranked Clemson plays Maryland in Baltimore Memorial Stadium, but the Tigers fall, 23-41, to the Terps.<br />
*[[November 24]]: The ninth ranked Gamecocks squeak by the Tigers in Death Valley, 21-22, to place chill on Clemson's probation season record of 7-4, 5-2 in conference but ineligible for title or post-season play. USC Coach Joe Morrison, who always wears black, lends his style to the team's nickname, "Black Magic". The Gamecocks achieve their first ten-win season.<br />
*Late [[November]]: No indictments have been returned in the [[Augustinus "Stijn Jaspers]] coaching drug scandal and very few are aware of what is happening on campus and in the Atchley administration. Then Paul Jaspers, the track star's brother, arrives determined to get answers. He is stonewalled by the Athletic Department which refuses to show him the autopsy report. Jaspers then finds an athlete willing to detail the coaches' drug distribution to team members and they go to the Clemson police. Jaspers also prevails upon Seneca physician [[James Pruitt]] to amend the autopsy report allowing for possible drug causation. Jaspers also encourages solicitor [[William L. Traxler]] to empanel a grand jury. (Wunder, John R., "''A Good Sport: Walter Thompson Cox, 1985-1986''", McKale, Donald M., editor, "Tradition: A History of the Presidency of Clemson University", Mercer University Press, Macon, Georgia, 1988, ISBN 0-86554-296-1, page 253, citing articles in The Greenville News, Greenville, South Carolina, 26, 31 March 1985.)<br />
*[[December 3]]: Date on which President [[Bill Atchley]] learns of the coaching and drugs scandal. "Atchley was so completely excluded from the administrative handling of the Jaspers affair that he did not learn of the problem until 3 December, when [[Walter T. Cox]], the vice president for student affairs at Clemson, informed him of the investigation, and evidence of the involvement of illegal drugs." (Steirer, Jr., William F., "''The Outsider: Bill Lee Atchley. 1979-1985''", McKale, Donald M., editor, "Tradition: A History of the Presidency of Clemson University", Mercer University Press, Macon, Georgia, 1988, ISBN 0-86554-296-1, page 236, citing Atchley/Steirer interview, 18 December 1985, the author's conversation with Solicitor William L. Traxler, 18 December 1985; and report of Traxler's on the investigation, 4 January 1985, CU President's papers, Atchley, folder 37, Special Collections.)<br />
*[[December 7]]: President [[Bill Atchley]] calls a meeting attended by director of athletics [[Bill McLellan]], the vice president for student affairs, [[Dean Cox]], and [[Bobby Robinson]], the assistant athletic director. Atchley informs them that SLED, the State Law Enforcement Agency, will investigate the serious athletic scandal unfolding. "According to the ''Greenville News'', McLellan begged for an internal investigation, but Atchley refused. [Solicitor William L.] Traxler had already called Atchley to tell him of the SLED investigation, but McLellan led many to believe the inquiry was Atchley's choice." (Wunder, John R., "''A Good Sport: Walter Thompson Cox, 1985-1986''", McKale, Donald M., editor, "Tradition: A History of the Presidency of Clemson University", Mercer University Press, Macon, Georgia, 1988, ISBN 0-86554-296-1, page 254, citing articles in The Greenville News, Greenville, South Carolina, 5 March 1985, and [[The Tiger]], 11 January 1985.)<br />
*[[December 11]]: After being suspended by Clemson President [[Bill Atchley]] for their involvement in illegal drug distribution to athletes, track coach [[Stanley Narewski]], strength coach [[Samuel Colson]] and assistant strength coach [[Jack Harkness]], resign this date. (Wunder, John R., "''A Good Sport: Walter Thompson Cox, 1985-1986''", McKale, Donald M., editor, "Tradition: A History of the Presidency of Clemson University", Mercer University Press, Macon, Georgia, 1988, ISBN 0-86554-296-1, page 254, citing articles in The Greenville News, Greenville, South Carolina, 5 March 1985, and [[The Tiger]], 11 January 1985.) Public reaction is swift, with [[The Tiger]] taking the same editorial stance as after the firing of football coach [[Red Parker]] and the [[Tates Locke]] basketball scandal in [[1976]], that a more complete house-cleaning in the athletic department is warranted. The Greenville News begins extensive coverage of the drug scandal and observes, "The extent of the problem at Clemson isn't clear, but it certainly isn't limited to the resigned coaches and members of the men's track team who first brought it to light."

The White House declared that it was the consensus of all of those most familiar with this case that but for the extraordinary criminal and degrading experiences that the petitioner suffered as a victim of the SLA, she would not have become a participant in the criminal acts for which she stands convicted and sentenced and would not have suffered the punishment and other consequences she has endured.<br />

Ironically, his former roommate in Johnstone Hall C-601 had been the scamp who stole a hubcap off the car when it was parked on the [[Union Plaza]] in November [[1975]], and who subsequently returns the dingus to him, inscribed "Courtesy of [[Seneca Midnight Auto Parts]].)<br />
