In 1928, Webb’s father, James Ansel Webb, graduated from Clemson, then married Webb’s mother and moved to Huntsville, Ala. In 1948, Webb enrolled in Clemson and graduated four years later with a mechanical engineering degree. After a year with the Tennessee Valley Authority in the power plant design department, Webb returned to Huntsville, where he began a 30-year career as a civil servant in the U.S. Department of Defense. An automotive enthusiast, Webb noticed that the maintenance of his vehicles kept getting more complex, requiring work by the dealer and independent shops with special test equipment and tools, proving very expensive. “I believe that individuals should be more independent and responsible for their needs. Vehicle know-how is one example,” says University Housing Webb. “One of my primary objectives is to allow vehicle owners to be able to repair more things themselves.” 200 Mell Hall With his named endowment, Webb wants to help establish concepts and programs that allow students to be an integral part of the Box 344075 creation and maintenance of automobiles.
