Butler, Director • Historical Statement Clemson University is named for Thomas Green Clemson (1807-1888), \vho left the bulk of lus estate to the State of South Carolina for the founding of the institution. Thomas Clemson v;as born in Philadelphia in 1807 and educated at the Royal School of Mmes in Paris (1828-1832). His early profession was that of a mining engineer; but circumstances di,·erted his interests into politics and the life of a Southern Planter, and he soon became an enthusiastic advocate of scientific agriculture. He had a career as a diplomat (charge d'affaires to Belgium, 1844-1852), and served as the first superintendent of agricultural affairs in Washington (1860). As a scientist he published numerous articles in the fields of mining, chemistry, and agriculture. His varied activities included his assistance in the founding of the Maryland Agricultural College, his support of the Morrill Act, his leadership in South Carolina after the Civil War, and his part in the founding of Clemson University. Tl1omas Clemson \Vas the son-in-la\v of South Carolina's John C. Calhoun, a political figure of national importance during the first half of the nineteenth century. Mr. Calhoun's home, Fort Hill, is preserved on the Clemson campus as a national shrine. The academic program at Clemson College began in 1893 with an en- rollment of 446. The first .. college prospectus" announced only two four- )?ear curricula, supplemented by two two-year preparatory courses Today Cle1nson University's enrollment is 5400 and the current catalog lists thirty-eight undergraduate and thirty-nine graduate curricula. The University has seven major academic units. These are the College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences; the School of Architecture; the College of Arts and Sciences; the School of Education; the College of Engineering; the School of Industrial Management and Textile Science; and the School of Graduate Study. The institution became an accredited member of the Southern Associa- tion of Colleges and Schools in 1927. The civil, electrical, ai1d mechanical engineering curricula we1 e accredited by the Engineers1 Council for Pro- (ess1onal Development in 1937. Curricula in agricultural, ceramic, and chemical engineering were accredited by ECPD in 1953, 1955, and 1959, respectively. The chemistry curriculum was first accredited by the American Chemi- cal Society in 1953 and the architectural curriculum by the National Archi- tectu1 al Accrediting Board in 1956. The forestry curriculum was accredited by the Society of American Foresters in 1962. Clemson is the Land-Grant University of South Carolina. As such the institution is engaged not only in its primary academic program, but does extensive research at the main campus and at six agricultural experiment stations located in the state. The University is also heavily committed to a varied program of public service, including the work of agricultural ex- tension which has professional personnel located in each of the state's counties.
