OFFICIAL PROGRAM • THiRTY-FIVE CENTS CLEMSON VIRGINIA TECH CLEMSON MEMORIAL STADIUM LIFT SLAB GOES TO COLLEGE TO BUILD FOR TEXTILE EDUCATION ARCHITECTS: LYLES. BISSETT. CARLISLE a WOLFF A 520,000 square foot Student Dormitory built in record time at Clemson College, in South Carolina, is another part of the South's continuing program of building education and research facilities. This revolution in building utilized the slabs for floors of the dormitory after lifting them to their appointed height. No framework of steel was needed — time and money were saved from the start. But more than a revolutionary building is underway at Clemson — a growing center of textile education is making it more attractive than ever for firms in any branch of the textile industry to select the South for their home for profits both today and tomorrow.
