CLEMSON COLLEGE, SOUTH CAROLINA1912

LOCATION

The College is located on the old Fort Hill homestead of John C. Calhoun, on the dividing line be-

tween ( )conee and Pickens Counties, in the picturesque foothills of the Blue Ridge. It has an elevation of

Sou feet above sea level, and commands an excellent view of the mountains to the north and west, some of

which attain an altitude of nearly five thousand feet. The climate is invigorating and healthful, and the

'

surroundings are in every way favorable to the highest physical, moral, and mental development.

The College is one mile from Calhoun, a station on the main line of the Southern Railway, and two

miles from Cherrvs, on the Blue Ridge Railroad. By means of these roads and their connections the Col-

lege is easily accessible from all parts of the State. It is connected by telegraph and long distance telephone

with all parts of the country. The post office is conveniently situated on the campus, an 1 receives five daily

mails.

HISTORICAL SKETCH; Thomas .G. Clemson, after whom the College is named, was horn in Philadelphia in April, 1807, an 1

died at the Fort Hill home April 6, 1888.

- hi 1823, then scarcely 16 years old, he ran away from home, and after spending some time in Eng-

., i^i w^nt to Paris, where he took up arms in the revolutions of that time. His gallantry brought him

recognition* and the friendship of prominent men, resulting in his being given a course in the celebrated

School of Mines in Paris. In this school he remaine i for four years, graduating with high honors.

While he was in Europe, his father died, leaving nothing to him in his will. Soon after this, he re-

turned to America and, establishing himself in Washington, practiced his profession of Mining Engineer, and

accumulated a comfortable fortune. It was here that he met Miss Anna Marie, the eldest daughter of John

C. Calhoun, and married her. Two children resulted from this union—a daughter, Floride, who after-

wards became Mrs. Gideon Lee of New York, and a son, John Calhoun Clemson.

Mr. Clemson was a strong advocate of the political doctrine of Mr. Calhoun, ami when the war broke

out, fearing arrest, he and his son escaped by night in a boat, and walking to Richmond, offered their ser-

vices to President Davis. Mr. Clemson was assigned to the Trans-Mississippi Nitre Mining Department,

where he served until the end of the war. His son was appointed a lieutenant and assigned to active duty.

At the end of the war, Mr. Clemson with his family came to Pendleton ami resided with Mrs. John I.

Calhoun until her death in 1866.

In 187 1, Mr. Clemson's daughter, then Mrs. Lee, died, and seventeen days after, his only son, John

Calhoun Clemson, was killed in a railroad accident at Seneca.

In 1875 Mrs. Clemson died, and on April 6, 1888, Mr. Clemson followed her to the grave, and was

buried in the Episcopal churchyard at Pendleton.

He left an estate of 836 acres, and $58,000 to found an Agricultural and Mechanical College at the

old homestead of his father-in-law, John C. Calhoun.

THE BUILDING OF THE COLLEGEIn November, [889, the General Assembly of South Carolina passed the necessary acts authorizing

the acceptance of the terms of Mr. Clemson's will for the establishment of the College.

During a life of nearly twenty-two years, the Legislature of South Carolina has contributed by appro-

priation to the College, only $95,000. Not a dollar has been appropriated during the past seventeen years.

'The sale of property, etc., in Columbia brought $25,782.27, and the fertilizer tax to July 1st. 1911, yielded

S_\i< (3,442.^5, making a total from the State of $2,314,225.22.

Deducting from these receipts the value of the property accumulated, which amounts to $1,033,432.30,

not including any donations by Thos. G. Clemson, and deducting the cost of the State work paid for by the

College out of its current funds, amounting to $478,370.59 and there remained as a contribution from the

State to educate the 9,961 students enrolled in the twenty-two years, $802,422.33, or $80.56 per student, a

figure that for economy, no State in the Union can match in the line of technical education.

The estate has been increased by land purchases to nearly 1,500 acres.

To begin in the woods and build a city and a College, now valued at nearly a million dollars, was a

task that has confronted the Trustees during the past twenty-two years. The value of the College prop-

erty is over a million and a quarter dollars. The extent of its lands nearly 1,500 acres. Its present enroll-

ment is over <S;)3, and its faculty and officers number nearly 100.

Clemson College is unique in that it is founded upon a covenant with the people. Back in the

eighties, when the advocates of agricultural education were seeking to establish an agricultural college, they

promised that if the farmers would give the privilege tax, they would undertake not only to protect them

against fraudulent fertilizers by an efficient system of inspection and analysis, but would erect and main-

tain an industrial college to educate, without additional taxation, the youth of South Carolina. This prom-

ise has been well kept by the Trustees of this College.

THE ELECTRICAL LABORATORIES

The Division of Electrical Engineering occupies two single story brick buildings, heated by steam, and

lighted by electricity. The laboratory in the background is built without iron or steel in its permanent con-

struction, and is used for calibration and fine magnetic work. In this laboratory, the Junior Electrical En-

gineering students are taught the principles upon which the science of Electrical Engineering is based.

The Senior Electrical Laboratory is fully equipped with dynamo electric machinery, and in this

laboratory the Senior Class is taught the practical applications of the science.

THE PUMPING STATION

The College receives its water supply from two pumping stations situated at opposite ends of the

College grounds. One of the^e pumping stations is driven by a direct current motor, and the other by a 2.300

volt alternating current motor, both receiving power from the new power station. Both of these stations have

a duplicate steam pumping equipment, and the aggregate capacity of both stations is 1,200 gallons per min-

ute. These stations discharge direct into the mains, near the center of which is located a standpipe, with a

capacity of 132,000 gallons.

LiN;>

THE NEW CENTRAL POWER AND HEATING PLANTThis plant contains two 150 H. P. Stirling water-tube boilers, and two 100 H. P. Lombard return

tubular boilers, with the necessary pumps, feed water heaters, and other auxiliary apparatus.

The power equipment consists of one 114 H. P. Fleming side-crank engine, direct connected to a 70

K. W. 2,300 volt, three-phase alternator with direct connected exciter, and one 122 H. P. Fleming four-valve

engine direct connected to a three-wire 75 K. W. direct current generator.

A 75 K. W. rotary converter is used to convert from one kind of service to another.

The switchboard equipment consists of three standard blue Vermont panels, and three black enameled

slate panels, all equipped with the latest and best electrical instruments and appliances. The alternator is

connected to the rotary converter through three 25 K. W. transformers. All the machinery is of the General

Electric Company's make.

The building is 40 by 80 feet, is a single story of brick and cement blocks, with metal roof. It was

completed in August. 1907, at a cost of $25,000, and is in every way modern and up-to-date. It furnishes

steam heat for the I>arracks, Engineering and other College buildings, and electric lights and power to every

department of the College and the residences of the community. Two pumping stations, situated about one-

half mile distant, are electrically operated from this plant. These pumping stations have both steam and

electric pumps and an aggregate capacity of 1,200 gallons per minute.

TEXTILE DEPARTMENTThis department is housed in a brick structure of cotton mill design, 1(18x75 feet.

The value of the building is $25,000, and of the equipment, $50,000.

The first floor is occupied by the picking, carding and spinning machinery, a lecture room, the main

office, an exhibit room and the departmental library.

The second door is occupied by the warping and beaming machinery, hand and power looms, or-

ganic chemistry laboratory, three lecture rooms and an office.

The basement, which is situated under the right-hand half of the building, is occupied by the technical

laboratory and the dye-house.

The course in Textile Industry is designed to give young men a thorough training in the various lines

of cotton manufacturing, especially in those new processes upon which the South will have to depend in order

to make cotton manufacturing profitable.

THE TEXTILE SCHOOL

CHEMICAL DEPARTMENTThe department of Chemistry occupies two buildings, each containing" two stories and a basement.

This department is devoted to instruction in Chemistry, and in making the analyses in connection with the

State Fertilizer Work. The buildings are valued at $40,000, and the equipment at $17,500.

To the extreme right is seen the office of the Fertilizer Department.

For this work the State is divided into fourteen districts, and inspectors are appointed for each of

these districts to select samples of fertilizers and send them in for analysis. These samples are received by

the Inspector Department, numbered and sent to the Chemical Department for analysis. The results of the

analyses are published in weekly bulletins, so that farmers may be protected against those companies who

fail to meet their guarantees. Last season, nearly 1,600 samples were analyzed.

THE CHEMICAL LABORATORIES AND TO THE RIC.HT THE OFFICE OF FERTILIZER INSPECTION DEPARTMENT

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENTThe Agricultural Hall is a brick building 146x94 feet, built in colonial style of red brick, with lime-

stone columns and trimmings. This building cost $55,000, and contains approximately $10,000 worth of

equipment. In this building are taught the subjects of Agronomy, Botany, Soil Physics, and Entomology.

Horticulture, Animal Husbandry and Dairying are taught in the new Dairy Building.

This building contains also the Gymnasium and the Museum, with equipments aggregating about

$3,50°-

The offices and Laboratories of the Experiment Station are also located in this building.

A great deal of the equipment of the Agricultural Department is located elsewhere, in the Veterinary

Hospital, the Greenhouse, the Dairy and Mule Barns, new Dairy Building, etc.

The subjects of Animal Husbandry and Dairying are to be given special importance in the future.

The Dairy Building, just completed, cost over $20,000, and represents the very best methods and construc-

tion to be found anywhere in this country. The College maintains a herd of about 100 milch cows, a beef

feeding station, and an up-to-date piggery. At another site is a large Dairy Barn which cost $21,000, and

in connection with this Barn, all other forms of Animal Industry will in time be developed.

In this department is given the courses of Agriculture, Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, Agricul-

ture and Chemistry, the one year Agricultural course for young farmers 18 years old and older, and the

four weeks' winter course in January for farmers.

THE HORTICULTURAL DIVISION

The Horticultural grounds embrace an area of thirty acres. Eight acres are devoted to experiments

in apples; six to peaches; two to grapes; two to pecans; one to plums; and seven to small fruits and vege-

tables. About three acres are occupied by ornamental trees, shrubs and flowers.

The Greenhouse, 21x140 feet, is used for class instruction in ornamental Horticulture, and also for

teaching and for experimental work.

Many agricultural colleges are such in name only, the larger part of the student body pursuing

courses other than agricultural. Clemson was founded as an Agricultural and Mechanical College, and the

following data attest to a full realization of the purpose of its founders. Three hundred and sixty-nine

(369) of the students enrolled this session are in the agricultural courses and three hundred and fifty-four

(354) in all the other courses. (In addition, there were 88 in the Preparatory Class. ) Of the graduating

class, 52 are in the agricultural courses and 42 in all the other courses combined. These figures need no ex-

planatory comment. For all forms of agricultural work and equipment, the college is spending this fiscal

year over $174000, not including about $33,000 from the Federal government that can be used by the Ex-

periment Station only for specified lines of agricultural research.

The Experiment Station Greenhouse cost nearly $7,000, and is devoted to pot experiments, and the

growing of the various plants under artificial conditions. The central portion of this house is devoted to the

housing of potted shrubs and plants used for ornamental and decorative purposes.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA EXPERIMENT STATION

The South Carolina Experiment Station is the agricultural research departmenl of Clemson College.

It is combined with the agricultural department, bul is supported almost entirely l>v the Federal funds

known as the Hatch Fund and the Adams Fund. The Hatch act was approved by Congress March 2, [887,

and the Adams act was approved March 16, 1906. These funds aim unit to $30,000 annually.

Under the provisions of these acts the work of the Station is restricted to the prosecution of work in

investigating scientific problems having a direct bearing on agriculture. The offices and laboratories of the

Experiment Station occupy the second floor of the Agricultural Building. For the proper conduct of the

work, the Station is provided with five well equipped laboratories, a large greenhouse, dairy barn, seed

houses, storage barns, a splendid herd of dairy cattle and Berkshire hogs and ample land for field and horti-

cultural experiments. The value of the Station equipment amounts to $40,000.

The present organization of the Station staff consists of a Director and Agriculturist, Horticulturist,

Botanist and Plant Pathologist, Entomologist and Zoologist, Chemist, Animal Husbandman, Consulting Vet-

erinarian, Secretary and Librarian, and several assistants.

The activities of the Station are along the following principal lines: Botany, Entomology, Bacteriol-

ogy, Chemistry, Soil Improvement, Diseases of Plants and Animals, Feeding Experiments, Plant Breeding,

Forestry Experiments, Rotation of Crops, Fertilizer Experiments, Horticultural Experiments, Soil Physics,

Pot Experiments, Orchard and Vineyard Experiments, Farm Management and Co-operative Experimental

Work with a great number of farmers.

The Station has published 165 bulletins and 24 annual reports, and these are sent free on request to

all residents of South Carolina who are engaged in farming. There are now about 17,000 names on the mail-

ing list. The officers of the Station are constantly receiving letters from fanners seeking advice and infor-

mation along the lines of agriculture, horticulture and animal husbandry. These letters amount to manythousands every year.

THE COAST EXPERIMENT STATION

In [902, the Board of Trustees of Clemson College provided funds for the purpose of conducting ex-

periments with forage crops and grasses in the coastal region. These experiments were located on the old

Charleston exposition grounds. While these experiments were valuable, they were not conducted on a

sufficiently broad scale to be of much practical value. Through the influence of the Agricultural Committee

of Charleston, the Southern Railway donated to the College 300 acres of land near Summerville, S. C, to be

used for experimental purposes. The Office of Experiment Stations of the U. S. Department of Agriculture

made a careful survey of the lands and planned the system of drainage. In the spring of 1908 work was

begun in clearing the land of stumps and in laying the tile drains. The College has since built a substantial

wire fence around the 300 acres, has cleared 150 acres of stumps and thoroughly tile-drained about 100

acres.

A two-story residence has been built for the superintendent. A large barn has been constructed with

suitable out-houses. An artesian well has been bored that supplies an abundance of pure water. Three crops

have been harvested, the yields of which were abundant and give promise of future development. Without

drainage this land is practically non-productive, the water coming within six inches of the surface.

Experiments have been inaugurated along the following lines : Forestry, rotation of crops, fertilizer

experiments, experiments with trucking crops, orchard experiments, drainage experiments, experiments with

forage crops and grasses, hog and cattle feeding experiments, and farm management. The place has been

beautified according to plans made out by expert landscape gardeners.

The experiments of this Station will be of untold value to the farmers of the coastal region, not only

of this but of all the Gulf States.

The equipment of this Station is valued at about $20,000.

The College has just bought for a branch station in the Pee Dee section of the State 200 acres of

land, just outside the city of Florence. The College paid $20,000 for the property, which will be developed

just as rapidly as the funds of the College will permit.

When the Pee Dee station is completed, a third and last branch station will be located somewhere

in the sandhill section of the State.

THE PUBLIC SERVICE

Large as is its educational work, the College is engaged in public service, the magnitude of which the

people are slow to understand. For last year ending June 30, 10,12, the public service cost the College over

$t 00,000.

A large amount of the public work is carried on through the Division of Extension Work and Farm-

ers' Institutes. The activities of this Division include Farmers' Institutes, Demonstration Trains, Rural

School Work, Animal Industry Work, Correspondence Instruction, Weekly Press Bulletins and Popular

Bulletins on subjects of general interest. The expenditure for this division for the present fiscal year

amounts to about $12,000.

During the past year the College has entered into partnership with the U. S. Department of Agricul-

ture for conducting the Farmers' Co-operative Demonstration work in South Carolina. To this particular

interest the College will contribute annually $10,000.

CADET BARRACKSThe cadets live in barracks under military government. They are arranged by companies, as far as

possible, one company to a hall. A limited amount of choice as to room-mates is allowed within the restric-

tions of the company personnel. Only two cadets to the room are allowed.

Cadets answer to morning roll call at about 0:30, and are required to retire by 11 p. m. The present

capacity of the three barracks is 750.

To the rear of each dormitory is a toilet and bath building, connected to the corresponding floor of

the main building by an open iron gangway.

Barracks No. 1 contains 135 rooms. It was built in 1893, and at the opening of College, housed over

6oo students.

Another story was added during the summer of 191 1, which contains 50 additional rooms, the V. M.

C. A. Assembly Hall, and the office and room of the Y. M. C. A. Secretary.

The dining iiall and kitchen run back as a center ell t 1 this barracks. The dining hall can seat 8oo

students.

Barracks No. 2 was built in 1902, the piazzas added during the summer of 191 1. It contains 0:1 the

upper three floors 79 rooms. On the bottom floor are the commissary, ordinance, trunk and laundry deliv-

ery rooms.

Barracks No. 3 was completed in the fall of 1907, at a cost of approximately $50,000.

It fronts the old Calhoun home. The four-column construction is designed to harmonize with that

historic relic. This building contain 111 room-. In the sub-basement are located the plumbing and pipe

fitting shops.

.VII of the dormitories are heated by steam and lighted by electricity.

STUDENT LIFE

( )nl) two students occupy a room. The general arrangement is by companies. When^rtfl^ssJttWieo^-,-,.

student is allowed to choose his room-mate from among the members of his company.

Under military regulations, very little except actual necessities in the way of furnishing is permitted.

No trunks or boxes are allowed. These are kept in the basement of Barracks No. 2, and cadets have access

to them only at stated times.

SUBSISTENCE

The dining hall, or mess-hall, as it is called in military parlance, is capable of seating 800 students.

The charge for table board is $8.00 per month. The fare is simple but wholesome. The tables are served by

27 cadet waiters, who are paid a small sum monthly for this work.

A daily report is made by the Steward to the President of the College, showing the exact amount of

every article which has entered into the service for the day, and the cost for each day.

Each company is commanded by a Captain, two Lieutenants, one First Sergeant, four Sergeants and six

Corporals. Each battalion is commanded by an Adjutant and Sergeant Major.

I he purpose of the military system is not to make soldiers, but to give elementary military instruction,

develop good physical bearing, and principally to maintain order an 1 quiet in the Barracks during study

hours.

THE STATE FAIR ENCAMPMENTIf a .sufficient number petition for it, the cadets are allowed to have a week's encampment in Colum-

bia during the State Fair. Although the cost involved is small, no student is required to take this trip. The

cadets are transported on a special train, and their camp made on the athletic field of the State Fair groun Is.

While this encampment causes some loss of time from study, still the educational features of the Fair, to-

gether with the experience in military life, is consideied sufficient compensation to warrant the trip.

The only necessary cost is the railroad fare, since the College boards the cadets in camp free of extra

charge, and free admission to the grounds is always given by the Fair Association.

CLASS INSTRUCTION

For purposes of instruction, the classes are divided up into rather small sections, so that the work may

he done thoroughly. Each student has approximately thirty hours of work per week, fifteen theoretical

hours and fifteen shop or laboratory hours. No regular classes are scheduled on Saturday, the forenoon of

this day being devoted to opportunity for making up work missed during the regular class periods of the week.

THE COST OF AN EDUCATION AT CLEMSONClemson College does not charge students laboratory fees, as is done in most institutions. That is one

of the reasons why the cost to the parent for educating a sou at Clemson is as low as it is. The following

fixed charges represent all that is necessary for a student to pay into the College Treasury during the ses-

sion of nine months:

RELIGIOUS LIFE OF THE STUDENTSThe Board of Trustees contributes £2,500 annually to pay a portion of the salary of the ministers

of the Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist and Presbyterian denominations. These ministers conduct the morn-

ing chapel services during the week, and alternately preach in the College chapel on Sundays. In addition

to this, S500.00 is paid on the salary of the Secretary of the V. M. C. A., who lives in barracks, and

works within the student body.

The Young Men's Christian Association is a voluntary organization, whose membership is nut con-

fined to any particular denomination, or even to church members. Any one seeking to lead a clean life is

welcomed.

The Y. M. C. A. holds regular meetings every Sunday evening in the Y. M. C. A. ball, and special

meetings during- the week.

1 he Bible Class Study Classes are an important part of the work of the Association. The Bible

classes are conducted every Sunday night in the rooms of the student leaders. The enrollment in this

class readies nearly one-half of the total student enrollment.

The Y. M. C. A. takes an active interest in all social and athletic, as well as religious work.

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS

The Chronicle is a monthly literary magazine published jointly by the three literary societies. This

publication contains contributions from the students, in the form of essays, poems and short stories. The

subscription price is $1.00 per year.

The Tiger is a weekly publication devoted almost exclusively to athletics and local College news. The

profits of this paper are given to "The Annual." The subscription price to The Tiger is $1.00 per session.

The annual publication of the Senior Class is "Taps"—a large, handsomely hound book containing

sketches, pictures and incidents of College life. The price of the volume is $2.50.

LITERARY SOCIETIES

The three Societies—the Calhoun, the Columbian and the Palmetto—occupy elegantly furnished

halls in the main College building. They are maintained entirely by the students.

Each Society holds an annual celebration, at which medals are awarded to the best orator, the best

debater and the best declaimer. The successful orators from the three societies compete for the honor of

representing the College at the annual contest of the South Carolina Intercollegiate Oratorical Association.

A member from each society competes on Monday of Commencement for the Trustee Medal.

MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONSThe musical organizations of the College are the Hand, the Orchestra, and the Glee Club. All of

these are voluntary organizations, although the members of the Band are excused from military duty in

lieu of the time given to practice. The Cadet Band is composed of from fifteen to twenty members, and

furnishes music for all military formations and athletic games, etc. The Orchestra, composed of ten mem-

ber , furnishes music at the dances, society contests. Commencement and other special occasions in chapel.

ATHLETICS

Jt is the policy of the College to sanction and encourage athletics, so long as it is conducted on a high

plane of gentility and sportsmanship, and does not interfere with studies and other duties. Football, base-

hall, track, basketball, and tennis are the most popular sports. The College authorities presume that par-

ents are willing for their sons to participate in these games unless the President is definitely notified to the

contrary.

The athletic teams are permitted to take a limited number of trips each season to play intercollegiate

games. These games are thought to he well worth while because of the college spirit which they incite, and

the close touch in which they bring Clemson College with other similar institutions.

Clemson is a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association ( S. I. A. A. ) and of the

South Carolina Intercollegiate Athletic Association (S. C. I. A. A.).

The faculty imposes very stringent rules upon students who desire to take part in intercollegiate

athletics.

Any student who fails on more than two subjects during a collegiate month is not allowed to partici-

pate in match games during the succeeding month.

Any student who is deficient in more than one subject for a term is not allowed to participate in
