M. ELEAZER. Clemson College Extension Infor mation Specialist Why Clemson During the recent “Farmer’s Week” at Clemson I walked to Calhoun mansion with some friends. And the oft’ asked question came up. “Why was this school named Clemson and ! not Calhoun?” Years ago I wondered about that myself. Later I read history arid found out. John C. Calhoun had no more to do with founding this school than I did. and it was already here when I was born. Thomas G. Clemson was born in i Pennsylvania, educated in this coun-| try and abroad as a chemical and j mining engineer, married Calhoun’s; daughter in 1838, became very much interested in agricultural and indus- i trial education, and willed his plant ation and some money to South'Caro lina for the establishment of such a j school in the very early Nineties. The only connection Calhoun has with the establishment of Clemson was the fact that Clemson married his daughter a half century before Clemson, who had long been in pos session of the Calhoun home, donat ed it for the establishment of the school that bears his name. Clemson is indeed fortunate in that its campus embraces the plantation of its greatest statesman, and his old mansion is still perfectly preserved there. But the great John C. Calhoun knows nothing about the existence of Clemson College, unless he could have looked forward a half century from the time of his death and saw 1921-1949 Hugh L.
