Huff graduates
with high honors
CLEMSON.—Glenn Huff of
Whitmire, a Clemson electrical
engineering student who never
made below an A in the class
room during three and one-half
years of university work, fig
ures it’s tougher at Clemson
today than when he began his
career here in the fall of >962.
Young Huff picked up his
diploma here Saturday after
noon, finishing with highest
honors and departmental hon
ors, and is a shoo-in for the
Faculty Scholarshio Award
made each year to the top
scholar. He entered Clemscn in
September 1962 as one of four
R. F. Poole Alumni scholars.
“In 1962, I was one of only
11 engineering students who be-
ban their college math with cal
culus and analytical geometry,”
he recalled. “Today, all engi
neering students begin with
calculus—or else take non-cred
it work leading to it.”
Huff’s beginning in calculus
and second semester English as
a result of high entrance ex
amination scores helped him to
finish Clemson in seven semes
ters, but it cost him a rare
perfect academic record.
“I was given the choice of
taking B's in first semester
freshman English and mathe
matics or attending those class
es. I took the B’s” he said.
Any regrets? Not really.
Glenn figures he couldn’t have
finished as rapidly as he did
otherwise. And besides, he
didn’t have any idea he’d be
making all A’s in his classes.
“Finishing early enables me
to get married early,” Huff al
so noted. “And it will save me
the cost of another semester
in school.”
The young Whitmire native
will marry high school sweet
heart Nita Baker of Whitmire,
a Senior at Furman, and go to
work with I.B.M. in Greenville
through the end of next sum
mer. At that time, he plans a
return to the classroom for
graduate studies.
How did he go about making
all A’s at Clemson?
“Once I got started, things
just fell in line for me. There
was a lot of luck involved.”
What impressed him most a-
bout Clemson during his time
here?
“The potential . . . the de
termination being shown to
keep the school progressing.
They seem to be jumping in
with both feet to accomplish
this. I’m proud to have a Clem
son diploma and found in rr.y
1 job interviews that a Clemson
degree commands much res
pect.”
