Biographical History
Enoch Walter Sikes was born in Union County, N.C. on May 1, 1868. His education culminated with a Ph.D. in history, government and economics from Johns Hopkins University. Sikes began his faculty career at Wake Forest where he met his future wife, Ruth Wingate. By 1916, Sikes had become president of Coker College, a women's college in Hartsville, S.C. Knowing Sikes' reputation for administrative ability and public speaking, Clemson College's Board of Trustees asked Sikes to serve as the school's sixth president in 1925. He guided the college through the Depression, took measures to stop much of the student unrest and protests, and added many new buildings and programs, such as a liberal arts curriculum. He stepped down as president in 1940, and died January 8, 1941.
