Biographical notes:

Philip Hunter Prince served as twelfth president of Clemson University, 1994-1995. With the resignation of Clemson President Max Lennon in February 1994 the Board of Trustees chose Prince to serve as Acting President. Prince served for eleven months and was named President by the Board on September 30, 1994. This short tenure witnessed major changes in the organization of the University with the number of colleges reduced from nine to four (eventually five) and the number of vice presidents from seven to four as well as the privatization of a number of auxiliary services such as the bookstore and laundry. The planning and implementation of this reorganization consumed Prince's attention and was not without some controversy. Once fully implemented, this organizational structure continued for the coming two decades, a singular achievement for this transitional presidency. Phil Prince was recognized for his leadership and lifelong commitment to Clemson with an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree from Clemson in May 1995.
