G. H. Aull papers, 1915-1986, (bulk 1932-1969)

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/221697175

There are two albums of photographs documenting Aull's years as a Clemson cadet, 1915-1919 as well as photographs related to his career, 1930-1969. There is one oversize volume documenting the Clemson Land Use Project, 1934-1954. G.H. Aull arranged most of his papers prior to their donation to the Libraries. There is correspondence to and from Aull that he partially organized by subject. He organized compilations of correspondence, letters to the editor and articles concerning issues that he expressed a public opinion about. The two scrapbooks cover the period when Aull attended Clemson as a cadet as well as his teaching at what became Georgia Southern University. The papers document Aull's career at Clemson College as a Clemson cadet and then member of the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology and researcher for the South Carolina Experiment Station. Aull spent much of his career examining issues of taxation, land use, land tenure, and economic development. He participated in many government and academic committees and boards including the South Carolina Tax Study Commission. There are reports co-authored by Aull, research studies and articles. Upon retirement from Clemson in 1963, he worked as a consultant for the South Carolina National Bank and edited a newsletter, "The Carolina Economist," for the bank. There is an incomplete run of the newsletter as well as correspondence related to it. Aull received and kept a wide variety of correspondence including many Clemson administrators and faculty, South Carolina political and business leaders including T. S. Buie, Robert C. Edwards, Milton Dyer Farrer, Wil Lou Gray, Robert F. Poole, Enoch M. Sikes, J. C. Littlejohn, Preston B. Holtzendorff, Joe Sherman, Burnett Maybank, J. Strom Thurmond, Edgar Brown, Earle Morris, Ernest Hollings, William Jennings Bryan Dorn, and Wilbur W. McEachern. The speeches are arranged according to general topic and thereafter by date and concern ethics public finance, religion, rural life, taxation, tariffs and trade. There are three maps documenting land acquisitions for the Clemson Forest; school tax delinquency in Anderson, Oconee, and Pickens County, 1932; and a proposed resettlement community. There are two recordings of two oral interviews with G. H. Aull; one with Susan Duffy in 1986 and another Bryan McKown in 1985 with a tape abstract of the Duffy interview and a transcript of the McKown interview. The photographs document Aull's career as well as the Clemson Land Use Project. An oversize scrapbook of primarily newspaper clippings documents the Clemson Land Use Project, 1934-1954.
