Robert C. Edwards presidential records. Correspondence. 1960-1979, 1971-1975.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/23675589

The series may be divided into the following general categories: instructional programs and facilities development, relations with the state of South Carolina, and student affairs. Efforts to improve the quality of programs and instruction at Clemson may be found throughout the series in records from consultants and organizations such as Cresap, McCormick, and Paget; the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education; the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges; the Southeastern Library Network; and the Southern Regional Education Board. Files documenting improvements to the facilties include those on the Stadium, Lee Hall, and the Clemson House. Other buildings constructed were the Fike Recreation Center, Jervey Athletic Center, Rhodes Hall, and the Forest and Recreation Resources building. A number of files concern topics related to the State of South Carolina: the Atlantic Coastal Plains Regional Commission, the South Carolina Forestry Commission, and the Water Resources Research Institute. A small number of files document affairs of concern to students: student government, fraternities and sororities, censorship of publications, and campus unrest in 1971. Also are letters on various topics from students. The files of the Atlantic Coast Conference and the National Collegiate Athletic Association contain minutes, reports, bulletins, and rankings of schools in the conference. Much of the correspondence documents the decision of the University of South Carolina to leave the ACC and Clemson's decision to remain a member. Also included are files on financial aid awards and the method of awarding them, recruiting violations, and problems encountered in complying with civil rights legislation.
