Athletic Council Records, 1929-1985, bulk 1955-1975.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26227467

The series contains the files of the Athletic Council of Clemson University. The files were kept by the chairmen of the Council; H.W. Barre, 1929-1934; Lee W. Milford, 1935-1946 and 1949-1953; R.R. Ritchie, 1947-1949 and 1954-1971; Kenneth Vickery, 1972-1982; and B.J. Skelton, 1982-1984. The series contains correspondence, memoranda, financial statements, audit reports, and publications. The files are arranged alphabetically by topic. The major part of the series relates to athletic eligibility and the concurrent issue of financial assistance to athletes. Rules concerning athletic eligibility were set forth by the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Atlantic Coast Conference as well as individual institutions. Each athlete was requested to complete an eligibility declaration which was then forwarded to the Commissioner of the ACC for approval. From these eligibility declarations, lists of participants in each sport, e.g. baseball, basketball, football, were then compiled. A large part of the series relates to the ACC and the membership of Clemson University. (Ritchie served as President of the ACC in 1958, 1964-1965, and 1970-1971.) Organized in Raleigh, North Carolina in June 1953, the ACC was founded "in view of the increasing problems intercollegiate athletics" by schools wanting a smaller playing conference. Formed from the Southern Conference, the ACC consisted of an alliance of colleges in Virginia, Maryland, and the Carolinas. Prominent correspondents include Robert James and James B. Weaver, Commissioners of the ACC. Also included in the series are records related to the Clemson Athletic Association and IPTAY. Prominent correspondents include Josh Cody, Frank Howard, Frank Jervey, Bill McClellan, and Robert C. Edwards.
