Joe Sherman collection, 1957-1975.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/550640969

This collection consists of correspondence, press releases, and news clippings. Topics of note include: radio and advertising spots and costs; concerns expressed with the media seeking corrections and clarifications of printed stories; and suggestions by local media that Clemson provide occasional columns detailing agricultural research. Of particular note are letters regarding the admission of Harvey B. Gantt to Clemson in 1963. A bulk of the content includes communications with various local and national media organizations who sought to cover the event. In addition, there are some congratulatory letters that praise the way in which university officials handled the situation. Later materials (1968) consist of news clippings, which document a series of investigative reports carried out by "Charleston Post and Courier" regarding drug use on South Carolina college campuses.
