A. Max Lennon papers, 1939-1994, (bulk 1979-1993)

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/85034585

This series includes significant documentation about the activities of the senior administrators of Clemson University and its Board of Trustees. Subjects within the series include the University's institutional advancement efforts, civil rights compliance, the University's building program, the administration of the Athletic Dept., and the reorganization of the University. There are records about Dr. Lennon's professional activities such as EARTH (the Agricultural College of the Humid Tropical Region in Costa Rica). Frequent correspondents include Board of Trustee members William Amick, Louis Batson, Paul McAllister and Buck Mickel; Provosts, David Maxwell and J. Charles Jennett; Legal Counsel, Ben Anderson; Vice Presidents for Development Donald Elam and Gary Ransdell, Vice Presidents for Business and Finance, Melvin Barnett and David Larson; Vice Presidents for Administration Allen Rigsby and Hugh Clausen. There is correspondence from deans and directors which vary in quantity but encompass the scope of the entire University and its programs throughout the state. During Lennon's presidency, many earlier records were transferred from the President's Office to the University Records Center and for this reason, the series inclusive dates span from 1939-1994. Among the older records are many related to land, legal and scholarship matters. The bulk of the records date from the late 1970s through the early 1990s with an effort made to not include any material from Lennon's successors.
