LOCATION
The College is located on the old Fort Hill homestead of John C. Calhoun, on the dividing line be-
tween ( )conee and Pickens Counties, in the picturesque foothills of the Blue Ridge. It has an elevation of
Sou feet above sea level, and commands an excellent view of the mountains to the north and west, some of
which attain an altitude of nearly five thousand feet. The climate is invigorating and healthful, and the
'
surroundings are in every way favorable to the highest physical, moral, and mental development.
The College is one mile from Calhoun, a station on the main line of the Southern Railway, and two
miles from Cherrvs, on the Blue Ridge Railroad. By means of these roads and their connections the Col-
lege is easily accessible from all parts of the State. It is connected by telegraph and long distance telephone
with all parts of the country. The post office is conveniently situated on the campus, an 1 receives five daily
mails.
HISTORICAL SKETCH; Thomas .G. Clemson, after whom the College is named, was horn in Philadelphia in April, 1807, an 1
died at the Fort Hill home April 6, 1888.
- hi 1823, then scarcely 16 years old, he ran away from home, and after spending some time in Eng-
., i^i w^nt to Paris, where he took up arms in the revolutions of that time. His gallantry brought him
recognition* and the friendship of prominent men, resulting in his being given a course in the celebrated
School of Mines in Paris. In this school he remaine i for four years, graduating with high honors.
While he was in Europe, his father died, leaving nothing to him in his will. Soon after this, he re-
turned to America and, establishing himself in Washington, practiced his profession of Mining Engineer, and
accumulated a comfortable fortune. It was here that he met Miss Anna Marie, the eldest daughter of John
C. Calhoun, and married her. Two children resulted from this union—a daughter, Floride, who after-
wards became Mrs. Gideon Lee of New York, and a son, John Calhoun Clemson.
Mr. Clemson was a strong advocate of the political doctrine of Mr. Calhoun, ami when the war broke
out, fearing arrest, he and his son escaped by night in a boat, and walking to Richmond, offered their ser-
vices to President Davis. Mr. Clemson was assigned to the Trans-Mississippi Nitre Mining Department,
where he served until the end of the war. His son was appointed a lieutenant and assigned to active duty.
At the end of the war, Mr. Clemson with his family came to Pendleton ami resided with Mrs. John I.
Calhoun until her death in 1866.
In 187 1, Mr. Clemson's daughter, then Mrs. Lee, died, and seventeen days after, his only son, John
Calhoun Clemson, was killed in a railroad accident at Seneca.
In 1875 Mrs. Clemson died, and on April 6, 1888, Mr. Clemson followed her to the grave, and was
buried in the Episcopal churchyard at Pendleton.
He left an estate of 836 acres, and $58,000 to found an Agricultural and Mechanical College at the
old homestead of his father-in-law, John C. Calhoun.
THE BUILDING OF THE COLLEGEIn November, [889, the General Assembly of South Carolina passed the necessary acts authorizing
the acceptance of the terms of Mr. Clemson's will for the establishment of the College.
During a life of nearly twenty-two years, the Legislature of South Carolina has contributed by appro-
priation to the College, only $95,000. Not a dollar has been appropriated during the past seventeen years.
'The sale of property, etc., in Columbia brought $25,782.27, and the fertilizer tax to July 1st. 1911, yielded
S_\i< (3,442.^5, making a total from the State of $2,314,225.22.
Deducting from these receipts the value of the property accumulated, which amounts to $1,033,432.30,
not including any donations by Thos. G. Clemson, and deducting the cost of the State work paid for by the
College out of its current funds, amounting to $478,370.59 and there remained as a contribution from the
State to educate the 9,961 students enrolled in the twenty-two years, $802,422.33, or $80.56 per student, a
figure that for economy, no State in the Union can match in the line of technical education.
The estate has been increased by land purchases to nearly 1,500 acres.
To begin in the woods and build a city and a College, now valued at nearly a million dollars, was a
task that has confronted the Trustees during the past twenty-two years. The value of the College prop-
erty is over a million and a quarter dollars. The extent of its lands nearly 1,500 acres. Its present enroll-
ment is over <S;)3, and its faculty and officers number nearly 100.
Clemson College is unique in that it is founded upon a covenant with the people. Back in the
eighties, when the advocates of agricultural education were seeking to establish an agricultural college, they
promised that if the farmers would give the privilege tax, they would undertake not only to protect them
against fraudulent fertilizers by an efficient system of inspection and analysis, but would erect and main-
tain an industrial college to educate, without additional taxation, the youth of South Carolina. This prom-
ise has been well kept by the Trustees of this College.
THE MAIN BUILDING
The main building is a three-story brick structure, 130x149 feet, trimmed with gray sandstone. It
contains 24 rooms, including recitation rooms for the Academic Department, Library, Reading Room, Lit-
erary Society Halls and Physical Laboratory,—also offices of the President, the Commandant, and the
Treasurer.
Adjoining this building is the Memorial Hall or College Chapel, with a seating capacity of about
i.odo. It is used for religious services and as an assembly room. In the tower of this building is a $1,200
Seth-Thomas clock by which the class hours are regulated.
The building is provided with steam heating and electric lights. It was completed in July, 1893, at a
cost of $83,000. On the night of May 22, 1894, the main College building was burned, but the regular work
continued, and the building was promptly rebuilt.
ENGINEERING BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT
The engineering building is of brick, and contains 35,000 square feet of floor space, and is valued at
approximately $40,000. On the ground floor are the Steam Engineering Laboratory, Machine Shop, Wood
Shops, Forge Shop and Foundry. On the second floor are the offices and the rooms of the Drawing and
Designing Division. The third floor is devoted to class rooms and to the Division of Civil Engineering.
In this department are given the courses of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering,
Architectural Engineering, and a large part of the course of Textile Engineering. All students, regardless
of the course they pursue, take Drawing, Wood Work and Forge Work.
The equipment of this department is valued at $55,000, and is one of the most complete and up-to-
date in the South.
i.»
THE ELECTRICAL LABORATORIES
The Division of Electrical Engineering occupies two single story brick buildings, heated by steam, and
lighted by electricity. The laboratory in the background is built without iron or steel in its permanent con-
struction, and is used for calibration and fine magnetic work. In this laboratory, the Junior Electrical En-
gineering students are taught the principles upon which the science of Electrical Engineering is based.
The Senior Electrical Laboratory is fully equipped with dynamo electric machinery, and in this
laboratory the Senior Class is taught the practical applications of the science.
THE PUMPING STATION
The College receives its water supply from two pumping stations situated at opposite ends of the
College grounds. One of the^e pumping stations is driven by a direct current motor, and the other by a 2.300
volt alternating current motor, both receiving power from the new power station. Both of these stations have
a duplicate steam pumping equipment, and the aggregate capacity of both stations is 1,200 gallons per min-
ute. These stations discharge direct into the mains, near the center of which is located a standpipe, with a
capacity of 132,000 gallons.
THE NEW CENTRAL POWER AND HEATING PLANTThis plant contains two 150 H. P. Stirling water-tube boilers, and two 100 H. P. Lombard return
tubular boilers, with the necessary pumps, feed water heaters, and other auxiliary apparatus.
The power equipment consists of one 114 H. P. Fleming side-crank engine, direct connected to a 70
K. W. 2,300 volt, three-phase alternator with direct connected exciter, and one 122 H. P. Fleming four-valve
engine direct connected to a three-wire 75 K. W. direct current generator.
A 75 K. W. rotary converter is used to convert from one kind of service to another.
The switchboard equipment consists of three standard blue Vermont panels, and three black enameled
slate panels, all equipped with the latest and best electrical instruments and appliances. The alternator is
connected to the rotary converter through three 25 K. W. transformers. All the machinery is of the General
Electric Company's make.
The building is 40 by 80 feet, is a single story of brick and cement blocks, with metal roof. It was
completed in August. 1907, at a cost of $25,000, and is in every way modern and up-to-date. It furnishes
steam heat for the I>arracks, Engineering and other College buildings, and electric lights and power to every
department of the College and the residences of the community. Two pumping stations, situated about one-
half mile distant, are electrically operated from this plant. These pumping stations have both steam and
electric pumps and an aggregate capacity of 1,200 gallons per minute.
TEXTILE DEPARTMENTThis department is housed in a brick structure of cotton mill design, 1(18x75 feet.
The value of the building is $25,000, and of the equipment, $50,000.
The first floor is occupied by the picking, carding and spinning machinery, a lecture room, the main
office, an exhibit room and the departmental library.
The second door is occupied by the warping and beaming machinery, hand and power looms, or-
ganic chemistry laboratory, three lecture rooms and an office.
The basement, which is situated under the right-hand half of the building, is occupied by the technical
laboratory and the dye-house.
The course in Textile Industry is designed to give young men a thorough training in the various lines
of cotton manufacturing, especially in those new processes upon which the South will have to depend in order
to make cotton manufacturing profitable.
CHEMICAL DEPARTMENTThe department of Chemistry occupies two buildings, each containing" two stories and a basement.
This department is devoted to instruction in Chemistry, and in making the analyses in connection with the
State Fertilizer Work. The buildings are valued at $40,000, and the equipment at $17,500.
To the extreme right is seen the office of the Fertilizer Department.
For this work the State is divided into fourteen districts, and inspectors are appointed for each of
these districts to select samples of fertilizers and send them in for analysis. These samples are received by
the Inspector Department, numbered and sent to the Chemical Department for analysis. The results of the
analyses are published in weekly bulletins, so that farmers may be protected against those companies who
fail to meet their guarantees. Last season, nearly 1,600 samples were analyzed.
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENTThe Agricultural Hall is a brick building 146x94 feet, built in colonial style of red brick, with lime-
stone columns and trimmings. This building cost $55,000, and contains approximately $10,000 worth of
equipment. In this building are taught the subjects of Agronomy, Botany, Soil Physics, and Entomology.
Horticulture, Animal Husbandry and Dairying are taught in the new Dairy Building.
This building contains also the Gymnasium and the Museum, with equipments aggregating about
$3,50°-
The offices and Laboratories of the Experiment Station are also located in this building.
A great deal of the equipment of the Agricultural Department is located elsewhere, in the Veterinary
Hospital, the Greenhouse, the Dairy and Mule Barns, new Dairy Building, etc.
The subjects of Animal Husbandry and Dairying are to be given special importance in the future.
The Dairy Building, just completed, cost over $20,000, and represents the very best methods and construc-
tion to be found anywhere in this country. The College maintains a herd of about 100 milch cows, a beef
feeding station, and an up-to-date piggery. At another site is a large Dairy Barn which cost $21,000, and
in connection with this Barn, all other forms of Animal Industry will in time be developed.
In this department is given the courses of Agriculture, Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, Agricul-
ture and Chemistry, the one year Agricultural course for young farmers 18 years old and older, and the
four weeks' winter course in January for farmers.
THE HORTICULTURAL DIVISION
The Horticultural grounds embrace an area of thirty acres. Eight acres are devoted to experiments
in apples; six to peaches; two to grapes; two to pecans; one to plums; and seven to small fruits and vege-
tables. About three acres are occupied by ornamental trees, shrubs and flowers.
The Greenhouse, 21x140 feet, is used for class instruction in ornamental Horticulture, and also for
teaching and for experimental work.
Many agricultural colleges are such in name only, the larger part of the student body pursuing
courses other than agricultural. Clemson was founded as an Agricultural and Mechanical College, and the
following data attest to a full realization of the purpose of its founders. Three hundred and sixty-nine
(369) of the students enrolled this session are in the agricultural courses and three hundred and fifty-four
(354) in all the other courses. (In addition, there were 88 in the Preparatory Class. ) Of the graduating
class, 52 are in the agricultural courses and 42 in all the other courses combined. These figures need no ex-
planatory comment. For all forms of agricultural work and equipment, the college is spending this fiscal
year over $174000, not including about $33,000 from the Federal government that can be used by the Ex-
periment Station only for specified lines of agricultural research.
The Experiment Station Greenhouse cost nearly $7,000, and is devoted to pot experiments, and the
growing of the various plants under artificial conditions. The central portion of this house is devoted to the
housing of potted shrubs and plants used for ornamental and decorative purposes.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA EXPERIMENT STATION
The South Carolina Experiment Station is the agricultural research departmenl of Clemson College.
It is combined with the agricultural department, bul is supported almost entirely l>v the Federal funds
known as the Hatch Fund and the Adams Fund. The Hatch act was approved by Congress March 2, [887,
and the Adams act was approved March 16, 1906. These funds aim unit to $30,000 annually.
Under the provisions of these acts the work of the Station is restricted to the prosecution of work in
investigating scientific problems having a direct bearing on agriculture. The offices and laboratories of the
Experiment Station occupy the second floor of the Agricultural Building. For the proper conduct of the
work, the Station is provided with five well equipped laboratories, a large greenhouse, dairy barn, seed
houses, storage barns, a splendid herd of dairy cattle and Berkshire hogs and ample land for field and horti-
cultural experiments. The value of the Station equipment amounts to $40,000.
The present organization of the Station staff consists of a Director and Agriculturist, Horticulturist,
Botanist and Plant Pathologist, Entomologist and Zoologist, Chemist, Animal Husbandman, Consulting Vet-
erinarian, Secretary and Librarian, and several assistants.
The activities of the Station are along the following principal lines: Botany, Entomology, Bacteriol-
ogy, Chemistry, Soil Improvement, Diseases of Plants and Animals, Feeding Experiments, Plant Breeding,
Forestry Experiments, Rotation of Crops, Fertilizer Experiments, Horticultural Experiments, Soil Physics,
Pot Experiments, Orchard and Vineyard Experiments, Farm Management and Co-operative Experimental
Work with a great number of farmers.
The Station has published 165 bulletins and 24 annual reports, and these are sent free on request to
all residents of South Carolina who are engaged in farming. There are now about 17,000 names on the mail-
ing list. The officers of the Station are constantly receiving letters from fanners seeking advice and infor-
mation along the lines of agriculture, horticulture and animal husbandry. These letters amount to manythousands every year.
THE COAST EXPERIMENT STATION
In [902, the Board of Trustees of Clemson College provided funds for the purpose of conducting ex-
periments with forage crops and grasses in the coastal region. These experiments were located on the old
Charleston exposition grounds. While these experiments were valuable, they were not conducted on a
sufficiently broad scale to be of much practical value. Through the influence of the Agricultural Committee
of Charleston, the Southern Railway donated to the College 300 acres of land near Summerville, S. C, to be
used for experimental purposes. The Office of Experiment Stations of the U. S. Department of Agriculture
made a careful survey of the lands and planned the system of drainage. In the spring of 1908 work was
begun in clearing the land of stumps and in laying the tile drains. The College has since built a substantial
wire fence around the 300 acres, has cleared 150 acres of stumps and thoroughly tile-drained about 100
acres.
A two-story residence has been built for the superintendent. A large barn has been constructed with
suitable out-houses. An artesian well has been bored that supplies an abundance of pure water. Three crops
have been harvested, the yields of which were abundant and give promise of future development. Without
drainage this land is practically non-productive, the water coming within six inches of the surface.
Experiments have been inaugurated along the following lines : Forestry, rotation of crops, fertilizer
experiments, experiments with trucking crops, orchard experiments, drainage experiments, experiments with
forage crops and grasses, hog and cattle feeding experiments, and farm management. The place has been
beautified according to plans made out by expert landscape gardeners.
The experiments of this Station will be of untold value to the farmers of the coastal region, not only
of this but of all the Gulf States.
The equipment of this Station is valued at about $20,000.
The College has just bought for a branch station in the Pee Dee section of the State 200 acres of
land, just outside the city of Florence. The College paid $20,000 for the property, which will be developed
just as rapidly as the funds of the College will permit.
When the Pee Dee station is completed, a third and last branch station will be located somewhere
in the sandhill section of the State.
THE PUBLIC SERVICE
Large as is its educational work, the College is engaged in public service, the magnitude of which the
people are slow to understand. For last year ending June 30, 10,12, the public service cost the College over
$t 00,000.
A large amount of the public work is carried on through the Division of Extension Work and Farm-
ers' Institutes. The activities of this Division include Farmers' Institutes, Demonstration Trains, Rural
School Work, Animal Industry Work, Correspondence Instruction, Weekly Press Bulletins and Popular
Bulletins on subjects of general interest. The expenditure for this division for the present fiscal year
amounts to about $12,000.
During the past year the College has entered into partnership with the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture for conducting the Farmers' Co-operative Demonstration work in South Carolina. To this particular
interest the College will contribute annually $10,000.
THE FACULTY AND OFFICERSThe faculty of Clemson consists of fifty teachers, and about forty salaried officers and employees,
including the Experiment Station workers.
Ten two-story brick dwellings and from forty to fifty smaller wooden dwellings scattered over the
campus furnish the residences for the professors and other officers of the College.
Tne Clemson Club Hotel consists of a main building as shown, and two eight-room annexes. In ad-
dition to furnishing rooms for the members of the Club, it is open during the entire year to a limited num-ber of transient sruests.
CADET BARRACKSThe cadets live in barracks under military government. They are arranged by companies, as far as
possible, one company to a hall. A limited amount of choice as to room-mates is allowed within the restric-
tions of the company personnel. Only two cadets to the room are allowed.
Cadets answer to morning roll call at about 0:30, and are required to retire by 11 p. m. The present
capacity of the three barracks is 750.
To the rear of each dormitory is a toilet and bath building, connected to the corresponding floor of
the main building by an open iron gangway.
Barracks No. 1 contains 135 rooms. It was built in 1893, and at the opening of College, housed over
6oo students.
Another story was added during the summer of 191 1, which contains 50 additional rooms, the V. M.
C. A. Assembly Hall, and the office and room of the Y. M. C. A. Secretary.
The dining iiall and kitchen run back as a center ell t 1 this barracks. The dining hall can seat 8oo
students.
Barracks No. 2 was built in 1902, the piazzas added during the summer of 191 1. It contains 0:1 the
upper three floors 79 rooms. On the bottom floor are the commissary, ordinance, trunk and laundry deliv-
ery rooms.
Barracks No. 3 was completed in the fall of 1907, at a cost of approximately $50,000.
It fronts the old Calhoun home. The four-column construction is designed to harmonize with that
historic relic. This building contain 111 room-. In the sub-basement are located the plumbing and pipe
fitting shops.
.VII of the dormitories are heated by steam and lighted by electricity.

STUDENT LIFE
( )nl) two students occupy a room. The general arrangement is by companies. When^rtfl^ssJttWieo^-,-,.
student is allowed to choose his room-mate from among the members of his company.
Under military regulations, very little except actual necessities in the way of furnishing is permitted.
No trunks or boxes are allowed. These are kept in the basement of Barracks No. 2, and cadets have access
to them only at stated times.
SUBSISTENCE
The dining hall, or mess-hall, as it is called in military parlance, is capable of seating 800 students.
The charge for table board is $8.00 per month. The fare is simple but wholesome. The tables are served by
27 cadet waiters, who are paid a small sum monthly for this work.
A daily report is made by the Steward to the President of the College, showing the exact amount of
every article which has entered into the service for the day, and the cost for each day.
The following is a typical bill of fare taken at random from the Steward's report
:

THE MILITARY DEPARTMENTThe cadet corps is organize! into twelve companies and three battalions. The commissioned officers
are selected from the Senior Class, the non-commissioned officers from the Junior an 1 Sophomore Classes.
Each company is commanded by a Captain, two Lieutenants, one First Sergeant, four Sergeants and six
Corporals. Each battalion is commanded by an Adjutant and Sergeant Major.
I he purpose of the military system is not to make soldiers, but to give elementary military instruction,
develop good physical bearing, and principally to maintain order an 1 quiet in the Barracks during study
hours.
THE STATE FAIR ENCAMPMENTIf a .sufficient number petition for it, the cadets are allowed to have a week's encampment in Colum-
bia during the State Fair. Although the cost involved is small, no student is required to take this trip. The
cadets are transported on a special train, and their camp made on the athletic field of the State Fair groun Is.
While this encampment causes some loss of time from study, still the educational features of the Fair, to-
gether with the experience in military life, is consideied sufficient compensation to warrant the trip.
The only necessary cost is the railroad fare, since the College boards the cadets in camp free of extra
charge, and free admission to the grounds is always given by the Fair Association.
CLASS INSTRUCTION
For purposes of instruction, the classes are divided up into rather small sections, so that the work may
he done thoroughly. Each student has approximately thirty hours of work per week, fifteen theoretical
hours and fifteen shop or laboratory hours. No regular classes are scheduled on Saturday, the forenoon of
this day being devoted to opportunity for making up work missed during the regular class periods of the week.
THE COST OF AN EDUCATION AT CLEMSONClemson College does not charge students laboratory fees, as is done in most institutions. That is one
of the reasons why the cost to the parent for educating a sou at Clemson is as low as it is. The following
fixed charges represent all that is necessary for a student to pay into the College Treasury during the ses-
sion of nine months:
For For oneRegular Year Agri-Courses cultural Course*'
Incidental fee $ 5-O0 $ 5.00
Medical fee 5.00 5.00
General Breakage fee 3.00 3.00
All required uniforms 30.50 -'4-55
Board, washing, heat, light, etc 90.00 80.00
Total $i33-5o $J 17-50
All students who are able to pay tuition, are required to pay $40.00 additional.
^Begins October 1st, ends June 1st.
CLASS ORGANIZATIONSEach class at the opening of the session elects a President, Vice-President and a committee of five,
which co-operates with the President of the College in promoting the welfare of the class.
The students in the Preparatory Class are not regarded as a College class, and have no organization
as have the others.
RELIGIOUS LIFE OF THE STUDENTSThe Board of Trustees contributes £2,500 annually to pay a portion of the salary of the ministers
of the Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist and Presbyterian denominations. These ministers conduct the morn-
ing chapel services during the week, and alternately preach in the College chapel on Sundays. In addition
to this, S500.00 is paid on the salary of the Secretary of the V. M. C. A., who lives in barracks, and
works within the student body.
The Young Men's Christian Association is a voluntary organization, whose membership is nut con-
fined to any particular denomination, or even to church members. Any one seeking to lead a clean life is
welcomed.
The Y. M. C. A. holds regular meetings every Sunday evening in the Y. M. C. A. ball, and special
meetings during- the week.
1 he Bible Class Study Classes are an important part of the work of the Association. The Bible
classes are conducted every Sunday night in the rooms of the student leaders. The enrollment in this
class readies nearly one-half of the total student enrollment.
The Y. M. C. A. takes an active interest in all social and athletic, as well as religious work.
STUDENT PUBLICATIONS
The Chronicle is a monthly literary magazine published jointly by the three literary societies. This
publication contains contributions from the students, in the form of essays, poems and short stories. The
subscription price is $1.00 per year.
The Tiger is a weekly publication devoted almost exclusively to athletics and local College news. The
profits of this paper are given to "The Annual." The subscription price to The Tiger is $1.00 per session.
The annual publication of the Senior Class is "Taps"—a large, handsomely hound book containing
sketches, pictures and incidents of College life. The price of the volume is $2.50.
LITERARY SOCIETIES
The three Societies—the Calhoun, the Columbian and the Palmetto—occupy elegantly furnished
halls in the main College building. They are maintained entirely by the students.
Each Society holds an annual celebration, at which medals are awarded to the best orator, the best
debater and the best declaimer. The successful orators from the three societies compete for the honor of
representing the College at the annual contest of the South Carolina Intercollegiate Oratorical Association.
A member from each society competes on Monday of Commencement for the Trustee Medal.
MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONSThe musical organizations of the College are the Hand, the Orchestra, and the Glee Club. All of
these are voluntary organizations, although the members of the Band are excused from military duty in
lieu of the time given to practice. The Cadet Band is composed of from fifteen to twenty members, and
furnishes music for all military formations and athletic games, etc. The Orchestra, composed of ten mem-
ber , furnishes music at the dances, society contests. Commencement and other special occasions in chapel.
ATHLETICS
Jt is the policy of the College to sanction and encourage athletics, so long as it is conducted on a high
plane of gentility and sportsmanship, and does not interfere with studies and other duties. Football, base-
hall, track, basketball, and tennis are the most popular sports. The College authorities presume that par-
ents are willing for their sons to participate in these games unless the President is definitely notified to the
contrary.
The athletic teams are permitted to take a limited number of trips each season to play intercollegiate
games. These games are thought to he well worth while because of the college spirit which they incite, and
the close touch in which they bring Clemson College with other similar institutions.
Clemson is a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association ( S. I. A. A. ) and of the
South Carolina Intercollegiate Athletic Association (S. C. I. A. A.).
The faculty imposes very stringent rules upon students who desire to take part in intercollegiate
athletics.
Any student who fails on more than two subjects during a collegiate month is not allowed to partici-
pate in match games during the succeeding month.
Any student who is deficient in more than one subject for a term is not allowed to participate in
match games during the next college year.
Any student who is taking his class over is not allowed to participate in intercollegiate games unless
he iias a perfectly clean record from the beginning of the session up to the time of playing.
The track work, under the efficient guidance of Dr. Calhoun, has attained great prominence in the
South. The Clemson Track Team has won the Southern Intercollegiate championship three times in suc-
cession— in igoo, [910, and jgii.
