History of Clemson University The roots of agriculture run deeply in South Carolina’s history. After the Civil War devastated Southern land and economy, many questioned if the agricultural way of life could survive. Thomas Green Clemson, son-in- law of South Carolina’s foremost statesman John C. Calhoun, believed that the agricultural field of study could improve through science. He offered up part of his state (Fort Hill) to found the agricultural and mechanical college today Clemson University. Through the years, faculty, students, alumni, and fans have all realized the importance of Thomas G. Clemson’s vision and how important the higher level of education was for him. Clemson University started off with barely 600 undergraduates and graduated with only 17 kids to now the great school of Clemson with over 20,000 in all.
