"Jerry Reel's first volume was a masterful history of the Clemson
Agricultural College of South Carolina. It ended as the 'college era'
ended. This book begins when the modern era began, with the name change
to Clemson University effective on July 1, 1964. Once again, Dr. Reel
has documented the facts and shared the fascinating, personal stories
that make history come alive during the decades of Clemson's climb into
the top ranks of American public universities."

--James Barker, President Emeritus, Clemson University
