 A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO DECLARE WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 2013, AS CLEMSON DAY IN
 SOUTH CAROLINA.

   04/09/13  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 13)

TO DECLARE WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 2013, AS CLEMSON DAY IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, Clemson University was founded in 1889 through a bequest to the State of South Carolina from Thomas Green Clemson, a Philadelphia-born, European-educated engineer, musician, and     artist who married John C. Calhoun's daughter, Anna, and settled at her family estate in South Carolina; and

Whereas, Mr. Clemson believed that the way to rebuild his adopted state's war-ravaged economy was through scientific education, so he left his home and fortune to the State of South Carolina to create the institution that bears his name; and

Whereas, located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and surrounded by Lake Hartwell and its own forest, Clemson University is ranked number twenty-five among national public universities--a major, land-grant, science- and engineering-oriented research university that maintains a strong commitment to teaching and student success; and

Whereas, Clemson University is an inclusive, student-centered community characterized by high academic standards, a culture of collaboration, school spirit, and a competitive drive to excel, having provided educational opportunities for the young people of South Carolina and beyond, now with almost 125,000 living alumni worldwide; and

Whereas, Clemson University's economic impact on the State of South Carolina accounts for nearly 25,000 jobs, and its economic-development and research initiatives are helping to meet the needs of both existing and emerging industry clusters ranging from agribusiness and manufacturing to aviation and advanced materials; and

Whereas, Clemson University is part of a national system of land-grant universities and the U.S. Department of Agriculture providing statewide research, extension, and regulatory programs (public-service activities) to enhance economic growth in South Carolina's agribusiness and forestry industries through a continuous flow of knowledge to farmers, foresters, and land managers; and

Whereas, nearly 125 years after its opening, Clemson University continues to fulfill the covenant between its founder and the people of South Carolina to establish a "high seminary of learning" and "develop the material resources of the State" through its historical land-grant responsibilities of teaching, research, and extended public service. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, declare Wednesday, April 10, 2013, as Clemson Day in South Carolina.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to James F. Barker, FAIA, president of Clemson University.
