Clemson

I lived very close to Clemson University and traveled into Clemson often to service the bank branches in that town. I have been trying to think of why that was and I guess it could be because of the Tigers.

CLEMSON UNIVERSITY


Chapter II - History

Thomas Green Clemson – scientist, engineer, diplomat, planter, painter and musician – was a nineteenth century Renaissance man destined to become one of the most influential men in the history of South Carolina.

Born in Philadelphia in 1807, the young Clemson went to military school and later sought out the universities of Europe to provide a scientific education that was not available in the U.S. He studied in Paris at the Royal School of Mines and the Sorbonne, and received his diploma as an assayer from the Royal Mint. He also played the violin, composed music, painted, and collected art.

Although he once vowed never to marry, at the age of 31 Clemson met and fell in love with Anna Maria Calhoun, daughter of South Carolina Statesman John C. Calhoun. With his marriage in 1838, Clemson turned his attention, intellect, and scientific training to agriculture, specifically the management of his father-in-law's plantation, Fort Hill. He bought his own plantation near Edgefield in 1843, but the next year was called to diplomatic service as charge d'affaires to the Kingdom of Belgium. A historical marker was dedicated near the site of Clemson's plantation in Saluda County in August, 1990.

After returning to the United States in 1852, Clemson bought a small farm in Prince Georges County, Maryland, four miles from the capital. He soon became immersed in the movement to establish scientific and agricultural education as a national priority. He supported the founding of an agricultural college that later became the University of Maryland and was a strong supporter of the Morrill Act, which in 1862 established the land-grant college system.

Clemson became the nation's first superintendent of agricultural affairs in January of 1860, while that function was still attached to the U.S. Patent Office. He submitted a plan for the establishment of a federal department of agriculture, but his dream was thwarted. He gave up his post at the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861.

After the war, Clemson lived out the remainder of his life at Fort Hill. He was surrounded by poverty and the bitter fruits of war. He became more convinced than ever of the need for scientific research and education. "Our condition is wretched in the extreme," he wrote in the late 1860's. "Every one is in trouble, many ruined, and others quitting the country in despair. There is, in my opinion, no hope for the South short of widespread scientific education," he concluded. The need was there, but the resources were not. Clemson lobbied the state legislature to establish an agricultural college and was severely disappointed when his efforts failed. At one point, after the deaths of his wife, his daughter and his son, he even thought of selling the Calhoun home and returning to Europe.

Fortunately, Clemson held on to Fort Hill until his own death on April 6, 1888, the date now observed by Clemson University as Founder's Day.

His last will and testament, which was written in 1886, outlined his purpose: ". . . to establish an agricultural college which will afford useful information to the farmers and mechanics . . . therefore, it should afford thorough instruction in agriculture and natural sciences. It should combine, if practicable, physical and intellectual education, and should be a high seminary of learning . . . ." In his will, Clemson specified a unique structure for the governing Board of Trustees. The board was to be comprised of seven Life Trustees and six Trustees elected by the state legislature. Clemson's will even named the first Life Trustees. With those conditions, he challenged the State of South Carolina to accept his bequest of about $80,000 in cash, the Fort Hill house, and 814 acres of farmland to establish Clemson Agricultural College of South Carolina. On May 2, 1888, the original seven Life Trustees met under an oak tree at Fort Hill to plan a strategy for turning Thomas Green Clemson's vision into reality.

Colonel Richard Simpson, Clemson's attorney, the author of the will, executor of the estate, and first president of the Trustees, notified the State Legislature of Clemson's bequest. Opposition soon developed, including that from South Carolina College (now the University of South Carolina), which stood to lose federal funding for agricultural education if the Clemson bequest was accepted by the State Legislature. After a heated debate and floor fight, the Act of Acceptance was passed (by one vote) and signed into law by Gov. John P. Richardson on November 27, 1889.

Those names were in a dream where I saw it printed on an enveloped addressed to me as a former residence of mine and that was in a collection of papers I was looking through although I never saw the part where I was rummaging through the papers. The names were supposed to represent the towns of Central and Clemson, SC, I guess I thought after waking up.

As I was reading the address on the envelope, I am thinking now, and must have thought vaguely until, but that I feel certain about now, I think I was feeling something close to disappointment, although that isn't precise, that the address was "Evelyn" and not "Winchester" which was the larger of the two small towns that were situated next to each other. It seems that I wanted to have an address in "Winchester" although my address was in "Evelyn" even though "Winchester" seemed to be the dominant town in some kind of terms that I can only articulate in a manner similar to how Central SC and Clemson SC are next to each other. There was nothing in the dream to make me think of when I lived in Central SC but at some point at either in the dream or after I awoke I was feeling certain those are the towns represented by "Evelyn" and "Winchester." I was telling someone sitting next to me on a schoolbus that I must have been Bill Clinton's lawyer for the Whitewater trouble because "Whitewater" was part of my address printed on the envelope and I was commenting about how I had created such details in my false identity.

Board of Trustees

Welcome Message from Chairman Wilkins

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Clemson University. Not only a pleasure to welcome you – it is a tremendous privilege and a labor of love. This University first captured my imagination as a young boy and as a young man proved the gateway to my best hopes and ambitions. It has been a special part of my life for as long as I can remember, and it is so gratifying now to be working with the Clemson family to help ensure all our tomorrows are as successful as our yesterdays.

Nationally recognized for both academic quality and value, Clemson is a land-grant, science- and engineering-oriented research university that maintains a strong commitment to teaching and student success. It is characterized by high academic standards, a culture of collaboration, school spirit, and a competitive drive to excel.

The university was founded in 1889 through a bequest 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. 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.

His will also outlined a unique governance system that includes seven life Trustees who select their successors and six Trustees who are appointed by the State Legislature, a system that provides both long-term stability and public accountability. The Board’s role is to govern through establishment of policies that ensure academic quality and freedom, protect the university’s financial security, and ensure efficient and effective administration through the Board’s selected president and his or her executive officers.

More information about the Board, its policies, and its meetings can be found at this site. Thank you for visiting. If you have any questions or concerns, I hope you will not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

David H. Wilkins, Chairman

Sometime in 1992, according to my symbolic memory, I moved back to South Carolina, from Memphis, to work for a company with the initials U.F.P. A few months ago I was studying an earnings history document I got from the Social Security Administration and it dawned on me that U.F.P., which my work history document indicated was located on a street named Enterprise Drive, was listed on there because of the "United Federation of Planets," which was the governing body in Star Trek. Then I looked at the company I worked for before that. Their initials were ISA-ISS and they were based in Alexandria, VA, and I "remember" that the company was formed by a former USN officer. I decided that was a reference to "International Space Station," and the ISA was a reference to an, as far as I know fictional, "International Space Agency." I worked for U.F.P. through 1995 and in 1996, according to the work history from the Social Security Administration, I worked for a company named Eagle that was located in a town named Columbia. The next year, 1997, I worked for a company that had the initials MPCSI, and I think that is a reference to my work, I assume, with the U.S. intelligence community and military law enforcement. The "MP" would be recognized as Military Police and the "CSI" is popularized on television as "Crime Scene Investigation." So in 1992, according to my "memory," I moved back to South Carolina, to provide electronic support for banking equipment, especially Automated Teller Machines (ATM), where UFP had a maintenance contract with a bank named First Federal.

I have been puzzling over those details for a long time, but the first one that piqued my interest, as my perception began to suggest I had never actually lived in any of those places, or at least not as I "remember" it all, was that I moved to a town in western South Carolina named Central.

For while I have been puzzling about Seneca, SC, which is near where I lived in Central, SC. My primary territory, although sometimes the whole state, was the upper portion of SC west of Greenville. The bank branch in Seneca was the branch that was farthest west in my territory. I spent most of my time covering Clemson and Seneca. Recently I remembered something interesting about Clemson University: Their school mascot is the Tiger, just as is Princeton University. I found it interesting to remember a few weeks ago that last year, during Christmas, the choir from Princeton University was singing Christmas caroles at the homeless shelter I was in and I thought they were sure a long ways from home.

Well, the future...

So in the third quarter we saw no signs of weakening.
We're up 18% over last year's third-quarter gross...

Our competition continues to flag and we continue to take up the slack.
Market shares in most divisions is increasing...

Sub-franchising. Don't talk to me about sub-franchising.
We're making so much money in sub-franchising...
...it isn't even funny.
Our nominees and assigns continue to multiply and expand...
...extending our influence nationally and abroad.
Our owned and operateds are performing...
...far beyond our expectations both here and abroad.
And the Federal Tax Act of 1958...

Homer Goes to College


After learning that Homer is seriously underqualified for his own job, Mr. Burns enrolls him at Springfield University. While there, he befriends three nerds and accidentally gets them expelled.

http://www.snpp.com/episodes/1F02.html


Homer Goes to College


Original airdate in N.A.: 14-Oct-93


The only recourse is to get the nerds back into college, thinks Homer, with a zany scheme of some sort. The nerds aren't sure about the "zany" idea, but Homer ignores them: "I got it! We're gonna fix it so you guys save the Dean's life!"

In the next scene, Homer is behind the wheel, driving with a determined look on his face. He checks his watch, seeing "4:59", and says, "Perfect." He fishtails around the corner.

The Dean is just leaving, closing the door on his way out. He whistles as he strolls down the path to the parking lot. The nerds are hiding behind a nearby bush.

Nerd 2: OK, guys: push him out of the way in exactly three seconds.

Nerd 1: Should we correct for wind resistance?

Nerd 3: Hmm, possibly. What do _you_ think?

[Homer hits the Dean with his car, and the Dean goes flying]

Nerd 1: Oh, my.

-- I hope he's insured, "Homer Goes to College"

In the Springfield General Hospital, Homer and the nerds stand beside the Dean's bed. Homer apologizes for the "running-you-over prank", and he admits that all the other pranks were his idea too. "I'm the one who should be expelled." The Dean is touched by Homer's honesty, and he wonders if perhaps he's been a bit of an ogre himself. "Yes you have," Homer confirms quietly.

The Dean magnanimously offers to readmit the nerds and to forget that the whole silly incident ever happened. Just then, Dr. Hibbert walks in with the Dean's prosthetic replacement hip. It breaks in his hands, so the Doctor jovially informs him he'll have to go easy on it.

Clinton Team Picks Apart Jones's Life [ RACKETEER INFLUENCED AND CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS US Title 18 ]

By Peter Baker and Lorraine Adams

Washington Post Staff Writers

Monday, February 23, 1998; Page A01

The 11th-floor New York Avenue law offices with a strategic view of Washington's majestic landmarks are a fair distance from the one-stoplight town of Lonoke, Ark. But these days there is little about Lonoke's most famous native daughter that is not known in the polished suites of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.

Piece by piece, President Clinton's top-dollar legal team has taken apart the life of Paula Jones, examining topics from her job history to her possible sex partners. They turned up a check she bounced when reimbursing the Arkansas government for personal calls made on state phones. They found previous employers who fired her for tardiness or other reasons. They scoured personnel records and discovered she typed only 24 words per minute and scored 121 out of 174 on an Arkansas state clerical examination.

Venturing into more salacious territory, they interviewed as many as a half-dozen men who claimed to have had sex with her, including some who said they met her casually at parties or bars and then engaged in quick encounters, according to people close to the case. One former boss signed an affidavit alleging that she pursued him at work and that they slept together. After their short-lived relationship ended, he fired her -- in part, he said, because she dressed too provocatively.

Now that the lawyers essentially have finished gathering evidence and made the final pretrial effort to get Jones's sexual harassment lawsuit thrown out, a picture has emerged of who the president's defense team is and where it is headed. Led by veterans of past high-profile political cases, the Clinton legal squad is following an aggressive and political risky strategy centered on Jones herself. After all the attention focused on a president linked by fact or rumor to a host of women -- most recently and most perilously Monica S. Lewinsky -- Clinton's lawyers hope to turn the spotlight with blinding intensity on the life of his most persistent accuser.

"Does her story make sense? It's always been our position to point out why it doesn't make sense," said Mitchell S. Ettinger, a Clinton attorney. "No one's going to argue they weren't in a room together. And you don't have to call her a complete liar. But everything she's said -- about her injuries to her job, her reactions to this, her reasons for filing suit -- it's not going to add up."

Regarding Henry


Folks, we've been here for a long time now,
listening to people talk for months.
Complicated medical testimony.
A lot of emotion in this case.
There is not a person in this room who isn't sorry
about what happened to Mr. Matthews.
It's a tragedy.
And when something like this happens,
you desperately want to blame someone, don't you?
Someone else.
We understand that. It's natural.
But what have we got here? What's the bottom line?
It's Mr. Matthews' word
against the East Shore Hospital, isn't it?
That's exactly what it is.
Now, obviously, any decent human being
would want to believe Mr. Matthews...
believe that he told the admitting nurse, Mrs. Valdez
that he was diabetic.
It would seem... poetic that someone else was to blame.
It would feel right.
But it wouldn't be fair.
Let's-let's think for a second.
Who's being blamed here?
It's not some, some big bad hospital corporation.
We're talking about human beings.
Four doctors, five nurses,
the hospital chief of staff present at the time.
All of them there for no other purpose
than to try and save Jonathan Matthews' life.
Now, this is painful, and I don't like doing this,
but if we're all going to do our jobs,
I've got to bring this up again.
Mr. Matthews is an alcoholic.
In July of 1979, he tried to commit suicide.
And, you know, even I was surprised to learn
from the plaintiff's own doctors, ironically,
that this tragedy could have been caused
by the abuse of alcohol.
So here's my point:
We all understand why
Mr. Matthews is blaming the hospital...
but nobody could have prevented Mr. Mathews' suffering
except Mr. Matthews.
Listen to me.
Listen to me.
The table you delivered is not the table I ordered.
I'm-I'm having a party on Friday,
and the table sitting in my dining room
looks like a goddamned turtle.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 10/2/2006 7:15 PM
I imagine that memories consist of chains of neurons that are scattered through out the brain. The memories are formed from the neurons stored in certain parts of the brain and those specialty neurons create associations that form the memories. I imagine that the neuron’s that process sensory input and recognize that input as something we smell or hear, all combine to produce a memory of a specific event. I further imagine those chains weave throughout the brain with the connections of the axion and the dendrites of each neuron and some of the chain spans into the outer edge of the brain. If the outer layer of my brain was damaged, then the chain is broken. But some where in my mind, there is a process that recognizes that information is missing because of the fragments of those memories. When I sleep, there is some process that is trying to reestablish those connections of neurons and recover the full memory.

Why do I always remember that the speed of light is 186, 282 miles per second? Why do I have such a precise memory of that detail? Most times when you read about the speed of light, it is rounded off to 186, 000 mps. Why do I need such precision? And I still remember that pi is 3.1415926536 without looking it up. Why do I remember that?

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 10/2/2006 8:47 PM
When I sleep at night, my dreaming mind probably replays all those fragments and tries to line them up with other fragments, trying to make sense of it all.

% Homer and Marge take Bart back to The Pharm Team. Soon, he's running
% on a treadmill, with several electrodes stuck to his body.

Marge: I understand the electrodes, but why does he have to be on a treadmill?

Pharm. 1: Oh, that was his idea. He said he felt fat.

Marge: Oh.

Pharm. 2: You said he was concerned about satellites?

Marge: And their beams.

Pharm. 2: Any other strange behavior?

Homer: He quit blinking. He says that's when they kill you.

Pharm. 2: I had a feeling that might happen. This carboxyl group sometimes causes problems. [indicates molecular model]

Homer: And we trusted you! [strangles model]

Marge: I think we should take him off the drug.

Pharm. 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! You can't just go off Focusyn.

% The rest of the Simpsons have also arrived at SES. Marge stands in
% the path of the tank, in a bid to keep Bart from ramming the school.

Homer: My God, is she brave, standing up to that freaked-out junkie.

Lisa: Dad, that junkie is your son.

Homer: Why don't you just tell everybody? [the tank comes to a halt just inches from Marge]

Bart: Hey, Mom. Thanks for coming out.

Marge: Oh, thank you for stopping the tank.

Bart: It ran out of gas.

Marge: Oh ... so Bart?

Bart: Question.

Marge: How about getting out of the tank, eh? Maybe stopping your rampage, eh?
