for founding this wonderful now world-class “Seminary of Learning” from the high point of their beautiful Fort Hill home & estate thru their gifting most of their financial assets & land.
Fort Hill’s house & lawn entertained many famous persons including Patrick Henry & Daniel Webster and which is now surrounded by Dorms & Classrooms as far as the eye can see with Main Hall & Bowman Field still being the outer bulwarks that surround the Clemson’s private home.
But for many of us in this modern era the center piece of this lovely campus has shifted down to a low piece of land that has a huge sports stadium called Death Valley which is the home of our beloved Clemson Tiger Football Team.
So in this season of giving thanks, may we remember and give thanks to Tom & Anna Calhoun Clemson whose long-lasting gift indirectly gave us Tiger sports fans a splendid place to view & cheer on our team and which allows us to be a connected & rabid fan base that we are.
Saw :Tom and Anna: and it reminds me of friends, Tom and Anna Collins. He died recently and his funeral was posted om facebook. Here is a link to the funeral. It is long but all Tigers should watch the last minutehttps://mail.yahoo.com/d/folders/4
