The The Danny Ford Clock Tower @ Howard Hall

When they come for Tillman again ....and they will come , let's get the ball rolling in favor of our coaching legacies before they decide to call it after Clemson's president from 1931 .
: as a side interest , who was the president of Clemson University in 1931 ?

Since nobody wants to play , the Clemson prez in 1931 was Enoch Walter Sikes .
So there's that .

We already have a Sikes Hall. How about an ENOCH HALL. Or, we could just leave it like it is.

I'm about letting sleeping logs lie and all , but there's this faction that always wants to roll the log over ...so it ain't sleeping anymore.

Ha!! That's so obvious that it almost seems racist.

In a weird kind of way.
The original name is way cooler than Tillman Hall. Old Main.

It would be a fitting tribute to a great Clemson President.

I think there is already a building w his name on it. Tillman has a name. It should not change. Screw the revisionists

He led us through 2 great changes...the addition of females in the mid 50's and the integration of Blacks in 1963. He served for a quarter century and is arguably our most important President.
Tillman was a very bad man but there would not be a Clemson without him. I am torn.
BTW the founders of Yale and Brown were involved in the slave trade. Much easier to take a shot at Calhoun I guess.
