Sep 4, 2019, 1:57 PM

Thomas Green Clemson, its founder.

Also... “Clemson University (/?kl?ms?n/[5]) is a public, land-grant research university in Clemson, South Carolina. Founded in 1889, Clemson is the second-largest university in student population in South Carolina. For the fall 2017 semester, the university enrolled a total of 19,402 undergraduate students and 4,985 graduate students,[3] and the student/faculty ratio was 18:1.[6] Clemson's 1,400-acre campus [7] is in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and sits next to Lake Hartwell. The university manages the nearby 17,500-acre Clemson Experimental Forest that is used for research, education, and recreation.”.

No mention of any of that redneck stuff Texas A&M is tied up in.

Hell, I'll do it myself...

Clemson was founded as Clemson Agricultural College of S.C. in 1889, 13 years after Texas A&M was founded as the The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. It became Clemson University in 1955. Texas A&M was renamed to Texas A&M University in 1963, retaining the "A&M" as a nod to its historical roots.

Clemson was never Clemson A&M. The A&M was colloquial because most schools founded under the Morrill Act, like Clemson, were agricultural and mechanical colleges and had A&M in their names (Oklahoma A&M, now OSU, and LSU A&M come to mind). It did not, and never did, stand for "Army & Military." That would be redundant because the army is a part of the military, and in all other historical instances, and especially at the time of its usage in reference to Clemson, was understood to stand for, "Agricultural & Mechanical."
