Clemson University Tiger Tailgaters
Clemson University was founded in 1889, a legacy of Thomas Green Clemson, who willed his Fort Hill plantation and other property to the state of South Carolina to establish a technical and scientific institution. Clemson began with 446 students as a military college in 1893.
Fort Hill was the home of John C. Calhoun from 1825 until 1850 and the home of his son-in-law, Clemson University founder Thomas Green Clemson, from 1872 until 1888.
The Carillon Garden was given to the University during Reunion 1993 by the Golden Anniversary Class of '43. The garden is dedicated as a lasting tribute to the entire class and particularly to those who lost their lives during World War II. Tillman Hall Bell Memorial, located in the Carillon Garden between Sikes Hall and Tillman Hall, displays the bell that hung in the clock tower of Tillman Hall for 80 years. was given to the University during Reunion 1993 by the Golden Anniversary Class of '43.

Howard's Rock
When the Clemson team gathers to Run Down the Hill the players rub Howard's Rock because
of the mystical powers it is supposed to give Clemson players. The Rock, from Death
Valley, California, was first placed on the pedestal at the top of the hill on September
24, 1966, a game Clemson won 40-35 over Virginia.
