The Dr. Bill Atchley Papers contain personal records primarily from the period when he served as President of Clemson University, 1979-1985. Until 1996, access to the collection was restricted to researchers who had received Dr. Atchley's permission.
T. Wilbur "Buddy" Thornhill, was a South Carolinian, a Clemson graduate, a Captain in World War I, a business man, and public servant. He was always interested in educational, agricultural, and industrial development for South Carolina. These interests and his activities qualified him for his position on Clemson's Board of Trustees.
