This series consists of records of the President that President Atchley transferred to the University Archives at the end of his administration in July 1985.
This collection consists primarily of material which Lemon collected and created during his long association with IPTAY, Clemson's athletic support group, the Clemson Alumni Association and Loyalty Fund, and the University Foundation. Mr. Lemon gave the collection to the Library in February, 1984 with the request that a number of items be restricted for fifteen years.
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.
Clemson Professor Joseph L. Arbena conducted a series of interviews between the years 1980 and 1983 as part of research for a 1984 book that he helped edit titled IPTAY: The First Fifty Years. The interviews focus on the establishment and evolution of the IPTAY organization during the fifty year period 1934-1984.
