Bowman Field and Tillman HallClemson University LibrariesOn back: 9/24/66; Tillman Hall was the complete Clemson at the outset when classes first met with a faculty of 15 members and 446 students on July 7, 1893. The first class graduated in 1896. Today the historic structure houses the office of Chief administrator, President Robert C. Edwards, other administrative offices and the Clemson University detachment of the U.S. Air Force ROTC. The life-size statue of Clemson founder, Thomas G. Clemson, occupies a prominent place at the main entrance of the building, which is named for Governor Benjamin R. Tillman who championed state sponsorship for the institution in 1888. A new statue of Clemson, cast in bronze, will soon replace the original cast in stone and put in place 30 years ago.
