About

"To Dream of Greater Conquests": The Gradual Desegregation of Clemson Athletics and the Tiger Band, 1963 - 1975 is a project created by Clemson University MA student Kayla M Cook in their first semester for Professor Douglas Seefeldt's HIST 8500 Digital Methods in History course in Fall 2020. Its title comes from a verse of the Clemson Alma Mater:

We will dream of greater conquests
For our past is grand,
And her sons have fought and conquered
Every foreign land.

This verse, while now rather dated with its allusion to military "conquests," and obviously reminiscent of Clemson's military academy past, also reminds us that there will always be things that need to be fought for, whether that is the nation's freedom, or the freedom and equal rights of a minority.
