Description
President Riggs offered his reflection of the 1920 walkout. He placed particular emphasis on the notion that college life had changed in the years following World War I. He insists Clemson had operated as an institution "for boys;" however, the Great War had turned many of Clemson's students into men. This disparity was the root cause of the walkout in Riggs' view.
