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.
Writer and professional consultant Joseph C. Ellers conducted a series of research interviews in the mid 1980s for his book "Getting To Know Clemson University Is Quite An Education: Determination Makes Dreams Come True."
The interviews focus on key events that shaped the progress and development of Clemson University during the presidency of Robert C. Edwards (1958-1979).
