Chapter History
===============

The Clemson University ACM Student Chapter seems to have existed since around 1962 or 1963. The first documented reference we're aware of is in the [1964-1965 student handbook](https://open.clemson.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1048&context=handbook), which lists the executive board of the time.

However, we know this wasn't the first executive board because of the timing mentioned in this [university newsletter](https://open.clemson.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1001&context=clemson_newsletter).

> Masell L. Coleman, Jr. of Charleston and Clemson will join the Computer Center in July as a programmer. He expects to graduate from Clemson in August. While a student he has for two years been president of the Clemson Chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery.

In the November 12, 1965 issue of The Tiger, there is an announcement of a guest speaker event to be held on November 17.

> The Clemson chapter of the Association for Computer Machinery will hear Mr. Harlan Herrick of the Programming Systems Staff of IBM on Nov. 17 at 4:30 p.m. in Room 101 of the Physics Building. All interested students are invited to attend his lecture.

Dr. Mark Smotherman helped us gather much of this information and also maintains a more general website about the history of the School of Computing [here](https://people.computing.clemson.edu/~mark/soc_history.html).
