One of my clients once asked me how many colleges or universities were located within 2 hours of Anderson. These clients particularly enjoyed the stimulating lifestyle, both academically and sportswise, which are associated with institutions of higher learning. I was absolutely amazed when I started looking at the number of colleges and universities that were right around us. Its not just world class sports that these institutions bring us, although that’s not bad, it’s the variety of intellectual offerings that they always have available. Below is the list that I compiled for them along with some notations about the colleges that I thought was appropriate. I am not thoroughly familiar with all of them so I do not have information or notations on all of them. May I take just a little pride in mentioning one function that I am personally involved in and that’s the Calhoun Lecture series associated with The Strom Thurmond Institute at Clemson University. I have the privilege to be on the advisory committee for this series. The lecturers are world renown...... They include columnist Jack Anderson, Civil war historian Shelby Foote, former senator Howard Baker to mention a few.
