Additional Description: According to an article in Clemson World (2005), Margaret Marie Snider Coker, who transferred from Anderson College after receiving a two-year degree, commuted by hitchhiking daily with her brother to Clemson from her home in Anderson. She recalled that when she entered class, the boys all stood up and clapped. She went on to earn a degree in chemistry in 1957 and at that moment became Clemson's first female graduate.
