Bulldozer 1978

Bulldozer 1978

Clemson Reflection Pond

It was the evening of October 2, 1978 and we were returning back to Johnstone from the “high rise” side of campus, passing by the ampitheater. There were several people looking at a bulldozer, that a few minutes prior, had been driven into the library reflection pond.

That Night

In the October 6, 1978 issue of the Clemson student newspaper, “The Tiger”, (see page 2, Vol. 72, Issue 7) gave the time as 11:37pm. I thought that it was earlier than that when we were passing back by.

The Next Day

The legend lasted a few years until the prankster taunted about it in 1982.
