COMMITTEE REPORT
May 11, 2022
H. 5344
S. Printed 5/11/22--H.
Read the first time May 4, 2022.
To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 5344) to request Clemson University President Dr. James P. Clements and the members of the Clemson University Board of Trustees name the cattle facility located at the T. Ed Garrison Arena, etc., respectfully
That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:
DENNIS C. MOSS for Committee.
TO REQUEST CLEMSON UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT DR. JAMES P. CLEMENTS AND THE MEMBERS OF THE CLEMSON UNIVERSITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES NAME THE CATTLE FACILITY LOCATED AT THE T. ED GARRISON ARENA "DR. POAG REID CATTLE FACILITY".
Whereas, Dr. Poag Reid, a York County native, majored in Animal and Veterinary Science as a Clemson University student and while there, served as "The Tiger" mascot; and
Whereas, he received his doctor of veterinarian medicine in 1971, moved to Pendleton, and began practicing with a local veterinarian. He later established Creek Run Veterinary Clinic in 1976, which he operated until his retirement; and
Whereas, Dr. Reid became one of the most respected veterinarians in the country and received calls from many well-known trainers, breeders, and fellow veterinarians; and
Whereas, Dr. Reid is credited with initiating the effort to build an agricultural multipurpose event center to promote education and agricultural academia at Clemson University. After much hard work, the General Assembly funded what would become the T. Ed Garrison arena in 1985; and
Whereas, there would not be a livestock arena at Clemson University without Dr. Reid's vision and dedication; and
Whereas it would be fitting and proper to name the cattle facility at Clemson University in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly request Clemson University President Dr. James P. Clements and the members of the Clemson University Board of Trustees name the cattle facility located at the T. Ed Garrison Arena "Dr. Poag Reid Cattle Facility".
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Dr. James P. Clements, president of Clemson University, and the members of the Clemson University Board of Trustees.
