I actually would argue that you can still call Clemson an Ag school today because it fits in with the other Ag schools and it remains a useful label to describe its orientation. When a person says that X is an Ag school you know precisely what they mean, a school that once focused largely on agriculture and has now shifted to a focus on engineering while retaining their once and still prominent agriculture programs. It tells you about their nature, their history, and their strengths.

Michigan State, NC State, Kansas State, TAMU, Oklahoma State, Mississippi State, Purdue, Auburn, and Clemson all still have their colleges or schools of Agriculture. They're Ag Schools, they share a common bond.

Schools like USC, UVA, UNC, they've never had Ag Schools because they came first and are the flagship colleges. Compare that to the unified model like in Wisconsin or Nebraska.

I would say land grant rather than 'ag school', if you think it is important to group schools that way. lol

also keep in mind SC was the original ag school in SC and would still be today if Dr. Clemson had not donated his land for a new college.

Also, many 'flagship' universites are also the land grant university in their state like UGA, Maryland, Florida and Tenn.
