The Mark Clark Distinguished Visiting Professor, also known as the Mark Clark Chair of History, was established in 1982 in honor of Gen. Mark Clark, the 11th president of the military college and a war hero whose service in the U.S. Army spanned 40 years. During World War II, Clark was commander of Allied troops that liberated Rome in 1944. Interstate 526 in the Lowcountry is named for him as is Mark Clark Hall, the student center, on The Citadel campus.
