Auburn around 1919. Spearheaded a group of citizens to establish a medical clinic for citizens of Auburn who were not receiving medical care. Legacy Cliff Hare served as part of the foundation of character-building forces of the school and the community of Auburn for nearly fifty years. In reality, his impact was felt throughout the southeast. In the 1934 API-Georgia football program, he is described as “one of the most beloved characters connected with athletics in the South.” Coach Jordan tells the following story, “Fessor Hare told me how he and Dr. Sanford - for whom the stadium in Athens is named - used to come to Auburn every year after the Auburn-Georgia game in Columbus to divide the money. They would sit down in the Hare kitchen, take the money out of an old cigar box, and spread it across a marble tabletop and say, ‘a dollar for you and a dollar for us’ until the game proceeds were divided equally between the two schools.” Clifford Leroy Hare was one of a handful of Auburn men who believed in the potential of Auburn's football program. He labored on many levels for more than 56 years, even while in poor health, to see this program come to maturity.
