Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Zimmerman took over superintendent LaMoure and was the State Hospitals superintendent for 33 years. Where he took on a lot of negative controversy over him during his years of serving at the hospital. Dr. Zimmerman was very involved in the decision making in the hospital like all superintendents were. Dr. Zimmerman consistently searched for loopholes in the legislation that would allow him to sterilize feebleminded and epileptic individuals, which was not legal during this time. Because he was a firm believer in this, it gave those working for superintendent Zimmerman a negative outlook. When Dr. Zimmerman decided that when it was time for him to step down as superintendent, he made it clear that he wanted to be involved in the choosing of the one who was going to replace him.
