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.

Several of them expressed interest in forming a Chinese Faculty Organization in Southern California for the purpose of promoting friendship and social ties, to create a forum for discussions and exchange views and to help the Chinese Community. [...] By December of that year the organization Committee had drafted a constitution named the association 'The Chinese Collegiate Colleagues of So. California (CCC SC)'. The constitution was ratified on February 21, 1970 at an inaugural banquet in the Golden Palace Restaurant in Chinatown, with 68 persons present (including spouses and guests). Professor Orient Lee, a noted Chinese historian, famous for his entertaining talk on the Three Kingdoms, was the guest speaker (in case you are curious, the price for the banquet then was $6.50/person, tax & tip included). At this meeting, election of members of the executive council was conducted and results were as follows: President - Theodore Chen (USC) Vice President/president Elect. - Sunney I. Chan (CIT) Secretary - Tien Fan Tao (UCLA) Treasurer - Lois Wong Chi (CSU Dominguez Hills) Social Chairman - Teresa Sun (CSLA)"plain2022-12-16T23:33:49-08:00Tang Li94607ee88639079982d0344d02ff8ecdf7b6dc46
