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.

President Fletcher started out as an assistant professor of agriculture, and eventually became the first Dean of the College of Agriculture. One of his long-term goals was keeping students enrolled and helping those under financial stress. He accomplished this by helping students find work on campus, such as on the school's farm and in campus offices.
