Topping Dr. Topping had a distinguished 16 year career as a researcher in viral and rickettsial diseases within the U.S. Public Health Service.

Dr. Topping served as the seventh President of USC from 1958 to 1970 and held the post of university chancellor from 1971 until his retirement in 1980. "We are a large university in the heart of a vast urban area. We are completely aware that urban problems are major problems that must be solved and that a university can't be an ostrich and stick its head in the sand." |
