H. Dale Hilton Living History Project - Interviews In the mid-1980s, the USC Emeriti Center launched a project to preserve on film the reminiscences of veteran faculty members and administrators. Later named in honor of a former associate director of the Emeriti Center and executive director of the USC Alumni Association, the H. Dale Hilton Living History Project produces videotaped interviews with longtime, influential members of the university’s faculty and staff whose successful careers have given them a unique perspective or who have made particularly significant contributions to the university.
