Former university president dies Zumberge leaves behind legacy of goals, accomplishments By Allyson Daniel Staff Writer University President Emeritus James Zumberge, noted for his extensive work in geology and Antarctic exploration, died Wednesday afternoon at Huntington Memorial Hospital from complications arising from a brain tumor. Zumberge took office as the ninth president of the university on August 18, 1980, and remained in office until he retired in March 1991. After stepping down as president, he remained on faculty as a geology professor. He had originally planned to resume teaching a geology class this semester after taking a nine-month sabbatical. "I'm more interested in teaching undergraduates now," Zumberge said upon his retirement. "I think undergraduates are the most neglected part of our student body. I've been trying to convey that message to the faculty here and other institutions I've been around for the last 25 years." Zumberge, 68, was on sabbatical when he began to experience physical difficulties while vacationing at his summer home in Jackson Hole, Wyo., prompting him to consult a physician. He was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Zumberge began radiation treatment close to a year ago, just two weeks after his brother, Bob Zumberge, died from a brain tumor of a similar nature. Among James Zumberge's many accomplishments at the university were the establishment of the neurosciences program, the Southern California Earthquake Center and Campaign for USC, the largest fundraising program in the university's history. "Overall the university has shed some of its early reputation as being a jock school and as a place for white rich kids," said Zumberge in a Daily Trojan in-(See Zumberge, page 2) Zumberge remembered by President Emeritus James Zumberge was honored for his accomplishments throughout his 11-year USC administrators / 8 term.
