John Randolph Hubbard (December 3, 1918 – August 21, 2011)[1] was an American educator, academic administrator, and diplomat who served as the eighth president of the University of Southern California from 1970 and 1980.
Hubbard was born and raised in Belton, Texas.[2] He earned his Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts, and PhD in history from the University of Texas at Austin. As an undergraduate at the University of Texas, he became a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity.[3] Dr. Hubbard was the son of Dr.L.H. Hubbard, president of Texas Woman's University from 1926-50.
In 1970, USC became a member of the Association of American Universities. Between 1970 and 1980, USC rose from 33 to 19 in National Science Foundation federal research rankings and applications rose from 4,100 to more than 11,000. Hubbard's Toward Century II campaign, started in 1976, raised more than $306 million.[4] During his time as president, Hubbard also became friendly with Gerald Ford, and the two placed wagers on the outcome of the 1977 Rose Bowl during a campaign stop.[5] Hubbard left USC in 1980, and was succeeded as President by James Zumberge.[6]
Hubbard continued to teach history during his term as president and afterward, until shortly before his death. Hubbard served on the USC Board of Trustees. USC's Student Services building was renamed John Hubbard Hall in September 2003.[7]
