Today
With the resurgence of interest in recreational sports and the construction of the USC Lyon Center, the fencing team received a new base and more ability to recruit new members. Now, in the twenty-first century, the fencing team remains as committed to teaching new fencers the skills they need to compete at a high level as the team was in 1926 when it all began. This latest reincarnation of the fencing team, with Dr. Scott Frank, Derek Cotton and Terry Dix as coaches, has produced champion fencers in the collegiate league.
Each spring, the USC Fencing Club hosts the annual USFA-sanctioned USC Linkmeyer Invitational, in memory of Fred Linkmeyer (class of '31).

—Alexander Trocchi (1925–1983)
“The greatest block today in the way of woman’s emancipation is the church, the canon law, the Bible and the priesthood.”
