First held in 1925, The Appoliad was a movement to stimulate creative arts at USC. The annual program showcased original contributions
by students in fields of music, poetry, dance, plays, monologues, essays, and comedic and dramatic performances. The Appoliad
was discontinued in 1947 due to lack of interest from the governing body who claimed that they had fulfilled the need of stimulating
creativity on campus.
