Physical Description: 28 boxes (11.6 linear feet)
Arrangement Note: Files from Provost/Vice President’s office arranged by blocks and alphabetically- colleges, hospital, library, administrative, organization, government agencies. Materials are arranged alphabetically in units representing associations, colleges, hospitals within the Health Center and files within the units also are arranged in alphabetical order.
Agency Note: The office of Vice President for Health Affairs was originally known as the Provost. This office- either as Provost or VPHA has changed over time, and has at times been abolished. The Provost oversees all six colleges within the Health Science Center and originally had oversight of the hospital. The first Provost was Russell Poor, who originally acted as Director of the Medical Center Study. He became provost after the Health Center came into existence. He was replaced by Dr. Samuel Martin, first Chair of the Department of Medicine, College of Medicine. (The first university provost was Bob Mautz who started in office in 1958.) The Director/CEO of Shands became a separate office in under Russell Jordan in 1959, although Russell Poor held the title for a year while he was still Provost/VPHA.
The Health Science Center was first conceived of as the Medical Center, and was planned over a period starting in the 1940s, when the decision to site a medical school at Gainesville was first reached by the state legislature. The first two colleges in the center were Medicine and Nursing followed in 1959 by the College of Health Related Services (later named Health Related Professions in 1964, then Health Professions in 1996). The College of Pharmacy moved down from the main campus in 1961. The College of Dentistry opened in 1972, Vet Med in 1976. The hospital opened in 1958, and was first overseen by the provost/VP but its administration was separated in 1959. It later became a separate, nonprofit organization, officially not a part of the University. The VA Hospital opened in 1967; physicians at the VA have joint appointments at UF-COM. The first three provosts served for fairly lengthy periods, but when Dr. Chandler Stetson passed away after two years in office, there was a period of relative instability with Dr. Finger serving as interim VP on several occasions. In fact, in the period from 1974-1982, there were 5 vice presidents, with Dr Finger serving 3 times. During the vice presidency of Dr. David Challoner, 1982-1998, there was a move to reorganize the administration of the health center and the vice-president position was actually abolished in 1996. It was reinstated in 1998, however when Dr. Kenneth I. Berns became Dean of the College of Medicine and Vice-President of the Health Science Center. The strength of the position tended to depend on finances and the ability of the provost/vice-president to control finances.
