H. Trevor Colbourn was
the second president of Florida Technological University and the first
president of the University of Central Florida because he was responsible for
the name change. Dr. Colbourn served from 1978 to 1989, and during that time,
he established the football program, honors program, Institute of Simulation
and Training, and Central Florida Research Park. The collection of
correspondence, reports, memoranda, photographs and pamphlets not only covers
the period of his presidency but also his earlier research interests and
subsequent service to the university as Professor of History and University
Historian. Included in these materials are earlier documents created by Dr.
Colbourn's predecessor, Dr. Charles N. Millican.

Acquisition Information
Small amounts of materials were transferred by Dr. Colbourn in 2004
and 2005 then the majority of the materials were transferred in 2006.
Processing History
A fading fax was retyped and printed on
acid-neutral paper. Photographs were removed to the University Photographs
Collection unless context dictated that they remain in the collection, and
audio visual materials were removed to the Audio Visual Collection. News
clippings were separated from other documents by acid neutral paper. Some
publications were removed for cataloging. An oversize proclamation was scanned
and printed and may be found in Certificates and Plaques with a digital file
also available. Rusted paper clips were removed and replaced with plastic
clips. All materials were rehoused in pH neutral folders and boxes. Duplicates
were removed and social security numbers were obliterated. Little rearrangement
was required as the records were in good order. Only changes necessary to make
the structure clearer were carried out.
Access
The entire collection is open for research.
Related Material
Other records covering Dr. Colbourn's presidency may be found in the
Office of the President Records. Similar materials concerning the university's
other presidents are held in individual collections under their own names. For
more information on the seal see the History of the University Seal Collection.
Transcripts of the oral history project compiled by Colbourn are held in the
University Archives. The University Photographs Collection and Audio Visual
Collection also have additional information about Dr. Colbourn's
presidency.

Biographical/Historical Note
H. Trevor Colbourn was born in Armidale, New South Wales, Australia
on 24 February 1927, but moved to England as a child. Known by his second name,
Trevor Colbourn earned his BA at the University of London then moved to the
United States of America in 1948 to further his education at the College of
William and Mary; finally earning his Ph.D. in American History at Johns
Hopkins in 1953. In 1949, Colbourn married Beryl Evans and they eventually had
two daughters.
Dr. Colbourn taught at Penn State and Indiana University in
Bloomington before moving into administration. In 1967, he became Graduate Dean
at the University of New Hampshire. In 1973 he was appointed Academic Vice
President of San Diego State University and eventually served as Acting
President from 1977-1978 before becoming President of Florida Technological
University in 1978.
As President, Colbourn's first action was to implement the
university's name change to the University of Central Florida. During his
tenure, enrollment increased sixty percent to more than 18,000 students, and
the university implemented one of the first telephone registration systems in
the country. Dr. Colbourn established the College of Arts and Sciences, the
Undergraduate Studies Office, the Football program and the Honors Program.
Under his guidance, the university gained its first stand alone doctoral
programs in Computer Science, Business Administration and Psychology (Human
Factors). New programs were implemented in Hospitality Management, Special
Education, Aerospace Engineering, Information Systems Technology and Computer
Technology, and master's degree programs were also expanded. Research increased
with the creation of the Center for Research in Electro-Optics and Lasers, the
Institute for Simulation and Training, the Sinkhole Institute and the Central
Florida Research Park. Unusually for a university president, Dr. Colbourn tried
to teach one course per year.
The campus increased in size with the building of the Wayne Densch
Sports Center, the establishment of Greek Park, the extension of the library,
an increase in the numbers of dormitories, and the construction of new
buildings for the Fine Arts and the Colleges of Business Administration and
Engineering. Additionally, the Arena, the Student Union and the Barbara Ying
Center were planned. Regional Campuses gained the Lifelong Learning Center at
Brevard Campus and the Daytona Beach Joint Use Facility.
After retiring as president, Dr. Colbourn returned to teaching history
full-time at the university. In 1990, he earned the title President Emeritus
and assumed the role of University Historian in 1991. As part of the latter
appointment, he compiled an oral history of the university. Dr. Colbourn wrote
extensively on the American Revolutionary period and his books may be found in
the university library. Among his many appointments, Dr. Colbourn served as
State Representative for the American Association of State Colleges and
Universities from 1983 to 1986, President of the Florida Association of
Colleges and Universities in 1985, Chairman of the Air University Board of
Visitors, and Chairman of the Douglass Adair Memorial Prize Committee. He also
served on the Board of Directors of the Greater Orlando Chamber of Commerce,
Economic Development Commission of Mid-Florida, United Way of Orange County,
Florida Endowment Fund for Higher Education, and the UCF/Orlando Shakespeare
Festival. Despite his third retirement from the university in 2006, Dr.
Colbourn continues to support the university of which he has been a vital part
for almost thirty years.
Collection Scope and Content
The records are arranged in six series following the main
organizational structures of the university. To aid research, the series have
the same names as those found in the Office of the President Records even
though the titles of Vice Presidents and Associate Vice Presidents changed over
time. Folders are usually arranged in chronological order from the back.
Many of the materials in this collection were created by Dr.
Colbourn's predecessor, Dr. Charles N. Millican. This situation occurred
because the same executive secretary, Miss Mildred Kennedy, served the first
three presidents. First retiring during the tenure of the third president,
Kennedy returned to serve as Dr. Colbourn's secretary. Materials, therefore,
remained with the creating office until it was finally closed when they both
retired in 2006.
Series I: State University System, 1965-1995 contains materials that
document the broad scope of the State University System, the entity governed by
the Board of Regents from 1965 to 2001. It shows both Dr. Colbourn's and Dr.
Millican's work with the State University System. Most of these records were
created in connection with audits or by the Chancellor's office.
Series II: Academic Affairs, 1967-2003 holds records concerning the
academic life of the University. This series includes documents about
individual colleges, branch campuses, faculty, research, Undergraduate Studies,
Extended Studies, the library and WUCF. Materials of interest include
individual department files, the Sinkhole Research Institute, Center for
Research in Electro-Optics and Lasers (CREOL) and the Florida Solar Energy
Center.
Series III: Student Affairs, 1967-2003 contains materials that relate
to aspects of university life that fell under the auspices of the Associate
Vice-President for Student Affairs or that directly interested students. This
series includes information about housing, health services, recreational
services, orientation, financial aid, Homecoming, and international students.
Information on Student Government, Greek life and other student associations
may also be found here.
Series IV: University Relations, 1973-2003 holds materials concerning
the university's relationships with outside individuals and companies. Many of
the materials in this series relate to the Foundation that raises money for the
University. Other materials document alternative sources of funding and ways of
marketing the university including relationships with alumni, community members
and leaders.
Series V: Administration and Finance, 1966-1996 contains material that
shows the variety of subjects monitored by this division. It oversaw such
diverse matters as personnel, physical planning, policing, and safety as well
as the university's finances.
Series VI: President's Office, 1948-2005 holds materials relating to
matters in which the president was directly involved. Within the university,
the name change, strategic planning, construction, commencement, Central
Florida Research Park and the football program are all major topics. In the
community, the president was involved with the chamber of commerce, local
donors, the Atlantic Center for the Arts and built relationships during many
special events. Statewide, the president necessarily dealt with all aspects of
government as well as state associations and other universities and colleges.
Nationally, the president was involved with educational organizations. Finally,
this series documents Dr. Colbourn's research interests and his activities
after his tenure as president. A few files were also created by Dr.
Millican.

Series II: Academic Affairs,
1967-2003.
5.75 Boxes
Series II contains correspondence, reports, notes and pamphlets
that shows how the University functioned academically. The materials are
arranged in several subseries to help limit searches for relevant information.
Files are arranged alphabetically within each subseries. Each College has its
own subseries; the College of Natural Sciences became part of the new College
of Arts and Sciences so is included in that subseries. The College of
Engineering retraining project, named RETRO, was an attempt to retrain space
industry workers for other jobs. Branch Campuses follow, and then Research,
which includes Graduate Studies as they formed one division during this period.
Faculty files provide information about individual senior administrators as
well as general information about the faculty's relationship with the
university. Undergraduate Studies and Extended Studies form their own
subseries. Finally, "University Affairs" was selected as a general title to
encompass academic activities that did not fall readily into other subseries.
Of particular interest in this series is information on the
dedication several structures. The dedication of Driggers Field may be found in
the College of Arts and Sciences folders; the dedication of the Computer
Science building in 1996 is documented in the Computer Science folder; the
dedication of the
Flame of Hope is recorded in the
Library folder; the dedication of a solar-powered highway sign built on the
Beachline in 1988 is documented in the Florida Solar Energy Center folders. A
photograph of Dr. Millican, Dr. Colbourn, Dr. Steven Altman and
Buell Duncan sitting on a pile of paper money is
held in the SunBank Chair in Banking folder. The filming of
Superboy on campus is documented in
the Film folder.

1.75 Boxes
Series III holds correspondence, reports, and memoranda that give
some indication of matters that concern students. The folders are arranged in
alphabetical order. The Child Care Center is now known as the Creative School
and the Developmental Center is now Counseling and Testing. The Village Center
was the center of student activity and is the building now known as Ferrell
Commons. Faculty files show some of the matters in which they became directly
involved as well as more individual concerns of
LeVester Tubbs,
Carol Wilson, and
W. Rex Brown. An oversize photograph shows Dr.
Colbourn with students outside the Education building.
Homecoming files contain information about the first homecoming
and the first football homecoming. Dedication of the John T. Washington Center
is documented in this series. Of interest is the concern over student
demonstrations in the late 1960s, which led to administrators writing a policy
to cover such eventualities. Students objected to restrictions on Visitation,
i.e., male and female students visiting each other's rooms, while
administrators were concerned to uphold moral standards.

organize an institution and how those needs varied over time. Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action files document the concern of the university to
ensure equal access to work and education as well as information about the
achievements of
Carol D. Surles. "Direct Reporting Files" was
selected as the title for a group of files relating to individuals who reported
directly to the president, such as, legal counsel, auditor, and executive
assistant. A few of Dr. Millican's files had clearly been stored separately and
the arrangement has been maintained.
Subject Files,
1963-2004.
Subject files cover a variety of topics that involved the
president not only within the university but also in the community, the state
and in education. Strategic planning, construction, commencement, Central
Florida Research Park, and the Shakespeare Festival are all topics of
particular importance. Files labelled "Black Students" mostly concern the Black
Student Union. Citizens Advisory Council was the council of community leaders
established to help Dr. Millican found the university. Sample letters include
early copies of the staff newspaper
Accent, and correspondence on a
variety of topics thought by Dr. Colbourn's office to be useful in the future.
Further information about the UCF Fight Song may be found in the 1983 Football
folders within the Athletics Files subseries. Congress files hold
correspondence with members of the US Congress. Copyright files hold
information about the Knight and the Seal. Further information about the seal
may be found under "official seal". Faculty events include photographs of
faculty receptions in the multi-purpose room during Dr. Millican's tenure as
president. The files on the governor include commemorative materials for
Reuben Askew's inauguration. James C. Robinson
History of UCF has old copies relating to early funding and later materials
such as the Dr. Millican Chair of Computer Science. Materials documenting the
name change from Florida Technological University to the University of Central
Florida are very significant for the university's history. Orange County
folders contain a resolution by the Board of Regents thanking Orange County for
helping to found Florida Technological University. Phillips Foundation files
include the dedication of Howard Phillips Hall. President's Advisory Staff
Meetings files include meetings by several different groups including early
staff meeting minutes from 1966. The folder entitled "Sex" includes a variety
of topics including classes on human sexuality, gay rights, art and x-rated
movies. Mrs. Colbourn initiated the Town and Gown Council, and some information
about this organization is held here.
