| Introduction | Files maintained by the Vice President for University Advancement (also know at times as Vice President for Public Services and Vice President for University Relations). Duplication of materials in this collection is permitted for the purposes of preservation and research. Materials found in this collection may be duplicated in other University Archives collections and holdings. Access to confidential information is restricted. |
| Scope and Content | The first portion of this collection (boxes 1-12) are from mostly mid-1971 to mid-1973. Given the variety of titles and roles held by James Hof, they reflect some of the entirety of Mr. Hof's responsibilities, including his membership on the board of directors of Blue Cross and his role in public relations for the university. The second half of the collection (boxes 13-31) also reflect Mr. Hof's work as Vice President of Public Service, though the dates vary greatly and some items extend past Mr. Hof's service to BGSU. It is not know specifically what office these records came from, though possibly the Vice President for University Relations. Highlights of this second grouping include commencement planning files and a run of correspondence with the President from 1963-1978. The third set of records (boxes 32-39) are also believed to be from the same office and reflect additions to the collection in several batches. These files cover a wide scope of topics - annual reports, commencement files, Image task force meeting materials, accreditation, and WBGU-TV (the connection between WBGU and the Vice President for University Relations is unclear). Some of the materials in boxes 36-39 appear to have been the files of Richard Edwards, a Vice President and Assistant to the President. |
