Collection Scope and Contents Summary
This collection comprises papers of L.E. Cox and Brad Atwood, two of the first administrative employees at the University
of California, Irvine. L.E. Cox was the first employee at UC Irvine, named Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance after
originally setting up an office in the Irvine family home as Business and Finance Officer. H. Bradford (Brad) Atwood relocated
to Orange County upon hearing that a University of California campus would be established there. After Dan Aldrich was named
chancellor of UC Irvine, he appointed Atwood as the first Public Affairs Officer on May 1, 1963, eventually serving as Assistant
Chancellor for University Relations (later known as University Communications). Material in the collection includes autobiographical
material written by Atwood, a site dedication brochure, newspaper clippings, the first issue of the UCItems newsletter, a
chronology of UC Irvine historical events written by Atwood, and records from Cox regarding development of housing and personnel
on campus. All material by Atwood was given to Cox for incorporation into the University Archives at UC Irvine.
