Sam Proctor, UF’s historian and distinguished service professor emeritus of history, died on July 10 at his Gainesville home. Proctor spent almost 70 years on campus, starting as a freshman in 1937, earning his PhD in history and teaching thousands of students as a faculty member. “Who among us who raise pens or touch keyboards in service to Florida history has not known his guidance, his encouragement, his persuasion, perhaps even his goading?” says Michael Gannon, UF distinguished service professor emeritus of history, a longtime friend and colleague (Cover Photo Courtesy Gainesville Sun)
