George Kelso Davis was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on July 2, 1910. He attended Pennsylvania State University and was
awarded the B.S. degree in Agricultural and Biological Chemistry in 1932. He received a Ph.D. in Animal Science from Cornell
University in 1937. After four years as a faculty member at Michigan State University, Davis came to the University of Florida
in 1942. He was appointed Animal Nutritionist in the Agricultural Experiment Station in Gainesville and was largely responsible
for the expansion of the Nutrition Laboratory. Davis is probably best known for his work on trace element nutrition and was
a pioneer in the utilization of radioactive isotopes in the study of trace element nutrition. These studies had a major impact
on Florida's cattle industry.
In 1960, Davis was appointed Director of Nuclear Sciences with the responsibility of coordinating and administering nuclear
programs in six colleges. He served in that capacity until 1965 when he was appointed Director of Biological Sciences and
was a key player in the restructuring of the programs. In 1970, he was named Director of Sponsored Research and held that
position until 1975. He retired from the University in 1979.
Correspondence, reports, research notes and data, speeches, writings, and memoranda. The papers reflect his administrative
and research activity throughout his tenure at UF. In particular, there are numerous files pertaining to the Nutrition Laboratory,
Nuclear Sciences, Biological Sciences, and Sponsored Research at UF. The collection also contains important materials related
to his professional activities outside the University. These include records related to the International Biological Programme,
the American Institute for Nutrition, congressional legislation, scientific organizations, and his work with animal nutritionists
in Latin America.
Collection is open for research.
Photographs of Davis with the Florida Nuclear Commission, the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology, and
a joint project between UF and the University of Costa Rica are located in the UF Archives Photograph Collection.

This series contains correspondence, reports, and minutes of meetings related to Davis's tenures as Director of Biological
Sciences and Director of Sponsored Research, as well as his work on various university committees. The latter include the
Veterinary College Planning Committee, the National Science Foundation Development Grant Review Board, and records related
to the Urolithiasis Specialized Center on Research and a proposal for a Florida Center of Nuclear Science and Industrial Development.
Also included is a small selection of materials related to the Department of Animal Science. Administrative records related
to his position as Director of Nuclear Sciences can be found in the Nuclear Sciences series of this collection. Files are
arranged alphabetically.

|
|
This series contains documents related to the IBP, which was established by the International Council of Scientific Unions
in 1964 and ended in 1974. Davis served as a member of the U.S. National Committee (USNC), which oversaw American participation
in the IBP, and was a member of the governing body of IBP, the Special Committee (SCIBP). He was Convener of the Use and Management
of Biological Resources (UM) Section throughout its existence and Chair of the U.S. subcommittee related to that section.
The series provides extensive documentation of the IBP and these sections and committees. Records include project reports,
correspondence, project proposals, meeting minutes, and records related to the IBP's General Assemblies.

This series pertains to Davis's activity in numerous non-University committees and organizations. The Federation of American
Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB), the International Union of Nutritional Sciences (IUNS), the Institute for Nutrition
(for which he served as president in 1975-1976), and the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) are well documented.
Davis also was active in the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences. His participation in two projects
in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) - the Biotechnology and Human Factors Subgroup of the Working
Group on Extra-Terrestrial Resources and the Manned Orbital Research Laboratory (Biosatellite) - are extensively represented
as well.
