PRESIDENT BOUCHER 7 HE STUDENT BODY of West Virginia feels indeed fortunate in having as its head Dr. Chauncey Samuel Boucher, who, in his one year at the University has put forth portions of his educational theories, and at the same time has retained and even developed the Mountaineer Spirit. Coming to West Virginia from the University of Chicago where he served as dean of the college of Arts, Literature and Science, Dr. Boucher brought with him a reputation of being an authority on education and college reorganization. He is also well known as an author of several books and articles, a majority of them being relative to educational problems. The new president was born in Chicago, June 14, 1886. He attended the Uuniversity of Michigan, graduating in 1909 with an A. B. degree. The following year he received a Masters degree. After studying at Harvard for one year and returning to Michigan he was awarded a Ph. D. degree. He was associate professor of history from 1914 to 1919 at Washing- ton university; associate professor of American history at Ohio State univer- sity in 1919-20; professor of American history at the University of Texas, 1920-23; professor of American history, University of Chicago, since 1923, and dean of the College of Arts, Literature and Science since 1925. From 1928 to 1932, he was vice chairman of the board of review of the committee on institutions of higher education of the North Central As- sociation of Colleges and Secondary Schools; member of the American His- torical association, president of the Mississippi Valley Historical association; member of the Progressive Education associations committee on the relation of Schools and colleges, National society for the Study of Education, Phi Beta Kappa, Pi Gamma Nu, Theta Delta Chi. The general good-will created by the presence of Dr. Boucher in one year is indeed gratifying. The Monticola, sincerely expresses hopes for many similar prosperous years in the future for West Virginia University, and especially for the man himself as long as he is in any way affiliated with W. V. U., or any other field of service. He has proven himself to be an integral part of the Mountaineer institution!
