Executive Committee W. G. Evans A. L. Doud F. J. Chamberlin R. H. Beggs J. C. Shattuck A. E. Reynolds Earl M. Cranston Historical Data The historical data here presented are the justification of the statement of the Colorado Supreme Court, that this is “the pioneer school of higher learning in this State. The charter of the Colorado Seminar)’ was granted by the territorial legislature at Golden, on the 5th of March, in 1864. In the fall of that year, the work of instruction was commenced under the direction of the Reverend George Richardson. That was ten years before any similar work was begun elsewhere in the Rocky Mountain region. In 1880 the Colorado Seminary developed into the University of Denver. The Colorado Seminary is now. and will always be. the property-holding corporation, for the reason that no other educational charter so liberal in its terms has ever been given in Colorado. The degrees are given by the corporation known as the University of Denver. The institution is therefore known as the University of Denver and Colorado Seminary. With the Fall Quarter of 1909, the University enters upon its forty-sixth academic year. The first university degrees conferred in Colorado were given by this institution in April of 1882. 6

 Henry Augustus Buchtel, A. M., D. D., L. L. D. Chancellor Henry Augustus Buchtel was bom near Akron, Ohio, on September 30, 1847. His early education was received for the most part in private schools at South Bend, Indiana. One year was spent at Asbury University, then several years were devoted to business. Later with a view of becoming a minister he returned to Asbury University and received his A. B. degree in 1872. Shortly after graduation he was married and went as a missionary to Bulgaria, but remained there for a short time only. In succession he held pastorates in Zionville. Green Castle, Knightstown, Richmond, and Lafayette, lnd.; Denver, Colo.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Mt. Vernon, and East Orange, N. Y. In 1899 he became Chancellor of the University of Denver. By a vigorous campaign mortgage encumbrances and other debts were cleared from the property. From 1907 to 1909 he held the office of Governor of Colorado. The honorary degrees of D-D. and L.L.D. were conferred by his Alma Mater in 1884 and 1900 respectively. x
