| Description |
Professor Boucher (CC class of 1918), Department of Physics, came to Colorado College as a student in 1915, initially borrowing tuition money from President Slocum. He describes the lab facilities in Palmer Hall and his work with wireless radios and soldiers on campus during WWI for radio school. After serving one year in the Army in the Signal Corps, Boucher went to graduate school, returning to his alma mater to teach physics from 1921 to 1924. Following a year as instructor at Rice University, he came back to Colorado College in 1925 and taught until his retirement in 1961. Professor Boucher is especially well known for his work in the field of photography. Professor Boucher talks about the Depression's effect on the College, salary cuts, building of Shove Chapel, Saturday Knights, Manly Ormes, Arthur Blakely, and Earl Bryson. He also discusses the publishing of his photography books and photographic travel.
