Thing of the past ...
Henry Augustus Buchtel (September 30, 1847 – October 22, 1924) was an American minister, educator, and Methodist public official. He was the seventeenth governor of Colorado.
In 1899, Buchtel was chosen as chancellor of the University of Denver, officially assuming his duties in January 1900.
In September 1906, after the Republican Party's nominee for governor, Phillip B. Stewart, withdrew from the race, a group of party officials, Franklin Brooks, George Stidger, and John F. Vivian, decided to offer the nomination to Chancellor Buchtel. Before accepting the trio's proposal to fill the vacancy on the ballot, Buchtel requested their promises that he would have absolute independence if elected. With their assurances, Buchtel became the Republican nominee. He was elected governor of Colorado in November and served one term from 1907 until 1909, while continuing to handle his duties as chancellor.
A stroke in September 1920 forced Dr. Buchtel to resign his position as chancellor the following December.
