Henry Augustus Buchtel
The couple moved to Bulgaria where they served as missionaries from April until August 1873 when his wife's deteriorating health forced their return to the United States.Over the next twenty-six years, he served as pastor of congregations in Indiana, Colorado at Evans Chapel and Trinity Church, New York, and New Jersey.The new chancellor began fundraising immediately, and managed to retire the debts by August 1903 although the university's finances remained precarious for many years afterward.[3] Reviewing these efforts on behalf of the university, the Denver Post noted in 1924 that: In twenty years under Dr. Buchtel's guidance, $1,750,000 was raised on his personal appeal for its development and it stands today backed by 20,000 subscribers .[7] In 1988, the Buchtel Bungalow, located at 2100 S. Columbine St. just two blocks east of the University of Denver campus, was listed with the National Register of Historic Places.
