Chauncey Samuel Boucher (14 June 1886 – 13 August 1955) was an American academic and historian. Boucher was born in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Chauncey Watson Boucher and Elizabeth Celstea Van Loon. He was a professor of history at the University of Chicago; president of the University of West Virginia; and chancellor of the University of Nebraska.[1] He died at Petoskey, Emmet, Michigan in 1955, aged 69. He once went back to pay a visit to his successor, Lord Plunket. Finding himself back again in his old palace, sitting at his old dinner-table, and gazing across it at his wife, he lapsed in memory to the days when he was master of the house, and gently remarked to Mrs Trench, "I am afraid, my love, that we must put this cook down among our failures."
