I thoroughly enjoyed the mass as well as recommend it to anyone interested inwards what it takes to plough the dream of a modest liberal arts college into a reality. Bogue does a keen project of telling the improbable story of the extended community inwards as well as only about Steamboat Springs, CO, amongst a population of 2,500 at the time, joining together to constitute the establishment inwards 1962.
Bogue served equally the founding president as well as traveled widely to promote the vision of an establishment combining liberal arts as well as international awareness. Classes were held inwards diverse locations as well as enrollment grew during the early on years. Bogue's wellness deteriorated from the multiple stresses arising from recruiting students as well as communicating the college's story to foundations as well as anyone else who mightiness live on helpful.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 rapid succession of administrators followed Bogue's divergence as well as the name was alter to Colorado Alpine College inwards 1966. Tiring of the stuggle, the trustees sold the establishment as well as U.S.A. International University operated the campus for 4 years. Enrollment roughshod as well as the college unopen inwards 1975.
Concluding chapters encompass the efforts of a modest grouping that kept the thought alive, fighting political battles at the state level, to ultimately run into the the campus reopen inwards 1981 equally business office of Colorado Mountain College. After leaving Yampa Valley College, Bogue went on to earn a master's marker inwards creative writing from San Francisco State University. She taught inwards Nippon as well as Nicaragua as well as served a release of years equally dean of the Anna Head School inwards Oakland, CA. She passed away inwards 2011 at the historic menses of 93.
