Biographical / Historical
Claude N. Settles and Evelyn Settles were among the first workers at the University Camp established by the Recreation Department of the University of Colorado in 1920. The University Camp was established by CU faculty on Forest Service land west of Boulder, Colorado. Relocated at 9,500 feet elevation, the camp became the "Science Lodge" in 1921 and was formally recognized by the CU Board of Regents as the Institute of Artic and Alpine Research in 1951. Claude Settles guided tours to the Arapahoe Glacier and other sites. Evelyn Settles was the Camp's cook. Carolyn Settles Woodward, the daughter of the Settles, was one year old in 1921. She accompanied her parents to the Camp for the summers and stated that her mother would carry her on horseback to get supplies for the Camp.
