Namesake
The building was dedicated in honor of Isaac B. Poucher, who served as the principal of the college 1897-1913, and his wife, Matilda Cooper Poucher, a teacher at the school from 1831 to 1886. Isaac Poucher, who previously served under Sheldon, continued to lead the school in a positive direction, earning the school a gold medal in scholastic excellence at Paris’ Exposition Universelle Internationale in 1900. Matilda Poucher led an exemplary career in her own right, serving as a teacher of literature for 15 years. She also served as the right-hand to Sheldon, stepping in temporarily when Sheldon fell ill.
