According to the Casper Morning Star, Cheyenne Business College was incorporated in the early 1890s.[1] A biography of founder Daniel C. Royer says he first established the college in 1896, abandoned it to take classes at another institution, then re-established the college circa 1901.[2]

A 1903 U.S. Office of Education report listed Cheyenne Business College as having two instructors and 72 students, with Royer as the college's executive officer.[3]

On May 24, 1930, A. W. Johnston School of Business in Billings, Montana announced that they had purchased Cheyenne Business College to run as a second school, according to The Billings Gazette.[4]

According to a 1994 almanac, the college closed in the 1930s in the wake of the Great Depression.[5]

Basketball

Cheyenne Business College had a men's basketball team at least as early as 1903.[6] According to newspapers from the time, the Cheyenne team held the championship of Nebraska, Colorado, and Wyoming in 1903 and 1904.[7][8]

In November 1904, John Nolan, who played as center for Cheyenne, died in a train accident.[9]

On January 18, 1907, Cheyenne defeated the visiting Wyoming Cowboys by a score of 72–16, which remains the largest margin of defeat in University of Wyoming history Шаблон:As of Wyoming's media guide lists 1 win and 6 losses to Cheyenne Business College between the 1906–07 season and the 1909–10 season.[10]
