"DOC" Boyer

Earl Boyer, or “Doc” as he is affectionately known, says he has long been concerned about modern man’s reliance on science and technology.

The long-time Freeport, Illinois veterinarian doesn’t believe technology will solve the earth’s pressing environmental problems — that “unless we start recovering natural things more, it will damage us.”

Concerned about the increasing specialization of science, Earl funded the Colloquium series to bring awareness to students and citizens of the interaction and importance of ethics and economics to environmental concerns.
