He served as Governor from January 20, 1953 to December 30, 1960, when he resigned because of his upcoming U.S. Senate term.
 
He graduated from the [[University of Delaware]] in 1931 with an A.B. degree<ref>{{Cite book |last=Mayer |first=Michael S. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dIhZxpoZVIQC |title=The Eisenhower Years |publisher=Facts On File, Incorporated |year=2010 |pages=51 |isbn=9781438119083 |via=Google Books}}</ref> and later graduated from [[Georgetown Law School]] in 1937<ref name=":0" /> with an LLB degree.<ref name=":0" />

== Career ==
Boggs lost his bid for a third term in 1972 to Democrat [[Joe Biden]], then a [[New Castle County, Delaware#County government|New Castle County Councilman]]. Boggs was a reluctant candidate that year, being persuaded to run only to help avoid a divisive primary election. Biden waged an energetic campaign and went on to defeat Boggs by approximately 1.4 percentage points. In his last years Boggs lived in Wilmington, Delaware where he continued the practice of law.
In 1938, he was admitted to the [[Delaware State Bar Association]] and began the practice of law at [[Dover, Delaware]].<ref name=":0" />

==Death and legacy==

===U.S. House of Representatives===
Among the many tributes received by his fellow Senators was the following from U.S. Senator [[Robert Byrd]] of West Virginia:
Boggs was appointed Associate Judge of the Family Court of New Castle County in 1946. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1946, defeating incumbent [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] U.S. Representative [[Philip A. Traynor]]. He won the election a total of three times, also defeating Democrats J. Carl McGuigan in 1948, and Henry M. Winchester in 1950. Boggs served in the U.S. House from January 3, 1947, to January 3, 1953.
 
===Governor of Delaware===
{{cquote|On an objective, senatorial level, Senator Boggs was a militant, but rational [[environmentalism|environmentalist]]. A co-sponsor of the [[National Air Quality Standards Act of 1970]], Senator Boggs helped to win congressional approval of this bill, which was signed into law by [[Richard M. Nixon|President Nixon]]. Further, Cale Boggs was a co-sponsor and helped to write the [[Water Quality Act of 1965]]. In 1970, Senator Boggs helped to strengthen State authority to prohibit sewage and pesticide discharge into rivers and lakes and to provide for coordinated Federal attacks on river and lake pollution in the [[Water Quality Act of 1970]].

Boggs was elected Governor of Delaware in 1952, defeating incumbent Democratic Governor [[Elbert N. Carvel]], and won a second term in 1956, defeating Democrat J. H. Tyler McConnell.

===U.S. Senate===
Through those and other vital contributions in education, medicine, agriculture, transportation, and other domestic concerns, Senator Boggs left an enviable record of legislation aimed at improving the quality of life of all Americans and at widening opportunities for all of our citizens. But, above all, Cale Boggs will probably be best remembered by his friends still serving in the Senate and by the people of Delaware as a friend, a man of warm humanity, and as a gentleman who sought ever to set people at ease through his common touch and deep consideration of other people's feelings. Cale Boggs was a man whose friendship one easily sought and, once secured, was long treasured.}}
