Charles Horace Clapp was born on June 5, 1883 in Boston, Massachussets, United States. He was the youngest of the six children of Peleg Ford and Mary Lincoln (Manson) Clapp. He was descended from Thomas Clap, a native of Dorchester, England, who emigrated to America and was living in Dorchester, Massachussets, in 1634. Before he was ten his parents had died and he was reared by an elder sister.
He attended the English High School in Boston and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, graduating there with the degree of B. S. in 1905. At the same time he pursued his graduate studies and in the latter year received the degree of Ph. D. His thesis was based upon an investigation of the igneous rocks of Essex County, Massachussets He withheld its publication in order to carry out the elaborate chemical and petrographic research he considered essential to its completion. When it was finally published in 1921 it appeared as Bulletin 704 of the United States Geological Survey.
He served for two years as instructor in geology at the University of North Dakota. He was also appointed assistant state geologist and from the data he collected in his surveys he published three papers on the clays of the state. Returning to Massachusetts, he was an instructor in geology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1907 to 1910. Beginning in the summer of 1908, Clapp was with the Geological Survey of Canada, becoming a regular member of the staff after his graduation in 1910. His work with this group was mainly in the area comprising Vancouver Island and the Queen Charlotte group, and his twenty-two reports, based upon laboratory and field work, form a part of the standard geological literature of that region. Leaving the survey Clapp went to the University of Arizona in 1913 as head of the department of geology. Soon afterward, he also became an assistant geologist with the United States Geological Survey, an appointment he retained until 1925. During his three years in the University, he became increasingly involved in administrative duties, and in order to devote himself more exclusively to his professional work he left Arizona in 1916 to become head of the department of geology at the Montana School of Mines at Butte. Here during the war years he threw himself wholeheartedly into the work of prospecting the state for minerals needed in the prosecution of the war. After the war, in 1919, he was instrumental in securing a state Bureau of Mines and Metallurgy, which was virtually a geological survey for the state, to be administered by the School of Mines. Though his geological work suffered, Clapp managed to continue his researches and at the time of his death was contemplating a study of the stresses that produced the Rocky Mountains. As a geologist he was infinitely painstaking and thorough. These qualities, combined with his superior knowledge of the science, gave him a preëminence in the field, and he was able to solve some of the most complicated geological problems in the areas in which he worked. His endurance on difficult field trips was phenomenal. Death came to him prematurely in his fifty-second year.
Clapp was appointed its first director and vigorously instituted a survey of the mineral resources of the state and the topographic mapping of the region. Clapp's unusual abilities as an administrator were soon recognized at the School of Mines. In 1918 he became acting president and in 1919 president of the school, and in 1921 he was persuaded to accept the presidency of the Montana State University at Missoula, of which the School of Mines was a part. He retained that position until his death. During his incumbency, largely through his efforts, the physical equipment of the University was greatly expanded and a state millage law was passed for the support of institutions of higher learning.

Clapp was a large man, of tremendous energy and strength.
His wife was Mary Brennan, to whom he was married at Devils Lake on April 19, 1911. She with eight children, Daniel, Michael, Mary, Francis, Lucy, Prudence, Paul, and Margaret, survived him.
