Synopsis

Excerpt from Commemorative Exercises Upon the Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Hopkins Grammar School of New Haven, 1660-1910

Mr. Cheever was one of the founders of New Haven, and rightly belonged to New Haven. His removal to Massachu setts, after twelve years' service here, was an irreparable loss to our city. If he had not become involved. In an unfortunate affair with the First Church,9 which resulted in his departure from New Haven, he would very likely have been the first rector of the Hopkins Grammar School. Under his rectorship, the school would have started with a reputation for scholarship and discipline that it could not get under George Pardee, who was willing to do what he was able, but admitted that he had lost much of what learning he had formerly attained.
