Ezekiel Cheever Schoolmaster PDF Download

Excerpt from Ezekiel Cheever, Schoolmaster I thought I knew something of Cheever myself. In one of the Prize Books, Mr. Benjamin A. Gould, the head master of the Latin School after 1816, had given a little sketch of Cheever's career; and as schoolboys in that old school we knew of his Accz'dence, and that he was one of the heroes of the school. I graduated at that school in 1835. The exhibition exercises of our class marked the second centennial anniversary of the school. In 1840 the Latin School Association was formed, of which I have now the honor to be Presi dent. I was the first Secretary of that Society and I edited its first catalogue. It thus became my pleasant duty to find what I then could of Cheever's life, and I like to acknowledge here the help which I received from that distinguished historian, Mr. Samuel Francis Haven, the accomplished Librarian of the American Antiquarian Society.
