He held the second rank at graduation, delivering the Salutatory Oration. He devoted himself to the work of teaching, and from 1822 to 1826 filled a tutorship in Yale. In 1828 he became a teacher in the New Haven Gymnasium, conducted by Sereno E. Dwight (Yale 1803) and his brother, and was there brought into intimate relations with Ethan A. Andrews (Yale 1810), which resulted in their combining to publish a Latin Grammar, which first appeared in 1836, and attained a wonderful circulation. Later he returned to Northampton, and early in 1838 he accepted the chair of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in Middlebury College, Vermont, vacated by the death of Professor Edward Turner (Yale 1818). On May 29, 1838, he married Frances Elizabeth Greenwood, of Northampton. Later in the same year he was transferred to the chair of Latin and Greek, which he retained until his death, in Northampton, on November 11, 1847, at the age of 47. His children were two daughters and three sons. —Franklin Bowditch Dexter, Biographical Notices of Graduates of Yale College (New Haven, Connecticut, 1913), pp. 64-65.
