Description
Greely Institute Catalogue and Circular 1901–1902 provides class lists and general information for Greely Institute for the academic year beginning August 26, 1901, and ending May 17, 1902. Greely Institute, in Cumberland, Maine, was established through the generosity of Eliphalet and Elizabeth Greely. Eliphalet Greely (1784–1858) was a sea captain, businessman, bank president, state bank commissioner, member of the Maine Legislature and mayor of Portland. His will left $27,500 to the Town of Cumberland, with $6,000 for construction of Greely Institute, which opened Sept. 28, 1868. The Corporation of the Trustees of Greely Institute was dissolved in July 1953 after a Town Meeting vote to establish a free high school. Greely Institute is now known as Greely High School and is part of Maine School Administrative District #51.
