Excerpt from The Journal of the Cincinnati Society of Natural History, Vol. 5

The winter of 1843 found young Chickering an eager pupil in the Appleton Institute, a good classical and scientific academy, in his native township. Not having money to pay for his tuition, he gave honest work for useful education. Part of the time he rang the academy bell, and may we not believe that a task so regular helped to fix upon him the habits of punctuality and regularity which became the very wings of his success in later years. He could never tolerate tardiness or neglect of set duties.
