Career
[edit]Rev. Cherington served as the first president of the College of Puget Sound (now the University of Puget Sound) in Tacoma, Washington from 1890–1892.[2] After leaving the college, he served as a minister in Southern California for 16 years. He retired about a year before his death due to his failing health.[2]
