After receiving the A.B. degree from Yale University in 1870, William H. Welch helped to organize a new school in Norwich, NY and taught there for an academic year. German and Cicero were among the courses he taught. At the end of the school term, he decided to follow family tradition and become a physician. He returned to Norfolk and served as an apprentice to his father.
