The New Haven Restaurant Institute was founded by the New Haven Restaurant Association, with the assistance of culinary educator Frances Roth and Katharine Angell in New Haven, Connecticut.

Roth became the first Administrative Director, and Angell became the first President and Chairman of the Board, serving from 1946 to 1966. She built the school's relations with New Haven and especially close ties with Yale University.[2] The first graduating class consisted of

fifty students and three faculty: a dietitian, a baker, and a chef.[3]
Originally housed in a storefront in New Haven, the school moved in 1947. With assistance from Yale University, the school purchased the Davies mansion in New Haven's Prospect Hill neighborhood,[1] spending

$75,000. Betts House, also known as the John M. Davies House or Davies Mansion, is a mansion owned by Yale University in the Prospect Hill Historic District of New Haven, Connecticut. The earliest residences in the Prospect Hill neighborhood were built in the 1860s, when Oliver

Winchester, Othneil Marsh, and John M. Davies all built mansions on the same block north of Edwards Street.[4] Winchester, founder of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company located just down the hill, was the first to complete his mansion, an Italian villa designed by Henry

Austin, which was later replaced by the Sterling Divinity Quadrangle. The Winchester Repeating Arms Company was a prominent American maker of repeating firearms, located in New Haven, Connecticut. The Winchester brand is today owned by the Olin Corporation and the name is

used under license by two subsidiaries of the Herstal Group: Fabrique Nationale (FN) of Belgium and the Browning Arms Company of Ogden, Utah, United States. He formed the Western Cartridge Company in 1898 to manufacture ammunition; during World War I he diversified into

brassmaking for use in cartridge shells. In 1931 Olin acquired the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. His management of the several inter-related businesses has been described as "autocratic," characterized by close personal management of the enterprise and a fairly secretive

attitude toward sales information and trade secrets, due especially to the businesses' rivalry with DuPont.[1] In 1944 (after World War II), the businesses consolidated into a single "Olin Industries," and Olin retired from management of the firm, leaving it to his sons John and

Spencer.
