Two of the number were born in Cambridge, and five were Boston boys. Sixteen were born under town-meeting rule, and received their first impressions of community government in that way, while the six who were born under municipal charter government were familiar in early life only with the simple workings of Massachusetts cities in the period before the war. Three of our mayors were born in the eighteenth century, and one was born one hundred and

the noble river and its broad estuary set in, out of which is fast coming the fulfillment of its destiny as the most beautiful water-park in America. The general discussion of Charles River questions led to the creation of a special commission (1891) charged with inquiring into and reporting upon the proper treatment for the public weal of the historic stream. This was followed by the recommendations of the Metropolitan Park Commission, a new body, created in 1892 to supplement the work of Bs. The new bridge, fittingly named from the college to which its connecting avenue leads, was finished in 1890, but, awaiting the settlement of a question of crossing the location of the Grand Junction Railroad, was not opened to public use until 1891. After the opening of the bridge and its avenue, renewed progress was made under this encouragement, with the extension of their sea-wall and the covering of their submerged lands by the Embankment Company. It remained for Cambridge to take the

lay out, construct, and maintain Cushing, Grove, Washington, and Adams streets, and Concord Avenue, from Adams Street to Fresh Pond Avenue, and for laying out, grading, embellishing, and maintaining the grounds around Fresh Pond, and pay for the same out of the surplus water rates, after paying all interest on bonds, current expenses, and providing for the sinking fund, three per cent. as required by law. 3. Under this authority the Street Department put Concord Turnpike in good repair in 1891, at an expense of $12,400. In 1892, the Street Department widened Adams, Washington, Grove, and Cushing streets, and put them in good order, at an expense of $10,000. In 1893, two iron bridges were built on Huron Street extension, and the work of grading and making the street from the railroad to Cushing Street has been done, or is nearly completed, by the Street Department, at an expense of $27,022. Besides this, the Street Department has taken many thousand loads of gravel from land bought

I may safely assert, she continues, that among these college students were the healthiest women, both physically and mentally, that I have ever met. This emphatic testimony is supported by the experience of Radcliffe College. Our record closes as the third stage in the history of Radcliffe opens. It is an interesting point. It finds the college strong in the affections of a bod

ssion of Mr. John Ford, in February of that year. In January, 1855, the office was removed to the corner of Main and Temple streets, and in 1858 Mr. George Fisher purchased the Chronicle and conducted it until 1873, when he sold the property to Mr. Linn Boyd Porter, under whose charge it remained until 1886, when it was purchased by Mr. F. Stanhope Hill. Four years later, in 1890, Mr. Hill bought the Tribune and sold the Chronicle to Mr. F. H. Buffum, but the property returned to Mr. Hill in 1891, and he then sold it to the present proprietors, J. W. Bean and C. B. Seagrave, who have since added a job printing establishment to the plant and made it a prosperous business enterprise at 753 Main Street. In April, 1866, Mr. James Cox, a practical printer in Boston, established the Cambridge Press, at first as an independent paper, although the publisher was then identified with the Democratic party. But in 1872, when General Grant was nominated for a second term, the Press fell into t

y-school. But a more distinct mention should here be made of two institutions whose work is of many kinds, but which give the most prominent place to direct religious service and services. The first is the Young Men's Christian Association, which was organized in 1883, and which has a large and vigorous membership. Its influence will be greatly enlarged when it enters the new building which is at once to be erected. The other is the Young Women's Christian Association, which was formed in 1891. The name indicates its purpose, and its purpose and achievement justify its name. It is doing a broad and much needed work for young women. It has a wide field, and could greatly enlarge its efficiency if it had a building of its own. This is at once its desert and its necessity. It is evident that any one who wishes to find in Cambridge a place in which he can invest his benevolent energies can readily do so. Any one who seeks here a congenial religious home, a church with whose worsh

nth since their organization (except during the summer), and have done some remarkably good work. A similar conference was formed in East Cambridge in the spring of 1894, so that the whole city is now included in the system of friendly visiting, so far as the comparatively small number of visitors will permit. The society was incorporated January 16, 1883, and the late Dr. A. P. Peabody was chosen president. He was succeeded by Mr. J. B. Warner in October, 1884, and by Rev. E. H. Hall in 1891; after Mr. Hall's resignation, Rev. Dr. Edward Abbott was elected president, and now holds the office. Mr. William Taggard Piper succeeded Dr. Emerton as secretary in March, 1882, and he was followed in 1889 by Mr. Arthur E. Jones, the present secretary. Dr. Vaughan performed invaluable service as director until his departure for California, in 1895; and Mr. John Graham Brooks has made his special knowledge in the field of organized charity and social questions of great advantage in the e

J. M. Tyler, and Mrs. B. F. Wyeth. Dr. Peabody succeeded Mrs. Paine as president, and at the time of his death in 1893 was the last one of the original trustees; Mr. William Taggard Piper was chosen to succeed Dr. Peabody. Mrs. John Bartlett and Miss Maria Murdock respectively followed Miss Sanger as clerk, and Mrs. J. M. Tyler and Miss Mary A. Ellis succeeded Mr. Mears as treasurer. Four trustees were added in November, 1875, and in January, 1886, the number was increased to seventeen. In 1891 the name of the corporation was changed to The Avon Home. The endowment was in the form of securities, which unfortunately proved to be of little or no value, and soon after the opening of the Home the trustees were compelled to call on their friends for contributions to enable them to carry on this work which was so pressing. Their appeal was answered, and it is worthy of record that during the whole period of the existence of the Home no debt has ever been incurred. In 1878 an adjoinin

East and Christian Union In October, 1875, Mr. W. G. Clapp began missionary work in the easterly part of Cambridgeport, and established the next year a Sunday-school, which gradually increased. In order to build a suitable hall for the enlarging work, a fair was held in 1888, and about $2000 was raised. The present corporation was formed in 1889. Mr. John H. Walker became superintendent of the Sunday-school in 1890. The building was erected in 1891 at a cost of about $4000, and is free from debt. In September, 1892, it was decided that the Union should be kept open day and evening, and that a superintendent should be employed to devote his whole time to the work at the building and in the neighborhood. Mr. Walker was secured to fill this position, and the result has been a steady increase of the usefulness of the Union. In January, 1896, a gymnasium, bath-room, and workshop were established in the adjacent building. The Union building is located on Brewery Street, in Cam
