Cambridge sketches (ed. Estelle M. H. Merrill), Some Cambridge schools in the olden time. (search)
There was another school, spoken of seventy years ago as the C. P. P. G., which, being interpreted, is the Cambridge Port Private Grammar, and this has no slight claim to remembrance. James Freeman Clarke was at one time its principal, and Dr. Holmes has touched it with his luminous pencil in one of his papers in the Atlantic. Besides the Poet-Autocrat it reckoned among its pupils Richard H. Dana, who was by and by to write his Two years before the Mast, and later to become eminent in many directions; and Margaret Fuller, the most remarkable woman that Cambridge has produced. It is doubtful if any or all of our existing grammar schools have names to conjure with like these of Holmes, Dana and Margaret Fuller. Yet the C. P. P. G. did not count hundreds: we were but thirty. Those of us who rank among the undistinguished were of course mighty and most honorable, howbeit as is said in the Book of Samuel, we attained not unto the first three. Our schoolhouse stood on the south si

Next to Hollis is Stoughton, a brick dormitory, built in 1805. Many clubs formerly had quarters here, and here. also, were the student homes of such men as Edward Everett (23), Oliver Wendell Holmes (31), Charles Sumner (12) and Edward Everett Hale. At the northern end of the quadrangle stands Holworthy, a dormitory built in 1812, in part with money raised by a lottery. For many years this hall was devoted to the senior class, and it is along the front of Holworthy now, that, on Class Day evening, the year of the graduating class shines out in figures of light. One of the claims to distinction which Holworthy enjoys is that during his American tour some years ago, the Pri

ey might have found the English Club, whose members care especially for the study of English and have been able to do successful work, gathered in the drawing-room for a pleasant hour. They might have heard one of the members reading a paper on Du Maurier. One spring day they might have found Dean Briggs reading to an eager company from the works of John Donne. Best of all, had they had the good fortune, on a day now gone, to be the guests of the English Club, they might have seen Oliver Wendell Holmes reading Dorothy Q. On Wednesdays our president or our dean, and oft-times some of the associates of Radcliffe, are at home, and groups of students are made most welcome with friendly greeting and home-like fire. On every other Friday comes the Idler, a club which all students are most cordially invited to join. The Idler,--as its well-known name announces, is purely social in its purpose, yet to the Idler, I am sure, Radcliffe owes a certain characteristic of unity which the l
