t Cambridge, in order to define their creed and agree upon a system of church government. The work of the synod was finished in 1648. The Westminster Assembly's creed was adopted, as also a platform of church discipline, known as the Cambridge Platform, upon which all the Congregational churches of New England were able to stand for the next four generations. While the synod was in session the first permanent schoolhouse was built, on the west side of Holyoke Street, where it stood until 1769; for nearly another century its site was occupied by the printing-press long since famous as the University Press.

The fourth building was erected on Garden Street, a little west of Appian Way, in 1769, and the fifth followed it on the same spot in 1832. In 1852 the sixth building was erected on Brattle Street, and is occupied to-day by the Washington Grammar School,—in a sense, the lineal descendant of the faire Grammar Schoole of 1643. It is a curious history,—this transformation of a grammar school of the colonial type to a grammar school of the modern type. The dates of the nominal transformation may be assigned to the years 1845 and 1848, the change of 1845 being followed by a re
