The Cambridge of eighteen hundred and ninety-six: a picture of the city and its industries fifty years after its incorporation (ed. Arthur Gilman), Cambridge Common. (search)
y overshadowed the exercises of the college. After much contention, authority was obtained from the General Court, June 5, 1830, to inclose and beautify these grounds. The work was completed at private expense in 1832. This Common, so finely located in the centre of a large and growing population, is justly the pride of the city. Its value for recreation and the health and comfort of our citizens can hardly be overestimated. Upon the urgent appeal of the mayor of the city in 1868 and 1869, in both of his inaugurals, the city council decided to erect a monument upon the Common in honor of the soldiers and sailors of Cambridge, who gave up their lives in the War of the Rebellion. The corner-stone of the memorial was laid June 17, 1869, with appropriate ceremonies, the mayor making the principal address, after which the bells were rung and national airs played by the band and chimed upon the bells in Christ Church. The exercises were closed by the firing of a national salute.

generally called The Neck, consisted of woodland, pasturage, swamps, and salt marsh. To overcome the natural disadvantages of grade under which the city suffered, the filling of a large section was necessary, including the channels formerly constructed for the passage of vessels, leaving only for such purpose the so-called Broad Canal, which affords access to many coal and lumber yards. The several legislative acts were approved as follows: That relating to the Washington Street district in 1869, to the Franklin and Sparks Streets district in 1872, and to the Miller River district in 1873. Under the provisions of these acts much land was surrendered to the city by the owners, and was later sold at about thirty per cent of its cost. In addition to the freight facilities afforded by the navigable river, the Boston and Albany and Boston and Maine railroads, in the easterly section, where are located the greater number of our large manufactories, and the Fitchburg railroad, in the we

of the character of the university grounds is important to the city; for the city has much to gain from the continued openness of the university grounds. The denser the population of Cambridge becomes, the more valuable to it will be the open spaces round the university buildings, particularly as it is beyond doubt that these open areas will as time goes on be kept in a more and more decorative condition. Great improvement in this respect has been made during the last twenty-five years. In 1869 there was a shabby board fence along the southern side of the College Yard almost all the way from Quincy Street to Wadsworth House; and up to that time it had not been the custom to keep the College Yard in a neat and pleasing condition. There was a time when reservations for schools and colleges, churches and hospitals, were regarded with disfavor by some of the residents of Massachusetts towns and cities. They were held to be withdrawn from ordinary uses for residence or business, and

uipped with teaching power of the highest order; believing in the ever-increasing manifestation of the truth of God; anxious to blend the most earnest piety with the most active intelligence; and so to cultivate a deep, enthusiastic, reasonable faith; the Cambridge school stands very high among the powers which bid us hope great things for the work which the servants of Christ will do for his glory and the salvation of the world in the years to come. St. John's Memorial Chapel was built in 1869, by Mr. Robert Means Mason. Lawrence Hall, completed in 1880, is the gift of Mr. Amos Adams Lawrence. Reed Hall, containing the library, was built in 1875, by the founder, Mr. Reed. Four years after, Mr. John Appleton Burnham built Burnham Hall, the refectory. In 1893 Winthrop Hall was built by friends of the school, and was named after the Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, who until his death was president of the board of trustees of the school. The Deanery was given to the school by Mrs. Gray, a

form of charity. With a strong feeling that something could be done to improve this state of things, Miss Emily E. Parsons, a benevolent lady of Cambridge, who had with great acceptance served two years as nurse in the army hospitals in Fort Schuyler and on the Mississippi, during the War of the Rebellion, opened in Cambridge, in 1867, with the aid of generous individuals, a hospital for women and children. It was kept open a year, and then closed for want of a house. It was reopened in 1869. On the 13th of February, 1871, the Cambridge Hospital for sick and disabled persons was incorporated. Early in 1872 it became evident, by reason of a lack of interest in the community, that the hospital could no longer be kept open and, with the approval of Miss Parsons, it was closed May 1, 1872. It is due to this warm-hearted, energetic woman to declare that her interest in the hospital never flagged, and the hope never ceased that the day would come when the dearest wish of her heart

Swan, now its president, was elected in 1889. Mr. Dana, its first cashier, held the position until November 22, 1858, when he resigned, and Eben Snow was elected. Mr. Snow resigned January 1, 1890, and George H. Holmwere established in New York city, Philadelphia, and Chicago. It was found necessary to run his factory night and day. In 1869 the first reel or mechanical ovens were built, which increased the capacity to about twenty barrels of flour per oven. Fr865, common flower-pots, the world over, were made by hand on the potter's wheel, which was propelled by hand or foot. In 1869 the concern manufactured seven hundred thousand flower-pots; in 1894 seven million. In addition to this enormous number o
