The Cambridge of eighteen hundred and ninety-six: a picture of the city and its industries fifty years after its incorporation (ed. Arthur Gilman), The Cambridge idea. (search)
The Cambridge idea. Rev. David Nelson Beach. Some four or five years ago, a phrase broke in upon our Cambridge speech with such suddenness, energy, and large significance as are hard even yet to realize. Who first used it I do not know. My impression is that our present Superintendent of Parks, then a leading writer on our Cambridge newspapers, was one of the earliest to apprehend its potency, and that he with his skillful pen somewhat furthered its becoming widely used. But whoever it may have been that first uttered it, and however serviceable the writer alluded to, or any other persons, may have been in bringing it into current use, certain it is that it survived and became a power of its own accord, and in a way that no single individual or group of individuals could either have initiated or prevented. It was like a new star coming into the heavens. It was like a newly discovered force offering itself to the uses of man. That phrase stands at the head of this article

They have realized the permanency of the result of such endeavors; that parks will not wear out, that though bridges, public buildings, water-works, sewers, and pavements must be replaced, earth work, as President Eliot has well said, is the most permanent of all the works of men. They have known what breathing-space means to the people, to hard-working men, to weary mothers, to little children. They have not forgotten what Rev. D. N. Beach, whose loss as a citizen of Cambridge we so deeply regret, would call the transcendental aspects of the park system. Neither have they lost sight of the fact that parks are a good municipal investment for Cambridge. They have remembered that Baltimore, that Buffalo, that Boston, have all been able to show that their great parks, through the increased valuation of the surrounding territory, have already begun to pay for themselves.

rst Parish, but while the controversy which resulted in that was becoming very serious, a second Congregational church was formed, the first of this order in Cambridgeport. This was in 1827. A meeting-house was built on Norfolk Street, and in 1852 a more stately house on Prospect Street, where the church now has its seat. Among its ministers have been Rev. William A. Stearns, one of the most honored and useful citizens of the town, and afterwards president of Amherst College; and the Rev. David N. Beach, who after eleven years of vigorous service, in which the interests of the city have known his influence, has just transferred his work to another part of the land. Other churches have been formed, three in Cambridgeport and one in North Cambridge, and there are thus six Congregational churches in the city. The history of the Roman Catholic churches will be written by another hand. But it is fitting here also to recognize the Catholic clergymen who have been prominent as useful
