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 beginnings of Cambridge. (search)
the course of that year; and before ten years had elapsed, more than twenty thousand had come to stay. The first settlements of the Winthrop party were scattered about the coast near Charles River, making the beginnings of Charlestown, Boston, Dorchester, Roxbury, and Watertown. Among these places Boston was clearly marked for preeminence by its geographical position, but it was not at first the intention of the Company to make it the seat of government. A position somewhat further inland woutick, but the candlestick would not stay. In the course of the year 1635 began the exodus from the Charles River to the Connecticut.

When the town was founded in 1631, the intention was to make it the fortified political centre of theven Greek in the college classes of the school. It was doubtless such a school as Edward Everett described in his address at the dedication of the Cambridge High School building, June 27, 1848.
