West Cambridge was a part of that historic Cambridge which was so early famous in our country, the seat of learning and the home of patriotism. The honor of Cambridge is yours. After allusions to the times of the Revolution, Mr. Sumner continued: Many years ago, when I first read the account of this period by one of the early biographers of Washington, Rev.
