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 a city. (search)
chapter to indicate the progress which Cambridge has made in municipal unity, and the growth and prosperity which have resulted from municipal action and direction, rather than to dwell upon the results of private effort during the past fifty years. In other chapters of this volume, other writers have told of the achievements in the field of private enterprise; but here the work of the people as a municipal organism will be described, although necessarily in a brief manner. Compared with European standards of highly developed municipal life, Cambridge has few great results to show for its fifty years of charter existence; but as a type of the modern American city of the class approximating 100,000 population, it is of special interest. Here the student of American municipal methods may trace the rise and sure progress of a fine civic spirit; here may be seen the gradual abandonment of those sectional jealousies so characteristic of American towns a half century and more ago, and t

n eminent inventor; to him we owe the method of building up steel guns, which revolutionized the process of manufacturing heavy ordnance, both in this country and Europe. To understand Professor Treadwell's work one should read the admirable memoir of him written by Dr. Morrill Wyman. There had been a long period of intellectufounder of the herbarium and botanical department of the university, whose work has done so much to increase the reputation of Cambridge as a scientific centre in Europe,—is not the memory of his geniality and his astonishing vitality still fresh? Almost every mail brought him letters from the distinguished men of Europe, —DarwinEurope, —Darwin and Hooker, Romanes and De Candolle. These men wrote the words Cambridge, Massachusetts, on their letters with respect born of the labors of a modest man who sought no civic office. Such men are the choicest possessions of a municipality. To him I owe valuable scientific counsel and criticism; and he, too, had an ever-bubbling<

ood government. If such be the truth, is it not worth our while to dwell for a time upon the outward form of our city, to learn what can be done to make Cambridge a fitting home for the life toward which many men look as toward that which is strong and good in our civilization? Only after a city reaches that stage of existence when some parts at least have become crowded, does the realization of the need for open spaces make itself convincingly apparent. Indeed, it is only in the great European cities that we find the ideal development of lands given over to the use of the people, —in such vast centres as Paris, Berlin, Hamburg, and London. Elizur Wright has even said, in a description of London's magnificent parks, London would go crazy without them. That Cambridge itself is becoming crowded is proved by the fact that an entire ward might be laid out with a population of one hundred people to the acre, while smaller districts are still more densely populated. Such being the co
