 Harvard Square History & Dev't by Charles Sullivan, CHC
The location chosen for Newtowne, as Cambridge was first known, was a low hill rising from the tidal marshes on the north side of the Charles River, at the entrance to a small creek (today recalled by Eliot Street), five miles upstream from Boston.
At the end of the Revolution, Cambridge consisted of the ancient village, surrounded by fields and farms and separated from Boston by a wide tidal river and miles of mudflats and salt marshes.
The construction of bridges between Cambridge and Boston in 1793 and 1809 upended the economic geography of the entire region.

 Arch Bridges   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
A simple arch bridge reaches across the river in an arching shape rather than straight across the river.
But since the bridge is curved, this force becomes a downward, outward force.
Rather than the force being spread evenly along the bridge surface, it is concentrated on the end supports.

O'Connor's presentation of individual bridges is based in large part on that of Gazzola, but he has obviously visited and studied a good many of the monuments he describes, and several times he is able to correct figures and statistics given in Gazzola's study (pp.
Even more fascinating is his detailed discussion of Trajan's bridge across the Danube, designed by Apollodorus of Damascus and depicted on well known reliefs of Trajan's column; O'Connor argues that Apollodorus used twenty-one segmented timber arches to span the river and create longest bridge ever built by the Romans.
O'Connor's discussion of aqueduct bridges in Spain and Gaul is better, since he had access to the studies of Casado (Madrid, 1972) and Grenier (Paris, 1935), but this one adds very little that is new and might well have been omitted altogether.

 Richard Cambridge Distant bridges   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
For Will, thea death of his best friend is shattering, but he survives the war, returning to England injured but alive, seeing the future in the eyes of Arthur’s growing son, and a new generation, who hopefully will never have to go through such a trauma again.
Directed by Dusty Rhodes, the two young leads played by Richard Cambridge and David East, are thoroughly convincing as innocents taught the harsh reality that war is no graet adventure, consequently they mature rapidly as the story unfolds.
In the lead role Richard Cambridge shows a potential of greater things to come, as he hopefully gains more experience from forthcoming roles that will stretch his ability to perform in front of the camera.

 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Stone Brings New Touch to Tough Job
To dig through public property beneath a city street, Harvard would need explicit permission from the Cambridge City Council, a group which tends to favor city residents—and which had often and publicly expressed their frustration with the University administration in general and for Stone’s predecessor in particular.
In response, Harvard made significant changes to the plans—dividing the center into two four-story buildings on either side of Cambridge Street, to be connected with a tunnel, which FAS administrators envisioned as a lynchpin of the project.
Cambridge Mayor Michael A. Sullivan says he agrees that the best thing to come out of the process is the city’s better relationship with Stone.
