The proud title of "University city" is one that can possibly be stretched to cover the entire territory included under the name of Cambridge, together with its numerous prefixes and suffixes. By the Boston Transcript, at least, the above title is extended to include the classic precincts of Cambridge port, where recently a rather curious proceeding has been taking place. A performance of "Young Mrs. Winthrop" by a Madison Square Campany has been advertised to take place at Union Hall in that town, a building hitherto restricted to the accommodation of the most strictly virtuous of Star lecture courses and Swiss Bell-Ringers. Upon this, three of the intelligent clergymen of the classic 'Port have taken it upon themselves to denounce in scathing terms this performance in particular, and the theatre in general. The Transcript thereupon expresses its surprise that such a proceeding could ever occur in a "University City." A "University City" is a delightfully elastic phrase, and might by this process be made the cloak of reproach for a multitude of sins. Nevertheless it would be hard to extend the reproach for such narrowness to the university itself. The good people of Cambridge proper, and of course more particularly of the outlying districts of the town, it must be said, take a very passive interest in all that concerns the college and the current of college thought. Between the icy embargo of its withered aristocracy and the nonchalant indifference of its more vital plebes, in this respect there is little to choose. Harvard University has become cosmopolitan. The city of Cambridge remains provincial.
