The Cambridge English High School Debating Society discussed Pullman strike legality. Cambridge public skating warnings were issued for Fresh Pond. Alvin F Sortwell resigned as Cambridge Public Library trustee due to business burdens and family duties, with roles at Montpelier & Wells River Railroad and Cambridge National Bank noted.
