What is the inscription over the front door of Cambridge City Hall and who wrote it?
God has given Commandments unto Men. From these Commandments Men have framed Laws by which to be governed. It is honorable and praiseworthy to faithfully serve the people by helping to administer these Laws. If the Laws are not enforced, the People are not well governed. The passage was chosen and probably even written by the building’s benefactor, Frederick Hastings Rindge. Q: For whom or what is my street named? A: The origin of many of Cambridge’s Street names has been documented. Please see our ongoing list here.
