There were several people named Ward in Higginson's acquaintance. One of his close friends was Samuel G. Ward who also belonged to some of the same social and intellectual clubs in which Higginson was a member. The "Cantabrigia" was the Cantabrigia Club in Cambridge. Its name derives from the Latin roots of the word from which "cambridge" comes. The club was interested in women's education and brought in a variety of speakers on topics of the day.
