1879 MEMBERSHIP LIST

The Bar Association of San Francisco was formed in the spring of 1872, as the constitution states, "to maintain the honor and dignity of the profession of law, to increase the usefulness in promoting the administration of justice, and to cultivate social intercourse among its members." It has maintained its principles, and its good work has been obvious in the general improvement of legal manners and greater urbanity of attorneys when brought into business contact. It was organized with twenty members, who selected from the Bar at large such persons as they deemed desirable associates. The number of members has increased to 125, of whom about 50 reside in the interior towns. Current expenses are defrayed by monthly dues paid by city members, who have the daily use of the rooms. The country members pay only an entrance fee. The Judges of all the courts have the privilges of regular members. The rooms are located on Commercial street, and pleasantly appointed, with reading-room, dining-room, sleeping apartments, and the necessary offices. One of the most conspicuous objects in them is a frame containing the orginal signatures of the members of the Convention which formed the first Constitution of Caliornia. Not much is attempted in a social way by the Association, but informal receptions and elegant lunches are sometimes tendered distinguished visitors. Among the celebrated guests who have been so entertained were Jere Black an David Dudley Fiell. The Officers of the association since its formation have been: J.P.HOGE, President; Hall McALLISTER and S.M. WSILSON, Vice-Presidents; Thomas B. BISHOP, Recording Secretary; J.R. JARBOE, Corresponding Secretary; R.C. HARRISON, Treasurer.
